Leftover queso dip with ground beef was great converted to a pasta casserole. All I had to add was some cooked rotini. That was Monday's supper.

Last night was very simple black beans and rice with a can of diced tomatoes.

Tonight I'm trying a new recipe for sweet & sour cabbage with Canadian bacon.
