My secret recipe book (Taco Soup)

Hey yall!

I would love to let you in on my tried and true recipes.

I know how hard it is to make something special for someone. And you go on pinterest or wherever and you think to yourself, "Wow, this meal looks amazing!!!!" But it has way too many ingredients or it might not turn out the way the person describes. How do you know? maybe they are just really skilled food photographers, or have terrible taste in food (the people I hate the most in this world).

I have a lot of friends who come to me when they are throwing a party, making a romantic meal for their boyfriend/husband, or even just new ideas to spice up your weekly menu. Some of these people claim they are TERRIBLE cooks. Like the kind that has burnt boiling water before. Which I will never understand to this day. Anyway, they can follow and accomplish these recipes and so do you.

I will admit, I did not come up with all of these recipes. I have gathered them over the years from Pinterest, friends, my mom (the BEST cook in the world), and random places here and there. I am just compiling a few of my favorites for you, because I have made them OVER and OVER. So you know they are good and easy to make.

Anyway, let's get started. I am going to begin with one of my mom's recipes. I make this all the time and my husband LOVES it!

Taco Soup:

I love this recipe I have because it's a text message from my mom. How precious. And because can goods are so cheap, but this is the most delicious and easiest weeknight meal (or group event meal) ever.

1 pound hamburger (or I like to use turkey if I am feeling healthy)

1 chopped onion (brown and drain both)

1 package of ranch dressing mix

1 package of taco mix

1 can rotel

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can chili beans

1 can ranch style beans

1 can golden hominy

1 can water

Brown and drain the meat and onions and add all the ingredients to a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil and let simmer for at least 30 minutes.

Serve with tostito chips, cheese, and sour cream. YUMMMM!

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 92-100)

Okay, So I have a couple extra days in this post, but it's the last post!!!!! 100 DAYS!!!!! I am the coolest! Leading off with #DAY92 with my all time favorite motivational quote! It's seriously amazing, and online it has an extra part, but I didn't think that was appropriate for social media.... For #DAY93 I was sitting around knowing I wanted to do some block letters, but couldn't think of anything to write. Then my hubbers walked in the door and here it is. It was a quick doodle, but he really liked it. So, it's a keeper. Now #DAY94 I made this amazing WHOLE30 approved gumbo with cauliflower rice!!!! It was so amazing, very spicy, but will eat again after the diet..... probably with real rice, but that's okay. PS, don't you just love my parsley garnish??? So artsy. Hahahaha! Recipe here And this is #DAY95. I only have 5 days left.... this is insane. I'm sure all my family and friends are happy it's almost over... Anyway, I p...

Reasons My Online Recipes Look The Way They Do.

So, I read this article the other day by Buzzfeed. I know everything is by them, but hear me out. It was talking about why online recipes are literally the worst. And I saw myself cracking up at every point. Here is the article Right!?!?! It's so true, but the one that hit me the most was when bloggers tell you their entire life stories and then they finally give the recipe at the end. I see myself going on Pinterest and just scrolling to the bottom every time. I read them sometimes, once I've picked a recipe. They are somewhat useful. Sometimes they'll throw in little cooking tricks that if you didn't use on this recipe it would be terrible. Anyway, so I have decided I am just going to post delicious recipes and pictures of delicious food. Maybe a 'I LOVE CHEESE' or something short here and there, but I want my posts to be all about the recipe! How do I make it and what do I need! I am also a huge component for as little ingredients as p...

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 85-91)

We are almost done with this 100 Day Challenge. How crazy is that? Who knew I could do anything for 100 Days?!?! #DAY85 I had some trouble with my T.... I couldn't get it perfect.... so I sent out a picture of both sides of Practice.... Quite embarrassing, but that's why we practice. BECAUSE I'M NOT PERFECT! Don't know why I yelled back there, I apologize. Ok, so #DAY86 I was really feeling the WHOLE30 cravings...... So, I chose this cute little quote to get me through. #DAY87, I had more leftover pork. You remember the nachos? Well, I had made a huge shoulder earlier in the week and still had some leftover. So, my husband came up with pork green chili. YUMMM!!! So, I scoured pinterest for a Whole30 compliant version and I found one that came pretty close, but it had white beans. It said I could leave the beans out, but I just couldn't. And I'm glad I didn't! They made the dish. Anyway, I will write up a recipe for it here . #DAY88 I d...
