I got this recipe from my Mother-in-law, and it is SO GOOD! Thanks Nana!

FYI, we use Fiesta's Enchilada Seasoning... so GOOD! I use less oil than the package calls for, and that is what the 1/4 cup veggie oil in the recipe is for.

Tuna Twist Casserole

Tuna noodle casserole was always a dish I looked forward to as a kid. These days I make many variations on this classic, but this recipe is one my favorites.

Or, serve over these fabulous mashed potatoes.

I love mixing these two dishes together in a bowl. It may not look very fancy, but it tastes oh so good!

Amy ~ The Granola and Grits Girl

I'm a thirty something momma raised in the Pacific Northwest, and am currently living in the Mid-Atlantic area. I grew up eating dishes that I would categorize as classic home cooking... good hearty and healthy food that, for the most part, was mild (NOT bland) and oh so tasty.

When I met my husband, who grew up mostly in the South, he introduced me, and my taste buds, to a whole new world of food. The ingredients, spices, and methods were all foreign to me, but, due to my hubby's phenomenal cooking skills, I've learned how to create some of these fantastic flavors.

I started this blog to share our favorite recipes, to experiment with some new ones, and to discuss other recipes that I find on the web. I try to cook as healthfully as I can, and when ever possible I substitute certain ingredients for ones lower in fat, sugar, and sodium(mayo for low-fat mayo, etc). I don't always annotate these changes on my recipes, but you can guarantee that I am switching things out when I can.

So, thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find some new ideas and recipes to try. If you get a chance be sure to check out my other blogs... Memoirs of a Mommy (my daily life blog) and Silver Skies (my photo blog.)
