For a cheaper alternative, my mom would make this pie with a box of chocolate pudding instead of the multiple big bars of chocolate. She also used dream whip. For those that don't know, it is a dry mix that you might find in the baking aisle
Hi Lisa, yes, a cheaper version could be made with chocolate pudding but it wouldn't taste like a Hershey bar. I couldn't believe the flavor. Cheers, Colleen
Hi Colleen! I absolutely howled when you said not every night can be roast beef and mashed potatoes! I will definately use that line. Another great idea for a video. I will give this one a try ......Colleen approved!! 😊 Thanks for sharing and spreading some joy!
Love your fresh approach to new recipes and love watching you make them can’t wait to try them keep the recipes and videos coming I use to live in Canada providence of Ontario in Campbell ford where to Trent and crow river meet about 12miles on the Queens highway our family use to go down to the locks and watch them open for the ships beautiful place loved Canada people laugh at me when I tell them when you go to the grocery store…one side in French other side in English now live in Pennsylvania at the Mason Dixon line that is the line that separates Pennsylvania and Maryland all county and farming we now live on a small mini farm enjoy you talking about your town and your family God bless you and your family and have a wonderful day
The recipes looked wonderful they sound wonderful I can't wait to try them but I will tell you I believe the ranch seasoning might be the salty flavor you're getting because I know ranch seasoning can be a little salty❤❤❤
Hello Theodore, you know what, I think you might be right. I should have used my homemade ranch dressing. I controlled the salt there. Thank you, Colleen
Colleen, you look so pretty in that top. You also have gorgeous hair. Would you consider growing it out and wearing it down? I wish I had hair as thick as yours. You’re so lucky to have hair like yours. Thanks for the delicious recipes, I want to try both. Hope you are taking care of yourself and not pressuring yourself to make videos.
Hi Colleen. I’m always excited to see there is a video from Our Silver Moments waiting to be watched! These two recipes look wonderful. I think my picky husband may even like the casserole! Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words. My husband is not at all picky really, as long as I don't try to feed him lettuce. lol. We enjoyed these recipes for sure. Best wishes, Colleen
½ CHOCOLATE Bar. Make chocolate shavings with knife for top of pie. Size of bars Oz/gm would helps since everything is downsized these days with double the price. Cheese, sauce, bacon all have high sodium. Try non cured bacon if your store has it. Chicken perogies sounds good. 😊
Hi Colleen, yum these recipes look good. I bet the extra salt is from the ranch dressing…..maybe. I make something like this using my canned chicken, Alfredo sauce, bacon but use pasta. I don’t find it at all salty. So I suspect it’s the ranch dressing. The pie looks good too. We live so far from a grocery store, I should really stock a few of these items to have on hand for quick meals. Thanks so much cheers 🇨🇦🌷
Hello Lyn, I agree with you. In hind sight I should have used my own ranch dressing to control the salt. It is nice to have quick things that we can put together on the days when we are super busy. Cheers, Colleen
Hello Bridget, As I answer this we are having a beautiful full sun day here as well and I've just come in from watering my little garden. I hope you have the chance to try these recipes. Cheers, Colleen
Hello JoAnn, I found it a little salty and it was suggested by another viewer that the salt may be coming in the ranch dressing. Next time I will use my homemade ranch dressing because I can control the salt there. Otherwise it was good. Cheers, Colleen
Love how real and honest you are! Yes, I would use jar Alfredo and packaged bacon! I would also use a Sam’s rotisserie chicken, I think theirs is wonderful. Love all your recipes. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and time with us. I have made your bread machine recipes multiple times and they are definitely delicious and no fail. Have a wonderful day and please keep sharing.
When you said it was too salty , I am remembering you saying of halving the recipe and when it came to the seasonings you read and put in the amount of the full recipe which was the full packet of the seasoning.....I noticed it as you did it. plus you said you did the chicken in the insta-pot with paprika seasoning, more salt. thank you for the recipe and will try it
OMG both of these recipes look wonderful and I love salt so this would be the perfect casserole for me! 👍 And let me not forget to tell you how absolutely gorgeous you're looking Colleen!! 😉 It's always a pleasure seeing a beautiful woman making delicious recipes!! Thanks for sharing and as always looking forward to the next video 👍😉
If you like salt then you would enjoy this recipe for sure. I think the salt is in the packaged ranch dressing and I should have used my own dressing because I can control the salt there. As always thank you for your kind works and being so supportive. Take care, Colleen
I will have to buy tortellini. Perogies are sold online and in bulk at our Walmart. Just hubby and me so that is not going to happen. I will let you know how mine turn out when I make this recipe.
