Inspiration and a shake up

I'm thankful for things like Pinterest and blogs because they provide some much needed inspiration when I'm feeling stuck.  So get ready!  Things are going to start popping up on here!

tortillas and Mexican lasagna

I made tortillas from scratch yesterday, but they are pretty bland.  It was just a basic flour recipe. I used it because it called for vegetable oil while many call for lard. Any suggestions of a really good recipe?  Maybe I have to use lard? I did see that item at the store the other day.  At the time I thought, "Who uses lard these days?" Apparently people who want to make tortillas. 

Today I am making Mexican lasagna with the tortillas, and I'm hoping the blandness is fine because there are so many other flavors in it.  We'll see!  Our backup dinner is salad...
