Day 288: Food Network’s Fish Sandwiches
For some reason, my husband can't wrap his mind around a fish sandwich. He eats fish tacos with no questions asked. But put the fish in bread? He's against it. I said, "What about the Fish Fillet?" (I admit, that's not the best argument in my favor, but it IS a common … [Read more...]

Day 256: Baked Ravioli
This is another meal that will make it into our regular rotation. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to prep and tastes delicious. I've had frozen ravioli before, but I always boiled them. They end up tasteless and falling apart that way. Of course, the fact that these … [Read more...]

Day 203: Cheesy Broccoli and Onion Casserole
