Everyone thinks the Christmas holidays is the only time period where you pack on pounds because of food. This statement may be true when you look at other holidays like Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s Eve, but what about Thanksgiving?...
If you put this in a zip-lock bag and turn it over once in a while it isn't as messy. (great recipe!!)
A simple and delicious chicken casserole that doesn't take a lot to make or enjoy!
