During the cold months of winter, casseroles are key when feeding friends and family. Easy to make and full of hearty ingredients, it’s no wonder these type of dishes are so filling and popular. This recipe yields up to 12 servings, and keeps very well in the fridge. The condensed chicken soup, and mayo, make this dish a creamy cheesy delight for all.

Let’s hear it from our friends over at Food Network:

This was a big hit at our house.  Even my super picky eater devoured it!  Had everything ready and popped it in the oven before picking my kids up from practice.  When we came home… voila;  Delicious dinner served!  Will definitely make again and again.

This certainly is a breeze to put together, and it only gets better after a day in the fridge, when all the flavors have really combined. That is, if you are lucky enough to have leftovers…

Quick tip: Use whole grain brown rice for a healthier option.

Although it’s unclear how this recipe originally got it’s name, it’s very unlikely that it had anything to do with grasshoppers – at least not in the ingredients! With every element of a decadent dessert rolled into one, this chocolate green dish will please the palate of everyone at the table. This no-bake recipe literally takes minutes to make AND seconds to devour. With a crispy chocolate crust, a cookie crumble, and a drizzling of fudge, this dish practically flies off of plates. That’s why I would highly recommend making two of these, for a larger crowd!

Let’s hear it from our friends over at The Girl Who Ate Everything:

This Grasshopper Mint Pie starts off with a chocolate crust filled with a creamy (grasshopper free) mint filling. The pie is chilled, then topped with crumbled chocolate cookies and drizzled with chocolate syrup. This Grasshopper Mint Pie only takes about 5 minutes to prepare and a couple of hours of chilling until it is ready to serve.

Quick tip: I bet this would also be delicious when frozen!

You know what I thought of this morning when I woke up? Nothing. I didn’t have time for thoughts when I forced myself out of bed at 4:30a.m. and rushed to the kitchen to make some coffee. I had barely opened my eyes yet but I knew it was going to be a busy day – and somewhere in the back of my head I also knew I probably wouldn’t have time to make dinner. But then I suddenly remembered my stash! The secret stash of super easy recipes that only take a few minutes of prep time. I found this one in there and before my coffee was done, I was already getting this started!

A savory, spicy dish that will warm your tummy, this is a perfect set-it and forget-it dish. Pile all these delicious ingredients into your crock pot and let it stew all day! Although to some, the dark meat of the turkey is not as desirable, this recipe calls for just that. This recipe also calls for cocoa powder, it’s what creates the creamy mole sauce of the chili.  Serve this with tortilla chips, or warm buttered cornbread.

Quick tip: This recipe yields 8-10 servings.

The very first time I saw this cake at my friend’s birthday party, I thought she had ordered it from one of those fancy bakeries. I actually even asked her where she got it from, so I could keep it in mind for my next party! She laughed and asked me if I could keep a secret… And then she revealed she had whipped it up in 15 minutes the other night. I could not believe it! But she gave me the recipe and told me it was the easiest dessert in the world.

Here’s your chance to chill out with these simple yet delicious sandwiches, filled with oozy fudge, and fluffy whip. You can also decorate them in any fashion you choose, be it for the holidays or a birthday. With only 4 ingredients in the recipe, and 15 minutes of prep time, this dessert can be made in a jiffy! I dare you to have just one serving…

What happens when you combine some creamy frosting with gingerbread? You get a scrumptious dessert that is not only for the Holidays anymore! These little treats will be the center of attention at your coffee table – or the highlight of your dinner. Adding a citrus flair to the gingerbread makes the flavor even more delightful, and that dark rum gives you and your guests something to talk about! This recipe yields about 12 cupcakes, and is insatiably tempting, in terms of confectionary cupcake creation. Add in a kick of ginger, and you have a mouth-watering masterpiece!

Let’s hear it from our friends over at Food Network:

Wonderful recipe! Truly the correct texture and taste of true gingerbread! I followed the recipe as stated and the results were just as expected – Tangy Gingerbread with yummy touch of sweetness from creamy icing.

Quick tip: The garnish on this dish is a tasty and tart crystallized ginger, but you can use something a little sweeter, like color coordinated sprinkles, if it suits your fancy.

Quick tip: Instead of pecans you can use your favorite nuts!

Did you get carried away and cook a little too much chicken or turkey? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. In fact, it happens to me a lot! When it gets to dinner time, I’m usually already so hungry that I assume I can eat like a horse. Surprisingly, though, my tummy doesn’t always agree, so I’m left with all this extra chicken. Which is why I have a stash of great leftover recipes!

This time I wanted a little something different! I’ve made all kinds of soups and casseroles from leftovers, but I hadn’t tried this recipe yet. So I thought, why not – and it turned out so tasty I’ll probably use the same one next time! This recipe makes 6 servings so it’s a great dinner for the whole family, especially when served with a nice salad and some fresh bread.
