Welcome to day camp - it's either a place for you to get inspired and want to make stuff, or a place where I can show off the cute things I've made since my family is tired of my texting them pictures every day! Just like camp I do all kinds of fun projects - crafts, DIY, bake, cook, garden and more - and can't wait to share them with anyone looking for ideas.

I posted this recipe in '21 using a pork roast, this time I made it with boneless country ribs for a "My Family Is Hungry" meal. I know that dried onion soup mix is not gluten-free so a couple family members cannot eat it, I left it out of the dish and not sure how much it changed the overall flavor but it's still really good. I could have made my own dried mix (click here for a recipe) but I was in a hurry to get this into the crockpot.

There was a lot of fat from the ribs after cooking it; I refrigerated it overnight and scrapped off as much of the fat as I could. Here's a review from Macey, she's right that it did not look great before re-heating it!
"I'm not going to lie when I first opened the tub and looked at tonight's meal it looked a little questionable haha. (The color is slightly off-putting!). However, once it was heated up and served over rice, it was thoroughly enjoyable. I enjoyed this meal from its sweet cranberry flavor paired with the savory from the meat made for a really delicious dinner. The texture was great! It was like a thick sauce with chunks of tender pork! I would definitely have this one again."

I've been going thru old recipes (I still have an old box that I used to use before I changed to a binder system, it hangs out in the top of my cookbook cupboard and I have to get a tall stool out in order to access that high shelf haha, I decided to go thru some of these old ones and share with you even if I don't have a picture!).

I don't have anything to show you today but I am working on organizing my 200+ notes that I have in the Note app on my phone. I have miscellaneous notes starting in 2013 until now and when I want to find something I have to scroll thru the entire list until I come across it. Which is a pain but not something I thought about organizing until now. I found a helpful video on YouTube (click here to watch it or search for 'how to organize Apple notes' by MinorCo). The idea is to create folders and subfolders to store the notes in categories, and also to tag each note so you can quickly find the note you're looking for.
Example: I have a folder labeled MMDC, subfolder named 'guest posts' with a tag named #buffy. To find the posts that Buffy has made I can look in the 'guest post' folder or I can just click on the tag down below and it will take me to any post that I've added the #buffy tag.

"Tonight's dinner was a slight spin on a classic meal that we used to have all the time as kids! Cheesy chicken and rice with broccoli used to be a staple in our house growing up in the 90's. Tonight's casserole was very similar, although a little runnier than what I remember from when I was little, but still delicious nonetheless. I liked the carrots and the crisps that went on top of the meal! Both added great texture. This is a great comfort meal for those cold winter days, although it was finally in the 50s here today! 😊"

I've been going thru old recipes (I still have an old box that I used to use before I changed to a binder system, it hangs out in the top of my cookbook cupboard and I have to get a tall stool out in order to access that high shelf haha, I decided to go thru some of these old ones and share with you even if I don't have a picture!).
I don't remember my mom making this but it's her handwriting so it's either something she made and I didn't eat because until I was about 30 I despised sauerkraut!! I love it now for some reason - and I think this casserole using a base of rueben sandwich ingredients topped with a bisquick mixture might be delish. I'll add it to recipes I want to make in the future and let you know how it goes once I do!
Note: the recipe calls for a can of corned beef, I assume that's like the kind you'd use for corned beef hash right? When I first saw the recipe I thought of sliced deli corned beef like you'd use for a rueben sandwich...what do you think, should we try it with canned? I'm pretty sure it's really high in sodium and I'm thinking I'll go with either deli meat slices, or I'll use the leftover corned beef that I make for St. Patrick's Day.
Here's the recipe as written, do what you want about what kind of corned beef you use:
