Buttermilk Potato Casserole

November 6, 2023 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Buttermilk Potato Casserole   This is a recipe I shared years ago but I wanted to share it again and update it with a few photos! Mike's mom was here recently and she made an incredible potato casserole that reminded me I had this recipe written, just waiting to be published!  I don't know why I waited so long!  Gently baking the ...

Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner

Mexican beef and rice skillet I LisaGCooks.com

Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner This is one of those dishes that is soul-soothing-delicious.  I made this dish on a cold night and it warmed me and the house.  I love how the corn stays crunchy and by adding black beans you're significantly adding fibre and protein.  The green onions at the end give more crunch and ...

Broccoli and Cheddar Soup I LisaGCooks.com

Cheesy Broccoli Soup My very good friend asked me to recreate a broccoli and cheese soup she absolutely adores from one of her favourite restaurants.  I've never actually eaten it so it made it quite difficult.  So rather than come up with a way to replicate that soup I decided I would make a soup that would be so amazingly delicious that she'd ...

Homemade Caesar Dressing

homemade caesar dressing

Homemade Caesar Dressing One of my 'Guilty Pleasures' and I'm using quotations on purpose is Caesar salad.  The quotations is because it's a salad but delve deeper and you know what I'm saying is true.  Enter the mayonnaise based dressing; the foundation for the cheese and bacon.  I'd say I'm sorry or ashamed but I'm NOT! I love you Caesar salad ...
