Yellow Squash Casserole




I did a makeover on the original recipe to make this more Weight Watchers friendly. The Weight Watchers point value on this recipe is now 4 Points per serving!! That is down from 7 Points per serving!

    This was Very Good and I used 2 quarts of Squash that we had Canned last Summer. It was Very Moist and Flavorful. We will Definitely use this the next time. I may use Sour Cream instead of the Milk, next time. Thanks!!

Slow Cooker "Melt in Your Mouth" Pot Roast

This recipe has proven to produce thee best pot roast I've ever made.  Every component is pure perfection.  The meat is juicy and fall-apart tender.  The vegetables are cooked just right and are full of flavor.  The seasonings are simply spot on and the broth yields a fabulous gravy-like sauce that is divine when poured over everything prior to serving. We usually have leftovers of this, so we often make hash the following day.  The leftover roast is, also, fabulous utilized in a hot roast beef sandwich for lunch. Yields 4 - 6 servings.

This sweet potato casserole is perfect for your holiday meals! I love Ruth's Chris version and this one is just as good. It is more a dessert than a side dish, but its so good. If you have it for a dessert, add vanilla ice cream and its even a bigger hit! Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole Servings: 6-8 Instructions: CRUST: 1 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup flour 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans preferred) 1/2 cup butter (melted) SWEET POTATO MIXTURE 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (can use canned to save time, just drain) 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs (well beaten) 1/4 cup butter, melted (1/2 cup) Instructions: Combine brown sugar, flour, nuts and butter in mixing bowl.
