Brett turned 30 this past weekend (!) and to celebrate I made one of his favorite recipes – a wild rice casserole with sausage, bacon and of course, wild rice. It was delicious! Definitely not as good as his grandma makes but I’m getting better 🙂

I ended up making a double batch so I had leftovers for lunches all week. It was all well-and-good until Sunday morning. We were getting ready for the Vikings game and about ready to head out. I went to the fridge to fill up my water bottle and as soon as I opened the door, the entire pan of hot dish came crashing to the ground and my entire week’s worth of meals went flying in every direction.

After frantically cleaning everything so we wouldn’t be late, I decided to try for round two when we got home that night. Since we didn’t have all the original ingredients, I added a little twist to the recipe and this gluten free chicken wild rice hot dish was born.
