I finally found an old recipe box that I have been missing for a while. It's one I started a LONG while back, it's been in packed up box for over 5 years...probably much long than that. Anyway, one recipe I had to share from it is Mexican Lasagna. I had not made it in a long time but just made it last week. I really like this recipe because unlike so many of the Mexican Lasagna recipes that are around on the web, this one uses actual lasagna noodles, not tortillas.Mexican Lasagna1 lb. lasagna

Memorial Day
Today is Memorial Day -- the unofficial start of summer. In the summer, we love to have cook-outs and BBQ's, so today is no different. On the menu today is burgers, macaroni salad, baked beans, corn-on-the-cob, and for dessert, Strawberry Shortcake -- YUMMY! We are doing this all at home, but we are leaving in a few minutes to go play at the park for a bit.I am a bit sad that we aren't with our extended family. There used to be a time that holidays like today with with lots of family. Now
