Grandma's Best Ever Sour Cream Lasagna
This is my grandma's best lasagna recipe, except I use sour cream instead of ricotta (a trick I picked up from my mother-in-law). She always made it for birthdays and special occasions. This makes a large amount, so I halve it when making it for my boyfriend and myself. It's very cheesy, so sometimes I add a little extra tomato sauce.

Barb's Firecrackers
I brought Barb's firecrackers recipe to my niece's Fourth of July party. I wanted something portable, simple to make, and of course, really tasty! I love Mexican food, so this recipe, inspired by South of the border food, yet created in New England, was my go-to. Adjust the heat with hotter or milder taco seasoning.
