Taco Casserole
I did season the ground beef with salt and pepper. I also used Ro-tel instead of the diced tomatoes. The can is smaller, so I added some salsa. I also added corn and drained and rinsed black beans. I always add lime juice, lime zest, sea salt, chopped cilantro and cumin to sour cream to make a sour cream dressing, so this was excellent on top of the servings! My 15 year old loves this! I did top with Mexiblend cheese, baked and then topped with the crushed tortillas and a little bit more cheese and baked about 8 minutes. will make it again soon!

American-Italian Pasta Salad
To die for...ok..maybe not to die for...but this is really good!! I have made it several times and use different pasta each time. I use a whole bag of petite peas. I don't add onion, due to a 14 year old....I add pepperoni, hard salami, fontina, cheddar, cherry tomatoes, you name it...you can add it...I have made it with and without the fresh parsley. No difference to my family. I like to use the zesty Italian dry mix if I can get it at the store. This is a true keeper!!!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
As with any recipe her, I always read the reviews first. I increased the flour to 1 1/2 cups, increased the baking soda to 1 tsp., decreased the salt to 1/2 tsp. since I used salted butter and decreased the vanilla to 1 tsp. I ALWAYS bake a small batch of cookies when I am making a recipe for the first time. I am glad I did. I baked 6 cookies and let them cool. I went back to the mix and added a pinch more salt, and about 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. Due to family preference, I did not add any nuts. I just tried one this morning with my coffee, the before and after cookie. I must say the after cookie has much more flavor. Texture of the cookie is great the next day. Will probably make these again with my modifications.
