Shortcut Pizza

Shortcut Pizza

I’m not sure what I love more….the fact that this is such a quick, easy dinner  or the idea of using up veggies that need to get eaten from my fridge! Shortcut pizza is so versatile…all it takes is some tortillas, veggies, cheese and a little marinara sauce. The kids had a blast building their…

Nacho Casserole

Nacho Casserole…as in, “Nacho ordinary casserole…!” Hahaha!
