Really simple instructions:Brown some ground beef & onions. Drain. Add some taco seasoning if you have some. (I didn’t this time, so I just added a bit of spicy salsa right to ... Read More »
This is a dish that I first made last week for a new mom. We’ve typically made this recipe, but it tastes best with sausage in it – and my friend only eats chicken. So, I did a bit of searching on Pinterest, and found this very appealing recipe. It went over really well, so I decided to make it ... Read More »

So along with supper tonight, we’re having this crusty bread that I posted last year. It is so easy to make, takes only 3 ingredients – flour, salt and ... Read More »

Last week sort of knocked me flat on my back, and I didn’t even have kids heading to school. I did, on the other hand, start babysitting – and had 2 long (7:30-5:30) days of 5 kids under 5. Between recovering from the Long Weekend’s antics, babysitting, and trying to get my house in some sort of respectable shape (I ... Read More »
