I went to my local hfs, Real Foods, and spent ages trying to decide if I wanted to buy any delicious, delicious processed convenience foods because I could not figure out what to make for dinner. I had already decided to buy some cream cheese (Sheese brand, fwiw), nooch (finally replenishing my stock), and marshmallows (more on those at a later date), but that obviously didn't help with dinner. Then Mike called to ask me something, and while we talked we figured it out.
We decided on chickpeas and broccoli - I already had frozen chickpeas, and he bought broccoli. When I got home and started cooking, I decided to use the cream cheese I'd just bought to make Granny's Corn Casserole from
Cookin' Crunk. It turned out super quick and easy - apart from chopping the roasted red pepper that stood in for the pimento, there was almost no work required. It took about 5 minutes to throw together, which is always a bonus.
It tasted alright, but I think that was down to using a lesser cream cheese. I bet it would've been great if I'd bought Tofutti, but the only one they had was the herby one (which probably would've been fine). I liked it, but I think I would've preferred the version she mentions in the intro. I might see if I can recreate that one myself!
