We are having a bunch of friends over for Tacos - I'm making ground beef and chicken fillings, and salad chopper salsa....and using some of my precious Guacamole mix to make Guacamole. Also making refried beans and Mexican Rice - and a Flan for dessert!

Make this casserole and serve it with Italian marinated chicken. (marinate the chicken in Italian dressing and either grill, bake, or broil.)

INGREDIENTS
4 zucchini, cubed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill weed
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup grated Romano cheese

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Place zucchini in a pot fitted with a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam 5 minutes, or until tender but firm. Transfer to the casserole dish. Mix the dill, pepper, and margarine, and stir into the casserole dish, evenly coating zucchini. Layer tomato slices over zucchini, and sprinkle with basil and Romano cheese.
Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and golden brown.
 
Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Turnip Mashed Potatoes and Winter greens
 
We're having Spinach, Mushroom and Cheese quiche from the Stoneware Sensations cookbook. Had the Ham, Broccoli and cheese one last night, it was so good and easy, I decided to make another one :) We will have some muffins with it.
 
I'm going to try the new Mexican Lasagna in the DCB.

The Spicy Broccoli Quiche in 29 Minutes To Dinner is really good too!
 
Barbecue chicken. I might try the smoky BBQ rub for the first time, it smells SO good, baked beans (which are actually turning out OK!), and probably broccoli. I got some really nice fresh baby french loaves yesterday, we'll warm up and use what's left.

Thanks Becky! This sounds so good!
 
Lasagna, salad, and garlic bites.
 
Fajitas in the DCB
 
Fake-adillas: I just layer taco meat, salsa, and cheese between two burrito wraps and bake. I'll serve a salad with it.
 
Maple Burbon Salmon form the new 29 minutes cookbook.
 
boneless ribs with BBQ sause, broccoli and egg noodles, I made brownies the other days so maybe brownie sundeas for dessert.
