Mexican Lasagna

I found this recipe a month or so ago on Mel'skitchencafe.com, I love her blog, I find a ton of recipes there (if you haven't noticed, I'm always linking up to her).  I should just rename my blog "Testing the recipes from Mel."

Anyway, so this looked interesting and I had all the ingredients on hand, so I thought, what the heck?  And made it a few weeks ago.  Oh, my goodness, it was so delicious!  My kids and hubby were a bit skeptical at first, but they loved it as much as I did.  We were all so glad there were tons of leftovers.  I ate it for a week and still was not sick of it.

Here you are, enjoy!

You should be able to click on the recipe and print as an 8 1/2 x 11 page.



My Kitchen Tips: Storing flour and sugar

I hate having open bags of flour and sugar all throughout my pantry.  It drives me crazy.  Plus when I go to use one of them I end up spilling all over the floor.  Drives. Me. Crazy. I tell you.

I figured out early on that those cute little canisters for my counter drove me even crazier.  They end up being too small to store a usable baking amount of flour or sugar so I ended up filling them all the time.  Or pulling out my bag in attempts to not drive myself more crazy.

My solution?

The small buckets in the painting department of Home Depot or Lowe's.  I think they were about $2.50 each and the flour bucket holds 10 lbs, plus a little extra; and my sugar holds 20 lbs (if I remember correctly).

They have made me immensely happy.  Plus, they fit in my dishwasher so I don't have to hand wash them.  *Love*
