Tonight we are having leftovers of this recipe. It is a new one I tried on Sunday as part of my new year's resolutions to (1) do a better job of meal planning each week and (2) stay within our grocery budget. So far, so good. I used mozzarella cheese this time, but I think I will use cheddar or Colby jack cheese next time to give it a little more pizazz.
Claire ate this stuff up, which is also another new year's resolution: Claire will eat what we eat for dinner. I am not a short-order cook. She can eat her hot dogs, chicken nuggets and fish sticks for lunch, but for dinner, she is eating what we eat or she is not eating at all. She has been very good about at least trying one bite of something before she completely refuses to eat it. I think she liked this so much because of the green peas, which is a favorite at our house.

Have I mentioned how much I love Wednesdays partially b/c of these posts? We are working really hard on eating at home more and eating leftovers...but we really enjoy eating out so it's hard. But so far, so good. My "toy" from my parents for Christmas was a food vac which I am LOVING - talk about helping the budget. 10# of ground beef at Sams that I can divide up and vacuum seal...serious fun! :)
