It is the end of the year picnic for DS7's school tomorrow. I have to bring a "side dish" (not a green salad. Another grade was assigned those). Sadly, WH would have taken care of this in the past, as his pre-RN career was cooking.

Any ideas? Easier is better!

Cole slaw

Buy the shredded cabbage/carrot bags and mix in some Marzeties slaw dressing. Done.

I have a recipe for broccoli pie. It's delicious and easy to make. Want me to post it?

AN: I am intrigued. Please post, unless it requires Gordon Ramsay level of culinary skill.

lol, no. I almost didn't open the thread because it said calling all domestic gods. I can just about boil water. This broccoli pie makes me feel like a rock star. Everybody loves it and I never ruin it, which is a miracle in itself.

Here it is:

1 onion chopped
6 eggs
1 lg. bag of frozen broccoli (defrosted and drained) You can use spinach instead of broccoli if you prefer.

garlic
3/4 cup veg oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated parm cheese
1 1/2 cup bisquick

Grease pan (I use a square baking pan 9x9 or thereabouts), mix eggs, oil, bisquick, parm cheese and onions.

Add garlic (I use the kind in the jar, maybe 1/2 tsp more or less), broccoli and 1/2 cup of the cheddar (save the other half).

Cook for 1 hour at 350 and sprinkle the other 1/2 cup cheddar on top.

Done! Delicious!

Corn pudding--simple and the children love it, as well as the adults. I double it for big crowds and it cooks just as well.

1 (8 1/2 oz) package corn muffin mix
1/2 to 1 tsp. sugar
1 can (15 1/4 oz) whole kernel corn (drained)
1 can (14 3/4 oz) cream style corn
1 stick butter, melted and cooled
8 oz. sour cream
3 large eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter 2 qt. casserole dish

In a large bowl combine all incredients and mix until blended. Bake uncovered on center rack of preheted oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Allow to sit five minutes before serving.
