Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by Recipes From The Heart Of Your Home. Don't forget to check out the Christian resources we have linked to on the left of the page. I am a Christian wife and mother, doing my best to take care of my family and be a good steward of the wonderful blessings God has given us. I enjoy cooking for my family and doing it unto God for His glory. I love to cook from scratch when it's affordable and not too time-consuming and I especially love to bake. Lots of family and friends ask for my recipes so I've decided to put them on a blog so they can get them or anyone else who wants them. I think you can make good quality, good tasting food at a fraction of the ready-made price and it doesn't have to break your budget. Please let me know how these recipes turn out. They're our family's favorites. I'll be updating this blog as often as I can. Enjoy and God bless!

Creamy Tuna Casserole



This tuna casserole isn't your usual run-of-the-mill kind with cream of mushroom soup that really lacks in flavor. This is a really creamy and flavorful casserole that is great to double and stock up in the freezer. The addition of tomatoes adds a great flavor that is unexpected and the mayonnaise keeps it really moist.

Creamy Tuna casserole

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
(the spices below are my addition to the recipe, but I think it adds a lot of flavor and is necessary)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried dill
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper

8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked and drained (can use other pasta, I used radiatore in the picture)
2 cans (6 oz.) tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 oz.) (I like to use more)
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) chopped tomatoes, drained well (optional) (These are a great addition)

1)Preheat oven to 375°.

2)In large bowl, blend mayonnaise, milk and spices. Stir in cooked pasta, tuna, peas, tomatoes and 1/2 cup cheese. Spoon into 9 X 11 inch baking dish; top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

3)Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. (I don't bother covering it and it works fine)

Chicken Broccoli Divan



This recipe is so easy and delicious for the little effort involved. I like to double this recipe and will possibly triple it in the future because it goes so fast that there never seems to be leftovers.

Chicken Broccoli Divan

4 cups cooked broccoli flowerets
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. dry bread crumbs (using italian crumbs adds a nice flavor)
1 tbsp. butter, melted

Mix broccoli, chicken, soup, and milk in a bowl and put in a 9 in. pie plate or 2 qt. shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Mix bread crumbs with butter and sprinkle on top. Bake at 450 deg. F. for 20 min. or until hot. Serves 4.

Corn Casserole



This is the traditional corn casserole that always seems to show up at potlucks and around the holidays. If you've never had it, you've gotta try it! I always keep the ingredients on hand so I can whip it up real fast at a moment's notice. You can also use about 2 cups of frozen corn instead of the canned whole kernel corn for a fresher taste. This recipe couldn't be easier to make.

Corn Casserole

1 can creamed corn
1 can whole kernel corn
1 stick butter, melted
1 8oz. package sour cream
1 pkg. jiffy corn muffin mix

Stir together all ingredients and put in an 8 X 8 dish. Bake at 350 Deg. F. for one hour and top is browned.
