Mexican Lasagna
We just got back from vacation. Do you know that feeling of "I never want to eat fast food again?" Well, I'm there. Just eating out in general doesn't sound appetizing at all. I was glad to get home and do some home-cooking. None of our "norms" have sounded really that great though. So, I've been on...

I had had it before and I knew I liked it, but I wanted to try it out on my kids and my husband (and my hubby is weird about putting things in his Jell-O). It was licked...

Ritz Chicken Casserole
A while ago, I was in a recipe group, and this recipe was passed around. I'm not altogether sure who was the contributor, but whoever you are--THANK YOU. I've made it a couple of times now, and my kids and hubby yum it down (even my SUPER-PICKY eater). It's a great way to use up some left-overs (chicken and rice)...it's easy to make, quick, yummy, and the ingredients are in your pantry!