Thank you for your video. I don't know what you paid for those 100 gram Chocolate bars but last month they went on sale at our local Dollar Store for fifty cents a bar and I only had about $35 and change in my pocket so I blew it all and ended up with over 15lbs of nice Milk Chocolate. The stuff freezes great BTW. Well, that's interesting. I'd love to try that, BUT! The Old Folks are kinda fussy when it comes to new foods. And poor Mum with her All-The-Timers, ... is getting fussier and fussier every day it seems. She's taken to pushing the meat around her plate and leaving a small pile of it when she's finished. Oh well, the dog doesn't mind that's for sure. I still have to fight to serve Rice with a meal. (Bleeping) boiled to death Mashed Potatoes is all that is on demand. I try to mix that up with Baked Potato, Home Fries, and French Fries, ... and even then, .... I get tired of Potatoes all the time. God help me if I try to serve Pasta more than twice a month. You'd think I was trying to kill the fussy eaters. And it doesn't seem to matter how GREAT the lasagna turns out either. I've truly given up caring by times and that's sad eh? You know, sometimes I'm just lazy, .. I've worked hard and deserve a break, and I'm totally fine with it, but "others" may not be. It sucks to be them. OK, enough whining! My claim to fame is, I processed 60 pints of Bar Clams last week. I bought one crate at a time and it takes me two days to process the one crate and it almost wore me out. One day to shuck and clean the meat and the next day to Blanche, pack jars, add he blanch water and process in the canner. I was so sore the first day I couldn't get to sleep. You know you're old when it hurts to roll over. True story. I made a pot of Clam Chowder yesterday from these canned Clams as a "tester" and I'm quite pleased with the results. Then I went out to the rhubarb patch and picked enough to make 12 pints of Rhubarb/Strawberry Jam with the frozen Berries from last year. Yum, yum. I still have frozen Blueberries I have to make some Jam with too. More Yum, yums. But the price of sugar! I found the wholesalers has 20kg bags for $37.07, .. hardly a great price but they have lots of sugar so I'm buying while I still can. Hard to believe I used to pay $12.70 "on sale" for the same 20kg only a couple of years ago. I can only advise to get it while you can because there will be shortages and it will become so expensive it becomes unobtainable. I expect food to be rationed again in the near future too. I'm only getting another 200lb. I watching a world in the middle of a Global Drought, ... that no one is talking about. It's under reported to the detriment of all. I guess the "Powers That Be" wouldn't want the people to get upset over the thought of a Global Famine. Three of the four Horsemen are here and we await the last Horseman called Death. It ain't going to be pretty that's for sure. Same with the Rice, 20kg for $41.18, ... I'm picking up another 200lb of that too. Stored properly and the stuff lasts for twenty years and I store it properly. The price of dried Beans and Green Lentils has gone through the roof as well. A 10kg bag of either one will set me back $35, ... Damn the price, FULL PREP AHEAD! Good luck Colleen, we'll all need some luck now.
Oh my goodness, you have been busy and from the sounds of it you deserve to take a break now and then. One of the things that I found out when I was volunteering in an assisted living facility was that as we age our eyesight, hearing and memory are not the only things to go. So do our tastebuds. Residents who were transitioning into assisted living had been using more and more salt at home in order to heighten the flavors of the foods they were familiar with but once they become residents salt is restricted. It sounds like you are getting your food supply stocked up and I applaud that. We all need to do what we can to be more food secure. Take care, Colleen
@@oursilvermoments6028 Thank you, .. Mum is easy to cook for but complaints from the Old Man about the lack of salt in the food is tiring. Meanwhile, he'll turn a slice of toast white with salt before smacking the lips. When cooking, I use a minimum amount of salt in the veggies and none in the Potato until it gets mashed. I only use a half a tsp of salt in my canned pint products unless I'm adding a tsp of Onion Soup mix as a seasoning the I use none. There's lots of salt in the soup mix. I really like my Carrots and Green Beans done this way with the soup mix, so I do them that way of course. I've been making this dreamy "wish list" for months now, years really, and yesterday I filled it as best I could at the wholesalers. I'm getting so good at this prepping thang, that the goal of 200 lb of Rice I just made was hit so fast, .. I'm still wondering what happened. Local stores have 2lb of assorted Pasta's on sale for $1.50. There's another 20lb easy, and only $30.00. The Wholesaler wants $40.00. AND! I put 32 chicken eggs into the incubator tonight, ... I must replenish the flock. My 20 meat chicks are out on the porch in a cardboard "brooder" I made and this evening I switched the 60 watt bulb for a 100 watt because it's so cold out there tonight. Threw in a bunch of fluffy sawdust and shavings too. God they grow fast. They will be in their own coop in five days I bet you. They are forecasting more cold for tomorrow too. My last prep will be the Bulk Barn for their dehydrated veggie melody and their Mac and Cheese Sauce powder made with real cheese too. I stash that stuff away in pint mason jars with oxygen absorbers. I really like Cheesy Pasta. Enough of my drivel, have a great one!

