I'm so sick of making dinner.
Everyday- clean the house, do the laundry, make the dinner.
BLECH!
Last night, I refused.
Oh yes, I really did.
Until about 7:30, when the guilt hit.
So I steamed some broccoli, cut up some oranges, and offered cheese and crackers as dessert.
They were so happy.
So today I resolved to be better.
"I shall make a new recipe!"
"Something with ham!"
"Even though my daughter hates ham!"
So I did.
And now I feel guilty.
I've never put so much bad stuff into one dish.
I don't make casseroles, and I may never make one again.
Cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, ham, and potatoes topped with bread crumbs.
And, um...melted butter.
I know, I KNOW!
I was just following the recipe.
It's not my fault.
By 8:30 p.m. their arteries will be clogged.
I'm bad.
BAD! I tell you!
Who feeds this to their family?
Bad moms, like me.
That's who.
I might as well serve beer as a beverage while I'm at it.

LOL! I hate casseroles now. After eating too many in our early years of marriage. Who thought those fattening things up? Oh yeah, us mom's with lots of mouths to feed.
I rarely cook. It seems that you have to be home to cook. Some freak law of nature or something. I feel no guilt about it anymore. My children have become gourmet cooks. My 10 year old even cooks macaroni and cheese and Ramen noodles like a pro. That's got to be worth something.
I am a casserole maker from time to time. I try not to think about how bad they are for you and just think about how good it tastes...
I made canneloni last night, and it kind of burned me out, so I think we may be having salad and sandwiches tonight instead.
Now I am wondering why they always have those kinds of casseroles at funerals...so we can all join the dead sooner?
don't you go making me feel guilty about the deep dish mac and cheese i have waiting in the fridge to bake and feed the masses in one hour. 2 cups of cheddar, 1 cup of mozz, 1/2 c of parm cheese, 1 cup of sour cream. topped with a butter and bread crumb mixture. i will NOT feel guilty. though, i will have to take 3 lactose pills in order to enjoy it...
There is nothing wrong with casseroles... you just have to do a 60 minute cardio routine when you're done eating. Not a big deal, really...
I don't think I have ever had a casserole, and I feel really sad about it. As fattening as it may be, it sounds scrumptious. I am willing to take a year off my life to eat it for dinner tonight.
What is this guilt you speak of?
Millie would say beer goes with everything you know.
Mmm...that sounds good. Any leftovers?
As long as you serve green M&M's for dessert, you're good. For the nutritional value of the green, not the other part of the green.
I just wish there was a casserole that didn't involve Cream of --fill in the blank--soup. I try to use extra sharp cheddar for more flavor, less cholesterol (b/c you use less cheese).
LOL!!
You need to visit our Eazy Mealz blog. There are a ton of recipes with less than ingredients and they are yummy!!
I love casseroles and I have the figure to prove it!!! When I make them I just add more vegetables then I don't feel so guilty ; )
No wonder I love casseroles. Mmmmmm, fattening. :-)
casserole's ain't so bad. you get everything in one dish--less to clean up. use less cheese and more broccoli and peas and some rice instead of pasta and did you know that butter is better for you than oleo? oleo is a science experiment gone very wrong. i'd rather clog up the veins than get the cancer. and all this from a casserole.....
My family would love to die in that manner!
(See Lauren's comment above if you doubt my sincerity.)
Ha!! My 4 year old would definitely agree with your last statement.
Hey! That casserole sounded like "Funeral Potatoes" plus ham! Maybe that's why they are called funeral potatoes? They kill you by clogging your arteries. And some Relief Society President got confused somewhere and started serving them at funerals! LOL
I think for dessert you give them each a bar of cream cheese with chocolate topping drizzled over it:)
casseroles are delicious. worry about the arteries later.
oh man doesn't king ranch chicken sound good right now? you can even buy it frozen. not that I have...yet
You honestly don't make casseroles? I thought that being a Mormon Mom it was a requirement.
I would say root beer goes with everything, even casseroles.
Seriously, funeral potatoes are like death on a plate. We thought they were just called that because we make them for funerals... they also CAUSE funerals. Now you know.
I was inspired by your post. I made a casserole. I am the only one eating it:(
I'm sure you've offended hoards of mormon women. I'm with Carroni, I thought that was a requirement for learning to live within our means or "provident living", I'm pretty sure CASSEROLE is one of the chapters.
I was thinking it sounded an awful lot like Funeral Potatoes mixed with Ham too. In that case.....dinner is made!!! I have both in my fridge right now!!
Thanks Carrot!
I heart casseroles and all of their fatty goodness.
If someone would just invent a Lipitor Casserole, we'd all be set!! All the cheese and none of the cholesterol - SCORE!
We had a nutritionist come to RS one night, and teach us how to make lower fat versions of our favorite recipes.
She made funeral potatoes, and said that the only reason to put the butter in them is to add more fat.
Since then I have always made them without the butter, and you can't tell the difference.
Not that you could look at me and tell the difference.
I remember at Women's Conference Sister Hinckley telling us the story of her casserole days. She was pulling one out of the oven when her son Richard walked through the kitchen. He looked at her holding the casserole and asked, "Mom, why did you bake the garbage?"
My children have the same feelings about casseroles. They are ingredient purists. Casseroles?!?! I might at well throw all the ingredients in the garbage disposal than take the side step of serving it at dinner. They even don't let the marinara sauce touch their spaghetti!
Yum. Casseroles.
The 98% fat free cream of... are just as good, when you add a few sticks of butter. Ha! Paula Deen made me do it.
that WAS good casserole but i've run into a problem, im sitting at the computer and I can't get up because the chair arms are digging into my lovehandles, I think you are going to have to call 911 to extract me
Love your 500 lb. Daughter (not Brynn but TRIPLE CHIN!)
LOL
Have you heard that mid-90's song, Tootsie Roll? No? Where have you been??!!!?
Anyway, I'd like to sing a verse with lyrics especially written for you....Ahem.....
Cook some gizzards? Uh-huh, that's old. Let's go eat some casserole!
Here it is TOOTSIE ROLL
I fully expect you to learn that dance so we can be synchronized when we shake our tootsie rolls on the beach this summer.
Beer and casseroles have lots of fattenings...
Reading the comments on a post like this are half the fun. They are quote worthy and keep me laughing all day.
Thank you!
