Good Morning Green Beach Smoothie

Drink your greens, my friends 🙂  Seriously, if you haven’t jumped on the green smoothie bandwagon you should give it a try!  Some of you may have to get past the color and the thought process of drinking vegetables, but after that it is smooth sailing – trust me on this one 😉 If you […]

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Chicken Cordon Bleu….you know the taste – first that crispy crunch of a just right breadcrumb crust hugging a juicy chicken breast wrapped around smokey sweet ham and tangy swiss cheese.  Hashtag swoon!  I do love to make chicken cordon bleu and my hubby sure loves to eat it, but sometimes there just isn’t time […]
