Hi Friends!

Here’s my weekly post sharing about what’s going on in the world of RecipeGirl, as well as some fun links to things I’ve come across lately. So here it goes: following are 10 things to share with you this week- everything from recipes to shopping to a few fun articles and more. There are a few affiliate links included here and there. Enjoy!

Warm and Cozy Casseroles!

• Even casserole nay-sayers will be happy with this Beef Burrito Casserole.  It’s a dreamy dinner recipe because you will find that everyone will be satisfied with this one.
• This Chicken and Broccoli Rice Casserole is made with a delicious white cheese sauce and cheddar cheese too. It’s baked a short amount of time to warm it all up.
• Easy Tater Tot Casserole is the ultimate comfort food dinner. It has a creamy, ground beef sauce and it’s topped with plenty of melted cheese.
• Sometimes you just need a good comfort food recipe… a recipe that is easy-to-make… and a meal that every member of your family will eat without complaints.  I’ve got one one those recipes for you: Beef and Bean Enchilada Casserole!
• This Chicken Spaghetti Casserole recipe is the best comfort food casserole recipe!  It’s a good dinner recipe for cozy winter nights, and it’s one that the whole family typically enjoys too. 

Fun Shopping Finds:

• I need these joggers in every color. Don’t they look so comfortable (on sale)?
• Loving this green dress for St. Patrick’s Day (on sale!)
• Need a suede jacket with fringe? This would be so cute with boots (on sale).
• I hope I get this beautiful red satin robe for Valentine’s Day!
• Check out the sapphire sky color on this dress. Gorgeous.

Instagram accounts to follow:

• Follow BabyAnmlpics for animal cuteness overload.
• Follow YouGottaEatThis for some tasty postings!

What I’m watching and reading:

• I watched The Last of Us on HBO Max. If you’re into zombie type/end of the world kind of shows, you’ll enjoy it. I loved it.
• I just finished listening to Nora Goes Off Script. It has been a while since I’ve listened to a light-hearted, fun kind of book, and I really enjoyed this one. It has a bit of a love story to it. It kept my attention on my daily 5-mile walks!

Fun Recipes I’ve spotted on the internet this week:

• Love this > How to make Amazing Flavored Water.
• Would you try Fried Green Beans?
• Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas look good for dinner!
• I think we all need to try this Creamy Tuscan Chicken Gnocchi Soup.
• I’d love to try baking this Maraschino Cherry Cake for Valentine’s Day!

Here’s what’s going on in my life:

• Super Bowl and the Waste Management Open have been happening at the same time here in Arizona this week, and everything ends today. The town has been crazy busy with lots of traffic and parties and events everywhere. My husband went to the Open, but I stayed away from all of it!
• One side of the hallway in the entrance to our home has been torn out to put a new large, four-panel door that leads to an inner courtyard. Now we need to fancy up the courtyard! It seems like home projects are never-ending.

Catch up on food-related news of the week:

• New cookbook release > The Essential One-Pot Cast Iron Cookbook for Beginners: 150 Delicious & Easy One-Pot Meals from Breakfast to Dessert by Laura Garrett. It’s the perfect resource for anyone looking to learn the ins and outs of cooking with a cast iron pot. With more than 100 recipes ranging from hearty stews and soups to delicious roasts and casseroles, this cookbook has everything you need to get started with this versatile kitchen tool.
• It’s fun to check out this map of the most popular Super Bowl dips in every state!
• Here are some restaurants that will be featuring Valentine’s Day deals!
• Giada De Laurentiis is leaving Food Network after 20 years!
• Check out the best instant hot chocolate brands (determined from a taste test!)

Products I’m loving:

• These monogram necklaces are pretty, and would be a nice gift for Valentine’s Day too.
• If you’ve been looking for a good fat free/sugar free salad dressing, the SkinnyGirl brand balsamic flavor isn’t bad.
• Love this tabletop fire pit!
• This canvas and basket tote is so adorable. Would be a fun gift to fill with things!
• Do you use avocado oil in your cooking? I’ve pretty much replaced my use of olive oil in sautéing with avocado oil. You can buy a big bottle of it at Costco. 
• We have this ice bucket. I keep it on the counter in our bar area because it’s so cute!

Bake this week: 

• Pineapple Banana Bread (love the flavors in this one)
• Amish Sugar Cookies (melt in your mouth!)
• Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake (for Valentine’s Day!)
