Make Ahead and Freeze Chicken Casserole
Some of us will actually be able to have family together again for Easter Sunday. Are you stressed about trying to re-learn how to have company again?

I previously shared that my husband and youngest granddaughter kicked me out of the kitchen and cooked and baked for me on Valentine’s Day. I went on and on about how delicious the flourless chocolate cake was; so much so that several of you asked for the recipe.
I can’t get desserts off of my mind when it’s cold outside, and especially when I’m trying (kind of) to cut back. But chocolate keeps calling my name!
I enjoy watching the British mystery shows on PBS. I wax nostalgic over the short, rough hewn walls fencing in the rolling emerald green pastures dotted with bright yellow buttercups pictured in almost every village scene. When I hear the crunch, crunch of feet on pebbled walkways on these shows, I flash back to the entrance of my grandparents’ home in Oban, Scotland. I open the squeaky gate and run up the pebbled walkway to my Granny and Grandad’s humble home, a second floor apartment of a four-unit walk-up on the outer edge of the town.
It’s a scientific fact that smells are connected to specific memories. Cinnamon is like that for me.
I’ve noticed that from my younger demographic readers, I get the greatest response when I post my go-to recipes that happen to be nostalgic, “grandma” recipes. Therefore, today I’m sharing a Texas gold-star recipe handed down in many “Lone Star” families, the King Ranch Chicken casserole which originated from the King Ranch itself in South Texas.
