Clean Out The Cupboard Casserole – YUM!

Keep in mind, that when you cook with the grandkids, it’s probably not going to turn out as good as when you do it yourself.  The purpose here is not to strive for perfection, but to have fun.So make it something simple!  Look forward to measurements not being exact and your kitchen turning into a mess!  These are the good old days they’re remember.  They do the stirring and mixing and you do the stove and oven part.  Just keep them safe and have fun and some day, they will be able to cook (almost) as good as you!Now this might be just a little bit too much fun, but here is a link to Pretty Witty Cakes with some free cake decorating tips.  Enjoy!

    I love this recipe and the idea of this article! I am always looking for inspiration for dinner, and I usually wait until I am too hungry to concentrate (or my diners are too hungry to wait)! I plan to keep these items on hand so I am ready for the next time I need to come up with a delicious, quick recipe!

    Thanks!
