This weekend, I had my closest girlfriends over for dinner, wine consumption, and a chick flick. We watched It’s Complicated (LOVED that movie).
We had a wonderful time catching up on life and promising to spend more time together, being present in each other’s life. We also promised not to worry about the calories in the dinner…sometimes you just have to throw the best intentions to eat well out the window. And we are VERY GOOD at doing that.
I typically like to experiment on dinner with this crowd. I know that if I bomb a recipe with them, that pizza is always a close second best.
Like many of my bloggy sisters, our “go to” recipe gal has become Pioneer Woman. Last week, she posted an homage to Pastor Ryan and included a number of his recipes. I saw the pics of Mexican Lasagna and felt like I HAD TO HAVE IT IMMEDIATELY.
This dish was INCREDIBLE, but it’s not for the faint of heart. First of all, the recipe says it feeds 8. Well, I cut that sucker in half and it was like the Loaves and Fishes. I had enough Mexican Lasagna to feed an army. It was a massive dish of meaty and cheesy goodness and I would recommend it in a heartbeat!
So, ya want to know what is in it? Head on over to The Pioneer Woman and see Pastor Ryan’s incredible recipe!
AND, if you want to see some other incredible recipes, check out Tasty Tuesday at Jennifer’s site. There are countless other women (and men) in blogland who whip up incredible meals each week and share them with the class!
"Loaves and Fishes" recipes are awesome.
Thanks for recommending it to all of us.
