Meal Planning with Connie

Connie's Rotel Chicken Lasagna and New York Brand Old World Ciabatta Cheese Rolls The Rotel Chicken Lasagna was a hit with my guys! It's chicken spaghetti-like, but different, too!

Y'all know, Larry was elated when they told him to put some Lawry's up on that tenderloin!!! As I've shared before, Larry loves the Lawry's!! Now that he had his r...
