Is it safe to line the oven with foil

 

I have always lined my oven with foil.  It is something I learned from my nana, so I did it too.  I'm sure you did too.

Click here to go to an article from Southern Living that discusses the use of foil in the oven.  It also gives other uses for foil in the kitchen.  Very interesting and informative article.

Love this recipe!  These pot pie pockets are perfect for freezer meals that are quick and easy  Would be an awesome snack.  

When you have leftovers after a big turkey meal, make these pot pie pockets for a different type of leftover meals.  The cream cheese and puff pastry make it very interesting to me.  Puff pastry makes it so easy.  You can substitute turkey with chicken or pork.

Loving the chicken casseroles I have been finding.

These recipes are perfect for leftover chicken or turkey. 

Since I am now cooking for one, I rarely make chicken because it is cheaper and easier to buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.  Good idea to use with this recipe.

Bobby's Goulash

I've never had goulash, but this recipe reminds me of chili mac without the beans.  Love one pot meals!

The reviews of this recipe were mixed about the seasonings. Many said they would not use as much salt the next time they made it.  I suggest adding the seasonings a little at a time, tasting each time.

Thanksgiving Ideas and Tips

 

For years and years, JR (my first husband) and I hosted Thanksgiving for friends and family.  It was a highlight of my life, I absolutely loved doing all that cooking and so did JR.  We had a ball preparing for the event.  Since we live in subtropical Florida, we set up seating areas outdoors, everything was served buffet style and actually very easy doing it that way.  We did not have to wait on anyone, everything was set out for them and they helped themselves.  Of course, it took lots of work to prepare, but we got to enjoy the event along with our guests. What a fun time . . . those were the days!

Southern Living has an excellent, extensive Thanksgiving section with great ideas and tips for Thanksgiving, including planning, hosting and recipes.  Many of the recipes are the traditional ones with a twist, very interesting.
