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!

More recipes are coming!

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 8-14)

Hey Guys, I'm back- and trying to be even more creative than ever. I love hand lettering, and obviously it is what I think I am good at. But I am determined to be more "creative" in my creativity choices. So, for Day 8 I chose to learn to crochet. Sounds easier said than done, right? Well, you are correct. I was quite terrible. I first started with the chain, pretty easy. A little awkward at first, but then relatively easy. Then I had to move to the next level, that's when it got a little sloppy. But then I ended going up another 4 levels and it got better and better each time. Now I just need to learn something other than a single or double stitch.... What do you think of my #DAY8 ? Alright, moving on to Day 9. I thought I would mix my creativity up a little and make some delicious dessert. When it comes to desserts I usually stick with cookies, brownies, and ice cream. That's usually where I stay, and I enjoy it there- don't get me w...

I Will Conquer Mount Sanitas

Hello! I have recently wanted to start hiking more. First, because the mountains call my name every morning and Second, because I have some free time right now... and Third, I am trying to get into better shape. My ultimate goal is to make it the entire Mount Sanitas Loop, which isn't hard for some people, but let me tell you... it's hard if you are a terrible breather and in the worst shape of your life #me. So, I set out to conquer it. And not only to just finish it, but to do it easily. I want this to still be a workout, but an easy workout.... if that makes sense. Anyway, Day One I went out and didn't quite make it to the top. I am a wuss. I have really bad knees from playing softball in college, and I just made a lot of excuses, let's be honest. But even just going half way or however far I got (no clue) was worth it. It stirred a passion in me to go to the mountains as often as I can. Hopefully you can see why in these pictures. I attempted to tak...
