Green Beans Italiano
This is such an easy side dish and oh, so good. I didn't measure, just sprinkled the dry herbs onto the sauteed onion and garlic, and then added the blanched beans and quartered tomatoes. Quick heat through, toss, and serve. I grated a bit of fresh parmesan cheese on top. These were wonderful!!! I imagine with fresh herbs they would be elevated to a higher level. Would be perfect for picnic/potluck fare. Thanks for sharing!

Silver's Savory Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
I really enjoyed this one. I used mini bowtie noodles and fresh steamed broccoli. The secret for adding flavor to my chicken is you season and flour boneless skinless pieces, and then brown them in a little olive oil and butter. Cube or leave whole. The sauce for this casserole is like making gravy, and you can add whatever seasonings (like poultry seasoning) to make it more flavorful. This made a large quantity. Leftovers were great. I prefer mixing it all together as opposed to layering. It did not turn out dry at all. Thanks for the awesome recipe for a casserole that does not require a can of soup!

Veggie Vegetarian Chili
Yum! This is some good vegetarian chili, on the mild side, but can easily be altered to your liking. I omitted the carrots and corn, added a zucchini, and drained my beans before adding. I also added about a cup and a half of water. Let simmer for longer than 20 minutes (more like 40-50 minutes) and the flavor was really good. Baby portabella mushrooms were great in it. Can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch and dinner later in the week!
