Mexican lasagna incorporates classic Mexican flavors with a unique layered composition that will liven up even the dreariest of Thursdays.

Almost everyone loves pizza. This pizza recipe uses a thick batter topped with sausage as a crust, and then goes back into the oven for the remaining pizza toppings to cook, and for the cheese to melt.
You can change up the toppings to suit your family’s preferences. I make this dish often, though I substitute canned spaghetti sauce for the pizza sauce in the recipe. It is perfect for a fun Friday night meal.
This flavorful twist on a classic chicken Alfredo uses Cajun spices to give this pasta dish a little kick. Never buy store-bought Alfredo sauce again! This recipe is so simple, and you can omit the Cajun seasoning and add in your favorite seasoning mix to make it your own.
If you love lazy Sundays, you’ll love this rotisserie-style chicken that is prepared in a slow cooker. You toss this chicken in the slow cooker and leave it to cook for four to five hours on high.
It is both tender and juicy, making it seem like the fancy, labor-intensive Sunday chicken your mother use to make. Serve it with roasted veggies.
