Tasty Tuesday

Today's recipe is so easy that everyone might already know this one.  You may in fact turn your nose up at it and say "come'on Tasha, why don't you just tell us how to make a frozen pizza?"  I debated whether or not to throw this one out there because it is embarrassingly easy.  One of the very first things I learned how to make. Before I met Chad, I really did not cook at all.  In fact, I lived with three other girls who witnessed me live with them for a year and probably not use the kitchen ever....other than to maybe see what they were eating or to pour myself a bowl of cereal.  While in Bloomington, IL, I ate either Panera or Lucca Grill (love that place) almost every night!

When I did start to cook, once I was with Chad, I remember calling my past roommates practically in tears from the grocery store.  I was completely overwhelmed and asking them what I should make for dinner.  Now I can breeze through shopping and load up a cart with a toddler during toilet-training, but that's another story.

Anyways, I decided to go ahead and post it because maybe someone reading this is doing the same thing I once was.  Maybe they are in a different stage of their life and that is working for them, but they could use a recipe.  It could be a possibility too that someone really great in the kitchen just needs another easy go-to meal.  So here it is....the beloved pizza casserole recipe.
