inexpensive yumminess

i love recipes
i love experimenting with recipes
i love recipes that feed my fam, inexpensively.
i will try to post the ones that are "awesome mom!" and "hun this one's a keeper"

so here is my latest... i apologize for not taking a pic...but it's veggie, meat, and crackers...easy to imagine.

Green Bean Pork (or chicken) Casserole
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 c milk
3 "shakes" Pork seasoning
3 "shakes" parsley
3 "shakes" onion powder
3 "shakes" pepper
1 c crushed saltines (or fried onions or stuffing mix)
1/4 c butter melted
4 boneless pork chops (chicken would be great too)
2 c frozen green beans

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a greased oven proof casserole dish pour out the beans, ontop of the beans spread out your meat. (I cut my chops into 3 sections and laid them out).
In a bowl mix soup and milk, add your seasonings - or experiment with different ones. Pour and spread out the soup mix ontop of your meat.
Make your topping with cracker crumbs and butter - add more of either for consistency or amount. Spread ontop of soup mix.
Bake uncovered for 35-45 min til meat is no longer pink.

Enjoy:)

From my crazy house to yours.

ARG.

Littlest of my princess' has sure been giving me a run for, well, the tissues!! Out of dire frustration - every day - we are still plugging away at nursing.
Yeah she is going through a bit of a nursing strike, as some call it. Though - she does have thrush on the inside of both cheeks, and my milk quantity isn't quite up to par, and she's kinda teething we think --but, she is going to be 3 months soon & nursing isn't new to her anymore.
So through daily tears and frustration we plug forward and onward. (why tears? well until you are holding your own child, while she is screaming and wanting the one thing you have, but can't give her -- or that you have and she won't take...well don't ask) I could give up, but alas I have control issues...and darn it, I will not let this get the best of me, lol. (yeah I laugh now, cuz she's sleeping).

On a completely other side of my mind is all the other ponders of my world.

Say what you will but there are some grand and wonderful things about it. Such as, I found this marvelous book....which led me to the woman's blog...which then I just had to buy the book.
Hmmm I will let you know my thoughts in the future.
