I love Texas. I love the people, the weather (usually - especially since I have been older) and the food of this state. I have to admit though, once in awhile I miss the foods that I learned to love when I was a kid in the Philadelphia suburbs. Last time we talked about pizza - this time? The cheesesteak. Seriously. There are hundreds of places around here that advertise the best Philly Cheesesteaks. I have eaten at almost every one of them and I can tell you that they may be Dallas ...

Mexican Turkey (or Chicken) Casserole
You may have noticed that normally my recipes have 57 ingredients and 82 steps. I do this because I think it makes me look authoritative and professional... And because usually I have a lot of odds and ends to use up. This is not one of those recipes. Nope. It is easy, straightforward, and so simple that your 8 year old can put it together for ya. This is one of those dishes to make when the grandkids are staying overnight and all you have in the fridge is seven Weight Watchers frozen meals ...
