Tasty Thursdays

With the days getting warmer I like to do very easy cooking, so as to not heat up the house, so for today's Tasty Thursday here's one of summer favorites, Taco Salad

1. 1 lb. ground beef or as we use, ground turkey
2. 1 can of kidney beans, drained (or any kind of bean you like)
3. 1 cup of shredded cheese, we use Cheddar
4. 1 can of pitted olives, sliced
5. 1 bag of corn chips or any favorite chip you like, we use Doritos
6. Any salad dressing you like, we use Catalina french dressing
7. 1 head of lettuce, cut up into bite size pieces
8. Brown meat, put into a LARGE bowl, add lettuce, beans, cheese, olives, break up chips into bite sized pieces and mix in well, put into bowls and add dressing. This is such a good salad, we eat it alot during the summer and I hope you will enjoy it too. P.S. I forgot the tomatoes, if you like them.

Thankful Tuesdays

Please forgive me for not posting my Meaningful Mondays, I had physical therapy for my back yesterday and by the time I was done, I was in worse pain. So here I am today with my Thankful Tuesdays post.What I'm most thankful for today, is the beautiful weather here in Arizona. It was probably close to 80 today. My son and I moved here almost a year ago from Colorado and boy am I glad to be away from the cold weather. Please feel free to share with me what you are most Thankful for. Be Blessed and have a great week.

Spring Break

Wow this has been a very busy week with Spring Break and all. We've been to Phoenix and Tucson, my son went to a spring training baseball game with his good friend, hes known since he was 4 years old and then they went to a IMAX movie, they had alot of fun. Then we had to drive to Tucson to pick up our car it had been there for a week and a half, having repairs done, so yeah, we got our car back.I hope you have had a fun Spring Break with you're children too.

Sunday Supper

1. Its been such a beautiful weekend so I just made grilled hot dogs and home aide macaroni salad, so here's the recipe I use for the salad.
2. 3 or more cups elbow macaroni ( depending how many you're feeding)
3. 2 or more eggs( my secret is, put macaroni and eggs in a pan of cold water and they cook together, Ive done this for years, it makes it easier)
4. boil till done
5. drain macaroni and peel eggs, I use a egg slicer to save time

add mayo, mustard, relish, mix well, add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy. Have a fun week all, my sons on spring break this coming week, so I will try and blog as time allows. Blessings, Debbie.

Family Fridays

As things get tighter, with gas prices and food prices going up our Family Fridays are going to be very simple, such as dinners at home and movies at home. So tonight's menu is home aide hamburgers and fries, (which we love anyways). And I do apologize for not posting very much this week, we were out of town and I found out yesterday my mom had passed out so Ive been a bit stressed, so if you would keep her in you're prayers, I would appreciate it. Have a blessed weekend all.

Were Back
