Congratulations!!

I just have to say "Congratulations!!!!" to our three friends who have recently told us they are expecting babies. I'm clueless as to whether or not they are telling anyone yet, but I just had to say that we are so excited for you!! Best of luck on the adventure!

On a personal baby note...one more week until the third trimester!! Can anyone tell me why the trimesters are not equal?? That just doesn't make sense to me. But oh well, we're almost there. I'm nervous about having two kids, but I figure that so many other women do it, and do a great job, that I can do it. The Lord will help me. Plus, I'm excited to have a little baby again! My little one is just growing up too fast!

Leftover Turkey?

While I love Thanksgiving, weeks of leftover turkey sandwiches are not my favorite. My mom always bought a record-size turkey (usually 3-4 and froze them) and we had turkey leftovers for like a month. One of my favorites, aside from sandwiches made with Mom's rolls, mashed potatoes, and turkey, is a turkey casserole. I didn't have my mom's recipe, so I looked this one up and it tastes the same to me--really yummy!! Try it out for yourself and see!

Turkey Casserole:
1 can Cream of chicken soup
1 can Cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1 can diced green chiles
10 oz turkey (diced into bite-sized pieces)
corn tortillas
cheddar cheese

1. Mix soups and sour cream with chiles in a medium bowl. Cover bottom of a greased, 9x13 in pan with corn tortillas, layer with turkey and then soup mixture. Add a layer of cheese. Repeat layers ending with tortillas and cheese on top (usually only two layers of turkey and soup). Cook at 350 degrees for 30 min or until cheese is bubbly.

Brian really likes this served with salsa (for a little extra spice). I just love it plain, served with corn or green beans. I'm tempted to buy another turkey, just to make this casserole!
