Ok, another yummy meal that you could be creative and make non-vegetarian if you desire by adding some of your favorite pizza toppings! Hope you enjoy! The whole family loved it!
1 can (4 oz.) mushroom pieces and stems, drained
1 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
3 eggs
3/4 cup Original Bisquick mix
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (4 to 6 oz.)
1) Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 10-inch pie plate with shortening (again I used Olive Oil). Sprinkle mushrooms, 2/3 cup of the onion, and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese in pie plate.
2) In blender or bowl with wire whisk or hand beater, beat milk, eggs, and Bisquick mix 15 seconds on high speed or 1 minute with whisk until smooth. Poor over vegetable mixture.
3) Bake uncovered 20 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over top. Top with remaining ingredients. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until cheese is light brown. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting!
Enjoy! This is another easy meal that everyone in the family can enjoy!

Stacked Enchilada Bake
So, before I give you guys this new awesome recipe, I just have to give one small vegetarian update that has really impressed me that I didn't realize until I went to my last OB/GYN appointment. Don't worry, this won't be too much information or anything. But, one of the major symptoms that I have dealt with in my past pregnancies has been HORRIBLE heart burn. Anyway, at my appointment, my doctor had asked me how the heartburn was, and I realized I have not even had a trace of heartburn this pregnancy! I would like to think this is linked to the vegetarian diet!
Ok, on to the good stuff. This was too good and too easy not to pass along. Once again, you could make this vegetarian or non-vegetarian.
12 corn tortillas (5 or 6 inch), torn into bite-size pieces
2 cans (15 to 16 oz. each) chili beans in sauce, undrained
1 can 10 oz. enchilada sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 oz.) Actually, I used Cheddar, and it was wonderful!
3 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
If you are making this non-vegetarian, I would recommend only one can of the beans and mix it with some browned ground beef.
1) Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 2-quart casserole with shortening (I used olive oil). Arrange half of the tortilla pieces in casserole. Top with 1 can beans (or half bean/meat mixture). Repeat layers. Pour enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle with cheese and onions.
2) Bake uncovered about 20 minutes or until bubbly around edge.
That's it, and it is really yummy!

One More Reason to Love In-N-Out!
So, I said I wouldn't be blogging anymore about my vegetarian journey, but this was just too good not to blog about! This would all have not been possible without a PBS special... I know, kind of lame, but its true.
This past Friday night Jason and I got home from a Good Friday service, and I had been working all day at cleaning, getting ready for Brendan's birthday party, and if I needed to add one more thing to the list I had decided to finally switch out our snowman sheets for normal ones on the bed. (I couldn't bring myself to celebrate Easter and still have snowmen on the bed, which most Southern Californians would already say that my snowmen have overstayed their welcome, but it is the last trace of me still being a Midwesterner since people laugh at me for keeping snowmen up past Christmas around here.) Whew, that was a digression... So, we get home from church, and I had put our pillows in the washer for while we were gone. Well, for those of you who have washed pillows, they take forever to dry! And with us being as tired as we were, I should not have taken on this project, but I was this far into it, so I was stuck. Basically we were keeping ourselves awake until 11:00 until the pillows were dry! And being as tired as we were, we resorted to PBS... the only thing we could find on television that was somewhat interesting.
Out here on PBS we have this show called California's Gold with Huell Howser. If you have never had the privilege of seeing this show, I am convinced that Huell only has a job because he knows someone, because he can be a bit over-dramatic and state the obvious waaaay too many times! But we were intrigued because it was all about In-N-Out Burger! We learned a lot about the history of In-N-Out, which was started right here in the San Gabriel Valley, and we actually have store #2 right near our house! Whoo hoo! But, one other thing we learned was the things that you can get that are not on the menu. In-N-Out's menu is very simple... They have a burger, a cheeseburger, fries, and various drinks, and that's it. No chicken, no salads, nothing special. But, apparently through the years by word of mouth there are things you can get. Today I tried the "Grilled Cheese" which is a VEGETARIAN OPTION at In-N-Out Burger! Basically you get all the In-N-Out yummyness without the burger patty. I just have to say that it was amazing!!! I seriously didn't even miss the burger patty on it! I still got the awesome sponge-dough bun, the fresh veggies, and even the sauce, with melted cheese! Who knew! I would never have known without Huell!!!
The reason I had gone to In-N-Out today is because today was Brendan's birthday. Jason and I always make it a point to take the Birthday kid out for lunch, and it is usually McDonald's, since that is such a rare treat in our house. But, today I was thinking about going to McDonald's and realized that I would have to go somewhere else to pick up my lunch, since McDonald's has NOTHING vegetarian on their menu, unless I was to piece together a bunch of "snack options." So, Brendan still got a "burbur" (what he calls burger), and I didn't have to make a bunch of different stops! Yay In-N-Out burger!
