Here it is - that time of year when everyone's thoughts turn to food!
I'm thankful that at our house, we have plenty of food, but sometimes I
am not so grateful that I am the one who usually gets to cook it!
So I am always on the lookout for simple, tasty recipes that are also easy on the budget. Here are a few of my family's favorites:
Corn-Rice Casserole
Pour into greased 2-quart baking dish and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly.

Sweet Potato Casserole
Tip: You can make this the day before. Just refrigerate till you are ready to bake.

This one is perfect for supper the night before Thanksgiving.
Harvest Time Soup
Add cheese and ham; cook, stirring till cheese is melted.
This makes about 4 servings, but it could easily be cut in half or doubled.
