Nice MG, I went to a BBQ place this week and my date and I split a combo plate. Their collard greens looked great but she did want them had to get a different side. Was kinda of disappointing.

Tonites Sunday dinner (from Men's Health):

Enchilada Lasagna

1/2 lb ground turkey breast
1 1/2 c reduced-fat Mexican-blend or Cheddar cheese
1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup low-fat, low-sodium cottage cheese
1/4 cup canned jalapeño peppers, diced
1/2 cup chopped scallions
2 tsp chili powder
2 cloves garlic, crushed
9 6" corn tortillas
1 cup taco sauce

1. Brown the turkey in a nonstick skillet. Let it cool, then combine it in a bowl with the cheese (reserving 1/2 c), tomatoes, cottage cheese, peppers, scallions, chili powder, and garlic, stirring well.

2. Coat an 11" x 7" baking dish with cooking spray. Place three tortillas in the dish and top with half of the turkey mixture. Layer three more tortillas, then the remaining turkey mixture. Place the last three tortillas on top, pour taco sauce over them, and sprinkle with 1/2 c cheese.

3. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Makes 4 servings

Necroed up! Hmm, never knew about this threa. Will work out the salsa recipe as well as one for my semi patented potato and cheese soup, along with any others I can think of.

My simple salsa recipe. This a more Pico de Gallo type salsa.

4 ripe Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1 small white onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped (or more to taste!)
2 -3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt
Directions:

1 Combine all ingredients; cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
2 This tastes best the same day that it's made, but is okay the next day

Quick tip. Put on a part of gloves when you de-seed the jalapenos. There is nothing worst then touching your eye an hour later and having it burn.
