Green Chili Rice

I have been making this Green Chili Rice recipe for years. I first shared the recipe way back in 2010. Ten years later I am still making this easy side dish.

It makes a great side dish for Mexican type meals, roast, chicken, and more.

I think this recipe originally came from an Old Taste of Home magazine. I love their recipes from the 1990’s. I have adapted so many of those early Taste of Home recipes over the years.

This Green Chili Rice is one of my favorites because it is so simple to make using a few basic ingredients that are easy to keep on hand.

I have made this as a side dish for many Mexican type meals, but I have also taken this to church potluck type dinners. It is always a popular dish.

This Green Chili Rice reheats well so I have also used this many times as a side dish when I take a meal to someone. It also makes an easy lunch.

I love to serve this with Instant Pot Refried Beans and Salsa Chicken. It is also great with Mexican Pork Chops or even a simple meatloaf.

If you are serving Oven Tacos to company it is a great way to stretch the meal to serve a few more.

I will say though that this particular recipe contains minute rice. I am not usually a fan of minute rice, but in this recipe it works the best. I have tried it with regular rice and it just does not turn out right.

I usually keep a small box of minute rice on hand just to use for this recipe.

This recipe also uses cream soup. It is one of the few recipes that I use cream soup in. We have discussed the cream of soup debate before. Many of you love it, but some of you hate it and I get it. I have a love hate relationship with cream soup as well.

You can use a homemade cream soup in place of the canned soup. If you are gluten free be sure to use a gluten free canned cream soup.

Menu Plan

Here is this week’s menu plan.

Menu Plan February 10th-16th

Quick and easy meals for your week.

Easy Oven Pancakes

Today’s kitchen tip is an easy one, but one I use all the time. I learned this tip from a friend, probably over ten years ago, and I have used it more times than I can count. It is now one of my favorite simple breakfast tips and I cannot believe that I have never shared it on my site. Today I am fixing that. […]

Chocolate Chip Coconut Granola {aka Mounds Bar Granola}

Chocolate chips and coconut combined in this homemade granola makes for a delicious breakfast treat! Whenever I have chocolate and coconut together it reminds me of a Mounds Bar, which is one of my favorite candy bars. Chocolate and coconut just go together so well. Really how can anything with chocolate and coconut in it be bad. Well, maybe if you don’t like coconut, it […]

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard boiled eggs are my favorite thing to cook in the Instant Pot! If you have an Instant Pot and haven’t tried Instant Pot hard boiled eggs you need. Really you need to! Before I had an Instant Pot I kept hearing how good hard boiled eggs were when cooked in it. I always thought really what could be that great about eggs in the […]

Chili Relleno Casserole

This might just be my family’s new favorite dinner. We love it! And so far I have not only made it for my family, I have also taken it to a church dinner and made it to give a friend that has been sick. Everyone loved it. This is one of those very simple, yet full of flavor dishes that is perfect for a quick […]

Oven Tacos

When I shared the recipe for oven tacos, way back in 2011, for my ground beef recipes series I had no idea how popular they would become. The response to this recipe and that whole series has been more than I imagined. I had no idea you all loved tacos and ground beef so much. All this time I thought ground beef was boring and too […]

Slow Cooked Dr Pepper BBQ Chicken

Slow Cooker Dr Pepper BBQ Chicken is a simple three ingredient meal that your family is sure to love. This recipe has been a favorite at our house for years. I recently made it for company because I needed a really easy meal and I realized that I had never shared the recipe here with you. I knew I needed to fix that. I have […]

Spaghetti Pie

This is a recipe that I have been making for years, probably close to 17 years. It is one of those kid friendly, inexpensive meals that freezes great and works well for taking to potluck dinners or to a friend in need. I cannot count how many times I have made this over the years, but I know it is a lot. It is tried […]

Fried Cabbage and Kielbasa

Fried Cabbage and Kielbasa is an easy one pot meal.

Gluten Free Menu Plan

This week’s menu plan includes one of my kids favorite breakfast for dinners. Gluten free biscuits and gravy! My kids love biscuits and gravy, but I don’t make them very often. Biscuits and gravy are not hard to make, so I really need to put them on the menu plan more often.

Here is this week’s gluten free menu plan. I made notes next to the items that need to be gluten free, but as always read labels to make sure the ingredients are safe for your family.

Everyday Adventures

It is time for another Everyday Adventures post. I love doing these posts because they share a look into my life that is a little different than the recipes that I normally share.

