I freeze some of the surplus, for stews and soups in winter . . . and for all the recipes that involve using the oven, which I don't do during our hot Missouri summers.

It also mean that fixing meals is, well, back on the table. I had gotten used to eating at odd times, maybe even skipping lunch after a late breakfast. Hubby dear likes three meals a day, and while he fixes his own breakfast and can fix a sandwich for lunch (with me having the ingredients on hand to do so), he likes supper at a regular supper hour and as a main meal. So, for the past eight days he's been home, I've had to plan supper. I know, not a tragic problem to have, but still one I have gotten out of the habit of doing. I do plan on letting him have some nights to plan, or I think I am. My problem is a control issue, I think. Anyway, I have a new chicken casserole I like, and it's easy, with yummy ingredients like noodles and peas and carrots. The great news is that the peas and carrots are frozen, so it makes it super easy. Here's the link to the casserole: http://tiphero.com/creamy-chicken-noodle-casserole/ The recipe calls for only a sprinkling of bread crumbs. I covered the top with them. <br /><br />Julia, I need to incorporate couscous into a meal. I used to order a fish entree at a restaurant that served couscous with it, and I loved it. Your dish looks so inviting.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-76568491645786703692018-06-24T13:55:17.666-04:002018-06-24T13:55:17.666-04:00I meant to say "it might."
