Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake

Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake

Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake is one of those recipes that sounds a little crazy until you taste it. It’s hearty, comforting, ridiculously easy to make, and somehow manages to taste like chilaquiles, enchiladas, and nachos all rolled into one.

Recipes for Mother’s Day

When I started gathering recipes for Mother’s Day, there were so many I wanted to include, especially since it’s really the start of spring into summer. Doncha love that transition when fresh and fun start to happen, and we leave cold and wet behind? The meals we serve need to reflect that!

Finally, I narrowed that down to my all-time faves, just a few in each category, and tried to include recipes that might look fancy but are easy, along with some specialties.

Whether the day holds breakfast, brunch, or dinner, I hope you’ll find something to inspire you. If not, check around my site!
