What do you do if there are only three tortillas, and you’re supposed to make burritos for dinner for a family? Do you run to the store? Absolutely not. When we run to the store for one item, we end up buying extras, and that can hurt your grocery budget. Instead, you whip up a simple and delicious Burrito Pie. This recipe is a creative […]
Berta’s Tuna casserole is made with simple ingredients that are assembled and baked. This recipe is courtesy of my ninety year old friend, Berta. She promised me that it had always been a favorite of her family, but I admit to being skeptical about her recommendation. Prior to making this recipe, I had never eaten a tuna casserole.

I considered calling it a pasty, but pasties are supposed to be little half round things that are crimped shut. It’s sort of a […]
Before I begin with this recipe, let me tell you that I made it with the wrong sized tortillas. I was certain that I had some 8-9″ flour tortillas, but I only had the really big ones that are made for burritos.
