I thought that perhaps others might have left overs from Easter dinner and this would be a great way to use them up (this year we had pizza). Then you can use the left over ham for lunch sandwiches all week long. That would certainly save you some cash.
You'll want to start the baked mashed potatoes first.

I put chicken in it, but I the chicken was in the way. It was really filling too. I can't think of anything fun to call it, I guess moving wore out my brain as well as my body.
This is a really fast moving and quick to make meal. Using fresh broccoli really makes a difference to me.

I thought who better then to host a meatless meal then a Vegetarian.
Hi I'm Leslie From Leslie Loves Veggies
I have been a Vegetarian for almost 20 years! I love delicious veggies, fresh ingredients and SPICY food, Just ask my Hubby!

I think it is great if you keep this stuff around for a quick snack or meal anytime.
Bean and Cheese Burrito
I love to use whole wheat wraps. They make the meal more filling and healthy! For the beans you can use whatever suites you. If you have some leftover pinto beans from a pot of beans you can drain them and smash up a bit.

I am glad it did too. When my daughter was going through a waking-up phase I started putting a stuffed animal in the crib. It stayed in the crib and no big deal.

First you up a little oil in the bottom of your pot. Then you add in a diced onion and a few 3-4 leeks that are thinly sliced. Once they are cooked up nicely perhaps starting to brown a little you add the potato's and spices. I add garlic, salt pepper, red pepper and celery seed. The potatoes should be finely diced so they can cook down faster.

I was amazed when he came home and said that lights have been proven to lower crime in a area significantly. I can't remember the exact number but 30% percent comes to mind. Your probably wondering what this has to do about renting. Well actually it is a big part of choosing a home, not just an apartment.

This recipe is one of my "secrets" and it is great for munching on for an early dinner and then go back and snack later in the day. I love to make it early in the morning on a spring day and then you can go out and play worry free.
I called it "Italian Pasta Salad".

I replaced it with a small square basket that fits on her shelves. Then I put the stuffed animals somewhere else.
