Used some chicken legs, rice, onion, red pepper and a can of diced tomatoes to make a delicious baked dish. Didn’t use all of the red pepper or onion so we diced the extra up and threw it in the freezer. . https://www.theseoldcookbooks.com/spanish-chicken-and-rice/
We are in Italy! Can’t wait to share all of our adventures with you…but first gelato! It is amazing here and we plan to try some in every city we visit. First up in Lido (one of the islands of Venice). #TOCinItaly
Sundays are for yummy breakfasts, like this one! Are you a runny yolk fan? We are when we have toast to sop it up! 😍 . https://www.theseoldcookbooks.com/egg-in-a-basket/
This Potato Sausage Casserole is sooo good! We added some mushrooms (cooked in butter beforehand) to stretch our sausage (only had about 1/2 pound leftover from another meal). . https://www.theseoldcookbooks.com/potato-sausage-casserole/

Turned 16 cups of garden tomatoes (Romas from our garden and orange ones from @purduestudentfarm ) into around 8 cups of pizza sauce for the freezer. Can’t wait to pull it out this fall/winter and enjoy on our homemade pizza nights! #garden #pizza #tomatoes #yum
We arrived home to a garden bounty despite no rain. Sweet corn, broccoli (a surprise), edamame (this was our entire crop but still delicious) and a handful of tomatoes with basil. Added a salmon burger from @costco and we had a meal! #garden #yum #whatsfordinner
What an amazing sight…this Eagle just sat and let us float on by during a float trip out of Talkeetna, Alaska. We never have been so close to one of these majestic birds. #alaska #eagle #amazing
Did you know that you have to go through a mountain to get to Whittier, Alaska? And that it’s a shared tunnel with trains?
Kentucky Southern Squash Casserole is one of our favorite ways to use the yellow squash from our garden! https://www.theseoldcookbooks.com/kentucky-southern-squash-casserole/
The zucchini keeps coming so tonight we cut it in half and scooped out the seeds. Then we filled it with a can of chicken, bacon crumbles, some Alfredo sauce. Topped it with cheese and cooked it covered for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees F then for another 5 minutes uncovered. Left it under the broiler at the end to brown the cheese. It was an easy meal using what we had on hand. #garden #zucchini
Don’t have barbecue sauce? Dig out those extra BBQ packets from your favorite fast food restaurant! We used one packet per pork chop and they turned out amazing! (Please ignore our dirty grill!)
First pan of roasted squash (yellow and zucchini) is in the oven! This is 4 medium sized squash…still have 8 more on the counter. Our #garden is off to a great start. . https://www.theseoldcookbooks.com/pan-roasted-summer-squash/

First #peonies of the year. We transplanted several of my husband’s grandmother’s peony bushes last year and luckily they seem to be doing OK. Hoping for more blooms for many, many years!
Doing some fishing on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. . #outdoors #outdoorindiana #fishing
When it is #asparagus season, you have to get creative. We modified our favorite Spanish Chicken and Rice recipe by using a can of diced tomatoes with oregano and basil instead of regular diced tomatoes, added asparagus instead of peppers. Delicious! https://www.theseoldcookbooks.com/spanish-chicken-and-rice/
White Chocolate Candy Mix - https://www.theseoldcookbooks.com/white-chocolate-candy-mix/ We love making seasonal version of our favorite candy mix (sometimes called white trash mix). For Easter we use pastel M&Ms and Mini Cadbury Eggs!