Oklahoma has the best sunrises and sunsets this time of year. Views like the one above are one of the reasons that I love living in the country!

This sausage has become one of my favorite easy meals. I buy it at Costco, but I am pretty sure other places carry it. It is not the cheapest kielbasa, but it is so good.

I have served it with sauerkraut. I have served it quickly fried in a pan with eggs. My son has heated it and eaten it on a hot dog bun many times. I have sliced it and served it with oven potatoes.

No matter how I have served it, we have loved it. And please ignore my feet that made it into that picture… 🙂

Fried rice is one of my favorite clean out the fridge meals. I have shared several recipes over the years.

We love steak fried rice, chicken fried rice, and breakfast fried rice. But the reality is that I often don’t follow an exact recipe and that is the fun of fried rice.

You use a basic recipe, but you change it up depending on what you have on hand. I recently made it with some leftover rice, bacon, peppers, and mushrooms that needed to be used up and it was so good.

I need to update this post, but years ago I shared all about freezing fried rice. Yes, you can freeze it for an easy lunch or dinner.

Life in a house with multiple food allergies and intolerances means that dinner can sometimes look interesting.

This week I made my slow cooked cheesy vegetable potato soup for dinner. But since one of my daughters eats dairy free I also made my creamy white chili with sausage.

The good thing though about having two large pots of soup is the leftovers. We had plenty of soup for several meals.

I shared some of my recent reads over on From Our Bookshelf. I know that it is only February, but a couple of the books will probably make my list of favorite books of the year. 2020 has been a great reading year so far for me.

If you love reading and books as much as I do be sure to join our Facebook book group. I love to talk about reading and books with others.

My dairy free daughter was gone for dinner one night recently, so I made homemade mac and cheese. After I made it I realized that I had never shared the recipe with you.

I quickly took a few pictures and will share it soon. It is my favorite easy way to make homemade mac and cheese.

Over the years I have shared pictures of our animals for my Everyday Adventures posts, so I thought I would share this one today with a little bit of a sad note.

We recently lost our dog. Life with animals, especially when you live in the country, involves loss. It is just part of life, but it doesn’t make it easy.

Camo was our rottweiler that we got as a puppy less than four years ago. We aren’t sure what happened. He just found him one morning with no signs of trauma or anything.

He hadn’t been sick or had any issues. Animals die of similar issues that people do, so we think it was probably a sudden heart issue or something like that.

He was my favorite dog of all the dogs that we have had. He wasn’t the best guard dog, he loved everyone, but he was by far the smartest dog that we have owned. He will be missed.

And now we will be looking for a new dog or puppy this spring. Our two pure bred dogs have both died young. Our random who knows what they were dogs, that came from the pound and from friends, have all lived long lives.

We live in the country so I will only have big dogs that can survive life in the country. So that will be a must in our search. My kids are already looking at pictures online trying to decide what to get. I will keep you updated on what we find.

I hope that you have a great weekend!

Cheesy Beef Enchilada Soup

Need an easy soup recipe for dinner this week? Cheesy Beef Enchilada Soup is quick and easy to make. It is cheesy and delicious.

One of my goals for 2020 is to share more of the recipes that I have taken pictures for, but have never shared with you.

I have a folder full of recipe photos that I have yet to share because the photos are not great. The recipes are ones that we love, but for one reason or another the photos did not turn out great.

Most of the time it is because I am in a hurry when I take my photos. My recipes are the recipes that I make for our meals all the time.

This soup picture was taken at 6:30 on a busy weeknight. 6:30 in the winter means that it was dark outside and not the best lighting for photography.

It also means that by 6:30 my family is hungry and waiting for dinner.

As I am trying to get the best picture, they are patiently waiting for dinner, hoping that it doesn’t get cold by the time that I am done.

Many of those photos end up in a folder on my computer waiting for me to take new photos. But I often don’t get around to retaking them.

Life happens and often when I go to retake the recipes it is again 6:30 at night and my family is ready for dinner…

In 2020 I am going to change that. Great recipes with less than perfect photos will still get shared. Today is an example of that.

We love this cheesy beef enchilada soup. Well, my dairy free daughter doesn’t eat it, but the rest of us love it.

It is easy to make with basic ingredients. You can serve it as is or with tortilla chips on the side. It isn’t a pretty recipe and doesn’t have a pretty photo, but it is an easy and delicious dinner.

