Today's Tips:

When you are buying containers to store anything in the freezer, fridge or cabinets, always remember that square ones stack better than round ones.

Screw a cup hook close to your sink to hang your rings and watch. Make such it isn't in a spot where it could accidentally be knocked down the drain!


Today's Menu:

Mexican Cheese Casserole*
Rice
Green Beans
Fried, sugared tortilla shells*

"I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying my new copy of "Dining on a Dime!" I put off ordering it for a long time because I thought it would just be a thin book that re-hashed what was on your site, but I was certainly wrong!

It is a very thick book with lots of wonderful information, tips, recipes and quotes! It will go a long way towards helping us curb our grocery spending which, next to our mortgage, is our greatest expense!"

"Thank you so much for all that you do!"

-Dawn S.

Mexican Cheese Casserole

1/2 to 1 lb. of hamburger*
Cream of chicken soup
1 small can of tomato sauce
1 small can of green chilies, chopped
8 to 16 oz. of cheese, grated*
12 corn tortillas

Fry hamburger in pan and drain. Add soup, tomato sauce and chilies.

In a casserole dish or baking pan layer tortillas shells, meat mixture and cheese. Bake at 300° for 30-45 minutes.

*This recipe is very flexible. You can adjust the hamburger and cheese to pretty much to what you have on hand. I use cheddar cheese but you can use Monterey Jack, Mexican mix or any combination you want.



Fried, Sugar Tortilla Shells

Flour tortillas
Cinnamon and sugar, (1 tsp. cinnamon to 1/2 cup sugar)

In a frying pan add about 1/2 inch of oil. When oil is hot, fry tortillas (I either cut or tear them in to halves or quarters).

When golden brown, remove from pan and lay on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with cinnamon mixture on both sides.
