Today for ground beef Thursday I have a very good, yet very inexpensive and family friendly meal for you.

Over the years I have made quite a few layered tortilla casseroles or Mexican lasagna type meals, but this recipe today is one of my favorites.

I often do not follow an exact recipe when making a layered tortilla casserole, because I just use whatever Mexican type food I have leftover or in the pantry, but for this dish today I use an exact recipe.

And I use a recipe because I find that it turns out better when I do. My family enjoys this recipe more than any of the others that I just throw together with what I have on hand.

What I love about this recipe though is that it is still basic and simple to make. This is a recipe, but it is quick and easy and contains everyday ingredients.

Menu Plan {January 22nd-28th}

January 22, 2012

Last week’s menu plan did not go as planned. We actually had a quieter and slower than normal week, which is why I think the plan did not go as planned. I was at home most days and had plenty of time for cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, so on several days I ignored the plan [...]

Cooking With Lentils {Ask the Readers}

January 21, 2012

I recently received this question in an email from Jennie. Do you cook with lentils very much?

Are fried apples a dessert, a side dish, a delicious breakfast treat, or all three? I will admit that we have used them for all three. What do you think? [...]
