Loaded Baked Potato and Chicken/Sausage Cheesy Casserole

I'm back!!!  I know it has been 5 months since I have blogged, but life has been busy.  I have been cooking and trying new recipes, but haven't had the time to load them.  Because I feel like we haven't had time to just "be" and finding time to cook those cool new recipes seem like a hopeful thing of the future, I have been cooking a  lot of dishes that we could have for at least two days or something I can prepare ahead of time.  I find many of my recipes on Pinterest or Kraft.com and then I modify them to my southern routes.  For example, most people have made some type of potato casserole, but my family loves MEAT.  I added sauteed smoked sausage and chicken to the dish.  Tomorrow, I will try a Chicken Parmesan Casserole (with no noodles...instead a brown or white rice cooked separately).

My hope is to blog more in the summer.  Stay tuned for that Chicken Parmesan Casserole Recipe.  Be sure to follow my blog, leave comments, and share it with others.
