Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Chicken Noodle Casserole

A good casserole is always welcome, right? This one is reminiscent of chicken noodle soup. We loved it and the leftovers were great. It's makes a nice sized casserole if you have a larger family or need to take a dish to a pot luck or something. If you want to make it and don't need or want a large amount, then just put half of it in a baking pan to freeze for later. We always enjoy having a little something to pull out of the freezer for a quick dinner, don't we?
