You can add and subtract ingredients based on your own preferences and dietary needs. You could also arrange the ingredients separately on the table and allow your family to make their own salad via a homemade salad bar.
Mexican Cornbread Pie
Using your favorite cornbread mix and several other ingredients you probably already have on hand, you can throw together this warm, hearty bake that is the perfect comfort food after a long day.

This is a great one if you don’t want to go shopping and want to use items you keep on hand all the time.

This one is awesome if you have a large family if picky eaters. Almost everyone loves the Italian flavors in Stromboli and this gives you the flavor, without the mess.Using refrigerated pizza dough makes this Easy Stromboli recipe a quicker alternative to the standard homemade crust version.