🎉looks very good thanks😊
Hello, I think I figured out where the salt was coming from. I don't think you halved the ranch dressing. Should it have been 1 17:04 Tablespoon?
Hi Colleen! I absolutely howled when you said not every night can be roast beef and mashed potatoes! I will definately use that line. Another great idea for a video. I will give this one a try ......Colleen approved!! 😊 Thanks for sharing and spreading some joy!
Awe, thank you Terri, I am a happy person and love to spread the joy. Cheers, Colleen

Hello Theodore, you know what, I think you might be right. I should have used my homemade ranch dressing. I controlled the salt there. Thank you, Colleen
I think I would cut out the ranch dressing and sauté an onion and add an herb or herbs of your choice.
This casserole looks great...I'm going to add frozen peas to get my veggie in....love your blouse Colleen...really cute
The addition of the peas would be great! Thank you! Right after I did the video ruined this top with bleach. 😒

Salt isn't a problem for me, so I know I'd just love this recipe. Thanks
I think the salt may have come from the ranch dressing and will be using a reduced salt package next time I make this. Cheers, Colleen

I love new recipes I do so with apprehensive
I am always cautious of new recipes and skeptical too!
Thank you Colleen, your recipes always look so good. I enjoy your channel ❤
You are so welcome, thank you for watching and commenting!
Looks yummy! I was thinking the same as the lady using pudding mix. As a diabetic sugar free Chocolate pie sounds great!
Always enjoy your videos.😊
Thank you Mary, and thank you for continuing to watch week to week. Best wishes, Colleen
Colleen that looks delicious and the pie does too!
Thank you Wendy!
Good ones again Colleen. I even have most of the ingredients on hand. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with you Colleen - looks delicious & I’m sure it smells wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

Hi from Florida 😊 I've been watching a lot of your videos and I Decided to Subscribe, I love your Recipes!
I made this for dinner tonight. This dish was fantastic! Thank you for sharing. New subscriber...I can't wait to try your other recipes. 🙂

Going to try both recipes, looks awesome
Thank you Laurie, it was surprisingly good!
Looks delicious Colleen thanks fir showing me your recipes ❤😊
That looks great. 👍
Thanks Colleen! Im making that one!
Hope you like it!
So very seldom see recipes that contain no tomato’s (which I’m allergic to) so I’m trying this one as soon as I can get me some pieroge!
Definitely a keeper! 😍
Thank you! Love your channel. 💜
Thank you Denise!
When I use chocolate pudding mix I add a heaping tablespoon of cocoa powder. The pudding is plenty sweet to compensate
I will have to buy tortellini. Perogies are sold online and in bulk at our Walmart. Just hubby and me so that is not going to happen. I will let you know how mine turn out when I make this recipe.
Sounds great Jessie, please let me know. Cheers, Colleen
I have a Bisquick cookbook there are a lot of these impossible pies. My favorite is impossible Taco pie.
I was wondering if you know how to make sweet buns. My mother always made them for Christmas. Thank you.
Hi Wendy, are you talking about a panettone? If so I've made a video about panettone in the bread machine, and well as cinnamon buns.
WhAt filling in the perogies. MK
Your know what I want to see I'm patient

Can we please get together
Oops! The title of this video is pierogi cassarole
Try cooking your own bacon maybe it won't be too salty?
