- Summer is Here!
- Summer is here and with the summer months, our wildly popular Tomato Basil Pie is back!! Some of you have inquired about the safety of the tomatoes, and we want to assure you that our tomato pies are SAFE, as the tomatoes are heated to 140 degrees when you bake them for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Cooked tomatoes do not fall into the government warnings for Salmonella. Raw tomatoes are the only ones affected in the recent warnings which have been in the news lately.
This pie is outstanding...I baked one last night (the first of the season for me) and we had it as a side dish to our roasted chicken! With only 4 of us in the house right now, we had left over's and I think that it is even better if there are left over's! Hanna Kate, one of my daughters, had a left over piece for breakfast this morning and I finished out the leftovers for lunch! If you like tomatoes, you will love this dish!
Summer can be slow at Casa-Rolls (as our busiest time is during the school year)....however, many of you will vacation over the next few weeks and Casa-Rolls is a GREAT way to plan for your holiday meals! I am planning a beach vacation with my extended family in August, and we are going to take some casseroles so that we don't have to spend extra money and long hours waiting in line for a table when going out to eat with 20+ people (the size of my "Miller" family). Our appetizers are great too for the vacation you might be taking this summer! You can freeze the casseroles to travel in a cooler for long trips of 6 plus hours with no difficulty, or if you have a big enough cooler, you can travel with them fresh with ice packs to keep them at the right temperature.
Retha's Spaghetti is back by popular demand!! Also, this week's special is King Ranch Chicken. This recipe comes from Texas, and is a spicy chicken casserole that is topped with crunchy crushed tortilla chips. If you like spicy & Mexican, you will love this dish! Next week will be our delicious Roasted Veggie Rotini Bake which has roasted vegetables, tossed with Rotini and a tomato cream sauce. Check our web site for other upcoming specials which include Pork Tenderloin for the grill (the best pork tenderloin that you have ever tasted)!!!!
Our new HIXSON store has been so successful in its first month, and we want to THANK YOU ALL for your support as well as your notes of encouragement! We are still adjusting to our new location and trying to get our daily pars as exact as we can. We have had a couple of overproducing days and have LOTS in our freezer right now, so if you are looking for a BARGIN, check out our freezer sales at both Hixson and East Brainerd!
The winner for a Regular Size casserole of your choice for June is: BETH SNOW HALE!! Come by any Casa-Rolls location in the next couple of weeks to pick up your casserole!
Have a wonderful June, and we will check back with you in July.
