Broccoli & Rice Casserole

A weekend weather forecast of cold and rainy weather means cleaning my apartment, doing laundry, and other indoor activities, only venturing out to run necessary errands.  This weekend I decided that I should attempt to take on my overflowing closet and pack up some clothes I haven't worn since I moved to Chicago (2.5 years ago) to donate to Goodwill.  In addition to this pre-winter "nesting" activity I had an urge to go through the millions of recipes I have clipped out of my cooking magazines and find some yummy comfort food...and what doesn't say comfort food like a casserole!?!
