Ya'll are so good!!!
I love to cook, but lately my energy level has been down.
With a f/t time job and two toddlers, it's hard to get ahead to make things from scratch.
I have our monthly cluster meeting tonight, so I can't wait to see what new recipes we are going to try!!! I am hoping for the spinach carbonara pizza......yum!!

Hey Lisa!
I could come to your house and teach you and your friends how to make 3 meals in under 30 minutes and package them for your freezer, so that on those days when you just don't have time or energy to make a home-cooked meal, you can pull one out, and have a delicious dinner ready in about 15 minutes!

rennea said:Good morning everyone
Having trouble deciding today. Have some ground pork sausage defrosting in the fridge. Now what to do with it...
I made this totally yummy sausage casserole the other day.
You take the sausage & brown it, then drain it on a paper towel. Saute a sliced up onion in a bit of the sausage grease til the onion is soft & tender.
Get a box of the Betty Crocker Scalloped potatoes & mix them up like the box says. Then mix in the sausage, onions & a bag of frozen corn. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Bake it in a 9 x 13 baker until it's bubbly. YUM!!
