I am proud to say that it has been more than a year since I served my family a boxed dinner like hamburger helper.
Before being a farmgirl gave me the confidence to break that habit, I usually served it once a week. I was making such a big mistake even though I thought I was making good use of my grocery dollars.
I've learned to re-work our leftovers to make quick meals that are so much more nutritious - I have been making soups and casseroles. The greatest thing I have learned is that I can make tasty food that my family will eat without having to follow a recipe exactly...this is huge for me. I did not leave my childhood home knowing how to cook but I can confidently say that I am a good home cook now!
I so appreciate all that you fellow farmgirls have taught me both directly and indirectly about real food and eating fresher, closer to the farm foods. You have really helped me so much. Thank you!
Last week, I posted on my blog on making homemade soup. This week, I've outlined the basics of making a casserole. I hope it helps another farmgirl have the confidence to create your own recipes.
What are your favorite casseroles?

I enjoyed your blog post. I live alone, so I often fall into the habit of making boxed and frozen dinners. When I do cook, I always have a lot of leftovers. This has given me some ideas. Thanks :)
