Mexican Food

Southerwestern Casserole (instead of tacos!)

I’m not one of those who enjoys following the Monday meatloaf, Taco Tuesday kind of menu, but we do have Mexican frequently. When I weary of tacos, I like to make a dish of something Mexican.

I recently came across this Southerwestern Casserole that was so scrumptious! It could be served as a casserole, or even a dip, served with scooping chips. This came together quickly, and it made a LOT. As a matter of fact, I put half in the freezer before baking. The other half serve the two of us for supper and a couple lunches! If you like Mexican flavors, you will love this casserole filled with ground turkey, veggies, and beans.

He and his brother loved them! These are simple, made up primarily of ground beef and canned biscuits.

My Lamp Addiction

It’s true – I have an addiction for lamps. It’s because of their incredible power. Aside from giving light for reading, hobbies or work, they can take a cold, dark corner and turn it into a cozy, inviting space.

When Whitney brought a rechargeable lamp to the hotel for our girl’s trip a few weeks back, it added a lovely, homey touch to our hotel room. After our trip was over, I thought about several “dark” places in my home where there is no outlet for a “real” lamp. I went looking and found a pretty copper-based one at TJ Maxx that I loved. I had so much fun when I brought it home putting it in several spots that need the coziness it could give.
