  • The nachos and the corn salsa use a lot of the same ingredients which means easy shopping for this meal and simpler prep!
  • Breakfast casseroles make perfect breakfasts when the kids are home from school. Make breakfast once and just reheat single servings the rest of the week.
  • Got any leftover salsa? Serve it with your breakfast burritos all week long!
  • Cheesy Ranch Meat & Potatoes Casserole makes enough for leftovers.
  • And make that strawberry pie while the strawberries are in season, plentiful and oh-so delicious!
