"A delicious zesty casserole that leftovers can be used at filling for tortillas or tacos. Add more chili powder or cumin to the recipe for more spice."

I try to tend a lot to their tastes (she likes traditional comfort foods and he prefers spicer fare) and I am very health concious. I am also an avid baker and run my own bakery business when I'm not at school so I am always looking for and creating new bakery recipes.
