Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:
- Chicken
- Vegetables
- Carrot
- Broccoli Florets
- Small Onion
- Leak
- Butter / Olive Oil
- Chicken / Vegetable Stock
- Rice
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a small roasting pan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat on the stovetop until shimmering. Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 4 oz each) and cook, turning once, until browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 2 carrots, 1 small onion, cut into rings, 1/2 cup sugar snap peas, and 1/2 cup frozen peas and cook until the vegetables are bright in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a plate and set aside. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in the same pan. Stir in 1 1/2 cups rice. Add 3 cups chicken stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken and vegetables on top and transfer to the oven. Bake, uncovered, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 30 to 40 minutes. For the really little guys, roughly chop their portions, then pulse in a food processor until coarsely or finely chopped.

Cranberry Sauce with Walnuts
I can’t remember where I got the recipe, but basically it’s:
- 1lb Fresh Cranberry
- 1 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Water
- 1/2 Cup Crushed Pineapple
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts (or less – depending on preference)
- Sprinkle of Ground Cinnamon & Clove
Directions:
- Wash the Cranberries and set aside
- Bring the Water and Sugar to a boil
- Add the Cranberries and Clove and keep stirring
- Once the Cranberries pop open, add the crushed pineapple
- Next add the Walnuts and Cinnamon and Blend
- Cool & Serve
The actually recipe also calls for a whole orange to be chopped up (unpeeled) and added – but I skipped that part.

Berry Strata
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 4 slices of bread, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
- 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen mixed berries, thawed and drained
Directions
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Turn off the heat, add the honey, and stir to combine.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the eggs, ricotta, and sugar. Using a fork, mix to combine and beat the eggs. Add the milk, orange juice, butter and honey mixture, and bread. Stir to combine. Gently fold in the berries.
Place the ingredients in a 10-inch round (2-quart) baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata until golden on top and baked through, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into dishes and serve.
