We said good-bye to the beach as well as the rich yet wonderful meals that we enjoyed…and yes, we certainly enjoyed them! 'Havana's' in Rosemary Beach, 'Bud And Alley's' as well as 'The Great Southern' in Seaside, 'Dewey Destin's' in Destin…you name it we enjoyed them to the fullest!
But…when it was time to come home this lady was craving down home Southern cooking!
So, I made Squash Casserole!

As well as my all time favorite Oven Barbecue Chicken with yellow rice!
(All of the recipes are at the bottom of this post.)
And no Southern meal would be complete without homemade…well, almost homemade corn muffins! (love that Krusteaz brand!) However, I also did a post several years ago which you can see HERE for my grandmother's recipe for the most delicious corn muffins ever!
With this meal I also served English Peas with it because…well, because I like them and I was tired at this point!
I must say that I thought it was ironic that Holly chose to make this meal as well…or at least the Oven Barbecue Chicken…we truly do think alike! It's so easy and its really very healthy!

Try it out and let me know what you think!
So, until we meet again old faithful beach chair…I will be enjoying home cooked meals and exercising like crazy! I think that is a fair trade! I hope you will try at least one of these recipes. I am posting the chicken and the squash if you'd like to make them!
As always... I would love to know your thoughts!

Oven Barbecue Chicken
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 T ketshup
3 T vinegar
2 T lemon juice
3 T worchestershire sauce
1/2 C water
2 T melted butter
4 T sugar
1/2 t red pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. chili powder
tobasco suace to taste, garlic powder to taste
Place cleaned chicken breasts in an oven proof casserole dish. Mix all of the other ingredients together and pour over chicken, making sure sauce also gets under the chicken. Cover tightly with a lid or heavy foil. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 1 1/2- 2 hours. Serve over yellow or white rice.
This is truly one of our families all time favorite dishes! Your house will smell amazing while it is cooking!
Squash Casserole
10 pieces of medium sized squash, rinsed and sliced 1/2" thick
1 small onion, diced
1/2 stick light butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 T sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
4-6 ozs. sour cream ( I use light)
3/4-1 C light mayo
1/2 C parmesan cheese
8 ozs. grated cheddar cheese
1 sleeve Ritz Crackers, crushed
1/4 stick melted butter
saute squash and onions with the butter. Season with salt, pepper and sugar before cooking. Drain squash well in a colander once it is tender…pushing out the excess water as best as possible. In a mixing bowl add the squash mixture with the mayo and sour cream, egg and cheeses. Place in a greased casserole dish. Top with crushed crackers mixed with the melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly!
I hope you love it like we do!
