Recipe(tried): Chicken and Broccoli Casserole and Peach Cobbler South

Good Morning,

This delicious Chicken Chicken and Broccoli Casserole always seems to hit the spot. I obtained this recipe from my next door neighbor, the only difference is that I saute onions and garlic to go into it. It is always filling and sooo tasty!

I'm also in the mood for some Peach Cobbler like the one we enjoyed at Atwater's Soul Food Cafteria. This one is with canned peaches and it is yummy served with vanilla ice cream. Especially on a hot summer's evening, just as the sun is going down....this has to be one of summer's quintessential dessert!!

I wanted to make this casserole so that there would be leftovers for tomorrow night...we will be going to see "Cats" and you know how hungry one can get when you get home to nibble on something...the leftovers are always more delicious the next day.

Happy Cooking!! Gina
