Easy Pantry Meals
At this point in the Corona Virus quarantine, many of us are beginning to get downright bored by the contents of our own pantries. Most of us have run through our old standbys and probably tried some new things here and there. But at the same time, groceries are still not back in stock like they were before. Meat in particular is hit or miss at most stores. This seems like a perfect time to mix it up with some meatless meals.

Magic Breakfast Enchiladas

We love and appreciate our ministry staff at our church, Pastor Matt, Josh, Joshua, Jared and, of course, Lori, our fearless Ministry Assistant. I just realized they sound a bit like a band – Pastor Matt and the Three Js. Maybe next year we will make them t-shirts. But this year, being Southern Baptists, we are showing our love with food. I signed up to bring them a breakfast casserole for their weekly team meeting. Granted, there are many I have made before and love. But I like to try new things, so I poked around…
