Stuffed Potatoes

Whenever I bake banana bread, I have a empty rack in the oven. It feels like a wasted opportunity and energy, so I try to fill it up.
Today a threw in some potatoes for supper.
Tonight we have baked potatoes with steamed broccoli and cauliflower (frozen .99 a pound) quarter pound of bacon crumbled (bought a 3 pound box of bacon ends for 2.33 a pound) and cheese sauce like this.


Chicket Pot Pie Casserole

Yesterday I boiled up some chicken and had some broth to use.  I had bought peas and carrots for 0.67 and that popped into mind.  I whipped up some homemade cream of chicken soup.  It was something like this. Then tossed in one shredded chicken breast and half a pound of peas and carrots.  I greased a 9x9 and poured it in there.

I was too lazy to make a crust or biscuits to top it, so I buttered some bread ends seasoned and chopped those up.  I broiled them on on low for 4-5 minutes and put that on top of the casserole with about 1/4 cup of cheese.

Everyone liked it, which is a small miracle.
