Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

    I am quite a snob when it comes to the food world. So when I happened on your blog I was surprised to discover so many great recipes. Thanks; I am a fan!

    As a Texan, I can rightfully say that kidney beans are blasphemy in this dish! It would be so much better with pinto!!! I make a Mexican lasagna very similar to this, but use corn tortillas and put in a layer of a mixture made out of chipotle, sour cream, and a bit of mayo all blended together. It's creamy and addictive… I'll have to combine recipes 🙂

    Shelbyrlff: The chipotle and mayo combo is an addictive one and adding some sour cream could only make it better. I will have to try adding this creamy layer next time!
