Cheesy Chicken-Tortilla Lasagna
by AndiatBettyCrocker 2/21/2011 12:02:00 PM

It’s snowing (more than 15 inches of snow fell yesterday, where I live) and it’s cold outside—so what sounds good for dinner tonight? How about Cheesy Chicken-Tortilla Lasagna? Start by mixing together chopped tomatoes, cooked chicken, chopped green onions, and black beans. Next, spread 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce on bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish. Top with 8 corn tortilla halves. Spoon part of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, add some cheese and sauce (made by mixing enchilada sauce with ranch dip). Repeat layers. Here is how I plac...

Cooking for New Parents
by jillbcooks 9/16/2010 6:04:00 PM

I have a friend who just gave birth to her first little one. She has her hands full, so a few of us teamed up to fill up her refrigerator and freezer. When it comes to cooking for a new mom and dad, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Lots of Lasagna--Over 40 Recipes!
by AndiatBettyCrocker 2/3/2010 12:38:00 PM

Catering a Party Without Panicking
by jillbcooks 7/23/2009 9:59:00 AM

I sometimes like to find topics for my blog in the Betty Crocker online community. There was a delightful post from a member named chicagosinger. In her post, she describes that she is pushing her cooking skills to the maximum by catering a dinner party for twenty people! Even seasoned cooks sweat entertaining when the crowd numbers in double digits. Once upon a time, I unexpectedly catered a dinner party for 20 people—the most people I had ever cooked for at once. At the time I was co-owner of a hands-on cooking school. My clients chose a French classics menu that included: Gougeres (French Cheese Puffs), Salade des Moines (Green Salad with Cite...
