Baked Pesto Chicken - Pinterest #4

I forgot to post this Pinterest recipe in April...oops!  We had Baked Pesto Chicken for dinner at the end of April and it was tasty.  It was really simple to make, easier than I expected.  It was pretty soupy so next time I would make rice or pasta to serve with it.  Bill really liked it and I'm sure I'll make it again some day!

Life Tip

Here's a Life Tip for you: Double the hamburger, onion, and green pepper mixture.  When you're making chili or taco salad (two of our favorites), the first step is to fry the hamburger with the onion and green pepper.  So, when you make one or the other, always fry twice as much!  That way, you can freeze the other half and have it ready to go for the next time you make chili or taco salad.  (I'm sure it could be used for other recipes too, these are just the two we make most.)  Doubling saves time chopping and frying (and washing dishes)!

Dog Wants Cat

Just a little video clip to make you smile today.  Our dog and cat love to chase each other and wrestle.  The cat, like most cats, also likes to sit in boxes.  The dog wants to get the cat but isn't smart enough to just jump in the box with her.  At least the dog is persistent...and cute.  Have a great day!

Easter Deviled Eggs - Pinterest #3

Here I am again at the end of the month with my Pinterest experiment.  Today is Easter Sunday so I made deviled eggs with all our dyed Easter eggs.  But, I made them special by following the instructions for these Easter Eggs.  They turned out great!  It was a little more work, but I think it was worth it.  What do you think?

Taco Casserole - Pinterest #2

For my second Pinterest experiment I made another recipe.  This time, I tried Taco Casserole.  It was good and we ate way too much of it.  If I make it again, I think I will add more tomatoes because I thought it was a little bit dry.  But, the flavors were tasty and it seemed easier than making actual tacos.
