Tasty dish - kind of like a merge between a taco casserole and a quiche. I added a layer of ground round (vegetarian ground beef) with taco seasoning (like the previous reviewer) to make it a bit more hardy. The buttermilk I bought for this dish had spoiled so I subbed half and half. Turned out great. Good texture and flavor. This is something I would make again - great for a brunch dish. -
Very Easy, I did add extra cheese and 1 lb of ground turkey seasoned with taco seasoning- sorry I live in a house full of carnivores. Was delightfully flavorful and was annihilated by my family, no leftovers =( My 12 year old said " Mom, you can make this again!" Absolutely a must try for the budget conscious!!!

I remember my mom let me bake cookies by myself for the first time when I was five. I was hooked from that time.
I love to bake and cook. Trying new recipes is especially fun for me. I usually try at least two-three per week. Of course, I have a lot of favorites that we have over and over again too.
One thing that I've really gotten into recently is trying to lighten up some of my favorite recipes.
Homemade pizza is one of my specialties. My husband thinks my pancakes are the best.
