How often does it happen to you to be standing in front of the fridge with no idea what to cook? That was me last Monday, so I went to the Marzetti Kitchens website for help. Something I like a lot on this site is that you can search by ingredient, it comes in handy when I get something at the supermarket and then I cannot think how to use it, or when I have some leftovers such as this roasted chicken that I use to replace the ham in this recipe. Also, you can search by type of dish: appetizer, dessert or even by cuisine: Mexican, Chinese, etc. The recipes are very versatile and with ingredients, you always have on hand, the photos are very tempting, and make you want to try new things. On the same site, you will also find cooking tips and suggestions based on the seasons and my favorite holiday recipes! This recipe is perfect to make ahead and bake upon arrival at the house, should rest at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. I usually serve it with salad greens or with salsa. So you know, the next time you do not know what to cook visit Marzetti Kitchens!.