This recipe is based on my Copy Cat Chicken Enchilada Soup. If you love chicken soup be sure to give it a try.

Yield: 12 servings

Mom’s Easy Sourdough Pancakes

These easy sourdough pancakes have been a favorite in my family for years. The recipe came from my mom and we ate them almost every weekend for breakfast when I was a kid.

Not only […]

Eggs and Rice with Soy Sauce

Eggs and rice with soy sauce is one of the least expensive meals that I have ever fixed. In fact, it may be the cheapest meal that I have served my family. It seems too simple, too plain.

Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Bark

Two simple ingredients is all that you need for this easy homemade pumpkin seed bark! A few months ago I was shopping at Costco around lunchtime. Shopping when hungry is dangerous because it is so tempting to put everything in your cart. Shopping at Costco when hungry is even more dangerous because there is even more to tempt you. One of the things that tempted […]

Gluten Free Dairy Free Main Dish Recipes

Do you need some gluten free dairy free main dish recipes? We put together a huge list of recipes just for you!

Over the last few months I have received phones calls from my mom, sister, and several friends asking questions about cooking for family and friends that were gluten free and dairy free. My daughter was recently asked the same thing by a couple of friends.

We have dealt with food allergies and issues for so long that cooking gluten and dairy free, and reading labels is a way of life for us, but that is not the case with everyone.

Cooking gluten free and dairy free can be challenging, especially those new to it. It can be even more challenging for those that have never done a lot of cooking.

After conversations with family and friends, my daughter and I decided to put together a list of our favorite gluten free and dairy free main dish recipes.

Our goal with this list, and with all the gluten free recipes that we share, is to share recipes that taste great. Not all gluten free and dairy free foods are worth eating. We have probably all had some really bad gluten free food.

We love to create meals that are so good no one will think about the fact that they are eating something that is gluten free and dairy free.

The list of recipes we put together are all meals that we eat all the time. They are recipes that both the gluten free eaters and the non gluten free eaters in our family enjoy.

There are so many meals that can be made gluten free and dairy free. Food in it’s natural form is usually the easiest. The more processed the food is the more likely it is to contain gluten. Even dairy is in many prepackaged foods.

Hopefully this list will not only give you recipes to make, but also give you ideas of how recipes that you already make can be made gluten free and dairy free.

Some of the recipes below are pictured with cheese, but we just leave out the cheese or serve it on the side, when my daughter, who is dairy free, is eating it.

If you are not familiar with gluten free and dairy free cooking, you must read labels to make sure the ingredients are gluten and dairy free. It is surprising how many items contain gluten and dairy.

Regular soy sauce is not gluten free, but you can buy gluten free soy sauce. Canned broth is normally gluten free, but not always. Some brands of taco seasoning are gluten free, but not all. Those are just a few examples. Always read labels to make sure the brand and items you are buying are gluten and dairy free.

Now for some of our favorite gluten free dairy free recipes.

Ground Beef Tomato Macaroni Soup

Ground Beef Tomato Macaroni Soup is a basic homemade tomato soup with ground beef and macaroni. It is quick and easy to make using basic pantry ingredients.

My husband’s family has a recipe for tomato macaroni soup that they have been making for years. My husband grew up eating it. His parents and grandparents made it all them time.

My husband and I ate it during our early years of marriage because it was so inexpensive to eat. I always thought of the recipe as a depression era recipe because it was so basic. In fact, it was almost too basic.

My husband would totally disagree with that. He loves it because it is so basic. I however have never loved the soup because it felt like it needed something more. It needed more flavor and something to make it more filling.

So over the years I have come up with different versions of a basic tomato soup. I took the concept of my husband’s family recipe and have turned it into different versions that are more filling and more flavorful.

This soup is my favorite version. It is a fairly classic tomato soup with ground beef and macaroni added to it.

I love this soup during the fall and winter. It is quick and easy to make with ingredients that I almost always have on hand.

Can Tomato Macaroni Soup be made gluten free?

Yes it can. I make it gluten free using gluten free pasta. The version is the picture is made with gluten free pasta.

What ingredients are in Ground Beef Tomato Macaroni Soup?

ground beef
onions
garlic
tomatoes
chicken or beef broth
macaroni
salt
pepper

So this week’s menu plan includes recipes like my favorite banana bread, my mom’s lemon bars, baked oatmeal, spaghetti pie, and other recipes perfect for this time of year.

Here is this week’s plan.

Breakfast
