Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
I’ve lightened up these easy 7-Layer Sheet Pan Nachos by using baked tortilla chips, reduced fat cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream), and a ton of fresh veggies. This recipe is super versatile and if you prefer to use black beans or to add chicken, ground beef, extra cheese, or different veggies. I say go for it! I do recommend always serving with margaritas.

It’s comfort food time of year, people. And yet, I’m typing this up on a Monday morning with a large mug of herbal tea and a cold-pressed green juice that tastes like celery and cucumbers – two foods I’m not super fond of – but the point is, while my body really needs all the hydration and vitamin A it can get (120% in my green juice!), I’m just having all the feelings for soups and casseroles and banana bread right now.
You friends DO NOT want to see the failure that tried to be Slow-Cooker Banana Bread yesterday. It’s rubbery and just, BLEH. Slow cookers are magical for certain menu items, but bread is not one of them. Let’s leave it at that.

Mom used to make this all the time when I was little. Cold summer pizza. It’s probably a recipe that started on the side of a Pillsbury package, but I have a photocopy of a years old handwritten recipe card.

I know what you need. Because who doesn’t need this from time to time? You need a comfy-cozy food blanket to burrow into. Something that gives you the warm-fuzzies from your tummy to your toes. And I’ve got just the one.
I’d like to say that I enjoyed this dinner snuggled up on the couch watching a Meg Ryan movie and sipping warm apple cider. It would have been nice to spoon this up over a candle-lit table and a nice bottle of red wine. But no, the universe had different plans for me.
