This is one of those great recipes to have on hand for those nights when you've forgotten to plan ahead for dinner. Using ingredients we usually always have on hand, this hamburger casserole also offers an alternative to the typical meals you can prepare with ground hamburger.

Mini-meatballs are one of those perfect foods for toddlers.  They are bite-sized, tasty and packed with nutrition, not to mention the fact that they taste great in so many combinations.  I keep a batch in my freezer at all times for quick weekday lunches, dinners on nights when my son hates what my husband and I are having or as add-ins to other dishes.

Growing up, my mother used to try to hide rutabaga gems in the pan along with the roast, carrots, and potatoes. When I would wrinkle my nose and stick out my tongue (blah) she would try to convince me that it was actually a potato.  There was no fooling me -- I know my potato; and a rutabaga is not a potato. But I've also learned it doesn't mean it can't be cooked like one.

Holidays are full of yummy Pumpkin Bread, Banana Bread, and Cranberry Breads for sharing.
