    I've loved all your CTMH projects. Great cart. I had hopes to be able to order this one, but things just didn't work out.
    Maybe I'll get lucky and win the new cart. lol
    I love casseroles and my hubby won't eat them. (plus he doesn't eat cheese. But I do make a mean mac and cheese which most of the family loves.

    My son is allergic to dairy so it's been tough to find casseroles without cheese, or cream-of-whatever-soup. But I make a Mexican casserole that doesn't have cheese and is yummy, and a chicken broccoli noodle casserole with my own soy-based sauce and soy sour cream.

    Weekly Wrap-Up was awesome! Your talent shines through in all that you share! My favorite casserole is Queen Ranch Chicken with corn tortillas, Rotel and stewed tomatoes, chopped onions, cheese, and a thickening sauce. Delish!

    I love casseroles but I think I'm the only one in the family that does. My favorite is a Chicken Tetrazzini but now that I'm on a new, clean eating plan I can't have it because of all the creamed soups, cheese and mayo. LOL

    This has been such a wonderful series... so many great ideas and techniques. TFS and inspiring! I have so enjoyed getting the emails and watching your videos. It's one of the first things I do every morning. And I love the polished yet welcoming look of your videos.

    My favorite casserole? That old fashioned rice and broccoli casserole with chunks of chicken. Still my favorite!!

    Thank you so very much for such a wonderful array of projects using the Artbooking cartridge! You have provided so much inspiration that I've planned to get busy this weekend with many ideas with this cartridge. Will you be doing any mini albums from this cartridge? It would be really cool to see what you come up with. My family's favorite casserole is almost like a quiche (but not) with zucchini, cheese, ham and seasonings...it's good hot or cold and is a "go-to" dish when my zucchini plants have gone berserk...lol! Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas with all of us!

    So many really nice projects made with this cart. I really need to save my money for this one. Yes we have a favorite casserole. It is a box of Kraft mac and cheese. Add extra cheddar cheese, French fried onion rings, topped with hot dogs, more French fried onions rings and cheddar cheese and baked in the oven for about 30. min. Everyone loves it! Have a fun day!

    Love you're weekday wrap up BTW. Great idea!

    As a mutual Dallasite there was a dish years back that La Madeline made. They used to have it on the quick menu options there on the walk through line. It was a scalloped potatoes dish with ham and whole pieces of garlic. They served it in a large crock.

    To duplicate it, I used an Alfredo recipe but mixed up the cheeses. My favorite is using smoked applewood gruyere with Parmesan and Swiss. Such a delicious combo! I usually ommited the whole garlic cloves. Sliced red potatoes into a 13x9 Pyrex. Melted the cheeses in a pan first. Added slices of ham throughout, poured the cheeses over. Put foil tightly over and cooked 425 till done. Usually an hour.
    That right there could be the whole meal but does make a delightful side dish.
    Try it, you will get lots if ooos and ahhs!

  22. UnknownAugust 31, 2013 at 9:46 AM

    Thanks for the great wrap up! It's nice to have all the projects in one place. I think my favorite casserole is still broccoli, cheese, and Ritz casserole. It's a side dish not a main and it's one my mom has been making since I was a child. :-)

    Iabsolutely love this cartridge and the way you showed how versatile it is. I am budgeting this one in. I use to make an enchilada cassarole, very simpilar to enchilada's, but instead of rolling each one, you layer everything in a round casserole dish. It is really good. I think I will have to make it soon. Mary in Houston with rotbo.

    I love that you repost everything you did in the week! Just in case I missed one. The casserole I love to make the best is one that I can make when I get so busy crafting that I forget to make supper. It's 1 lb ground beef browned and drained, 1 can spaghetti, and 1 can vegetable beef soup. Mix, warm and eat!

    Your projects are sheer Joy ( no pun intended) to see altogether...gorgeous! I wish I could afford this cart it's so me! I love my Cricut and love tat you still use it when all the crafting community seems to use the Silloette.

    I have made a chicken and potatoe casserole with sharp cheddar that I call " Chicken n Potatoe man" it was a delicious error I made once and enjoy recreating it for my family.

    Thanks for the chance to win and Happy Labor Day.

    My very favorite casserole is called "Husband's Delight". To make it you take leftover spaghetti and put it into a large casserole dish. Then you layer your leftover spaghetti sauce, it works great with or without meatballs. Then you mix a cup of cream cheese with a cup of sour cream and spread it on top of the sauce and meat layer. Then top the whole thing off with a layer of shredded cheese before baking in the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes. My husband who hates cream cheese, sour cream, and leftovers always asks me to make this one for him. :)
