Quinoa and Chickpea salad
I have a close friend who consistently prepares the best quinoa salads, but it took me some time to perfect it myself. I came up with this recipe at the start of the year, after the holiday indulgence when we yearn for something lighter! This is a delightful, light, and refreshing salad. It complements any dish perfectly. Or just enjoy it as a light lunch.

However, you can always add some Creole seasoning if you prefer! One of the great things is that you make it all in one pot! You start by sauteeing your vegetables, then add in all other ingredients and simmer! I

Mom's Baked Lasagne
I refer to this as "Mom's baked lasagne" because it's the lasagne my mom used to prepare for our family when I was a child.

A great option for dinner, especially this time of year. Everyone wants some warm comfort food! I use ground beef, and I always grate my own cheese! It's just so much better!
