What's for dinner tonight?

I hate that question! and yet, you know it is coming! so everyweekend I plan to make dinners that will work for the week. Does it ever happen? Not that often, although I wish it would.

Tonight I tried a new reciepe, it was called a Quesida Cassarole (think of something like Mexican Lasagna). It was suppose to be dinner for tomorrow or Tuesday (prep today and put in the over after a workday), well that didn't happen. It smelt so good when I was cooking it actually made me hungry! So I caved in and tried it tonight instead. I actually really liked it! And lets face it, I'm picky, but it was good!

David even liked it! So here is what it is basically:
brown 1 pound of hamburger with 1/2 a cup of diced onion
add in
1 can of black beans (drained)
1 can of corn (undrained)
2 cans of 8 oz tomato sauce
spices (think taco seasoning) -- I was able to get a reciepe card and premeasured spices at the store, which is where the idea came from.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Layer meat mixture, then toritalls then cheese and repeat.

Anyway the whole meal probably took 30 minutes total! It was nice, for sure I could make after dinner another night.

So with the idea more of you out there hate the question "What's for dinner?" email me your favorite reciepe's. I mean EASY weeknight reciepes. I will try some out and post here so we can all share.

Birthday Party/Soccer Game

Today was my first soccer game, we won 6 to 3 and I scored a goal. It was really hot and everybody was really tired by the end....Daddy got really sunburned.

I also had a bowling party for my birthday this weekend. I invited friends from my class and family. I had 3 spares, but no strikes....It was really fun! I had a tied-dyed peace sign cake and got a lot of presents. Daddy even bowled two times, he was really good and it was cool!

Miss everybody, talk to y'all later. I gotta go watch the Horns beat Wyoming. Hook 'em!

Love,
Lauryn
