Last
night I cooked ground beef and added packets of taco seasoning. I normally shy away from those seasoning
packets but they’re definitely easy and my kids love the taste. I was planning on taco salad so I fried up a bunch
of corn tortillas into chips, and laid out all the toppings. Sour cream, cheddar, avocado (59 cents for a huge one!), tomato, salsa. As it turns out, the adult children wanted
soft tacos, so they got out the flour tortillas. The little one wanted meat, diced tomato and the
homemade chips. Hubby turned his into
nachos by layering it all together and throwing it into the oven for 5
minutes. And I had taco salad. All the same type thing, but in varying forms
and everybody was happy. I also turned the prep into a 2 for 1 deal, while half the ground beef from that package was browning for the tacos I used the other half to make itty bitty meatballs, which I froze. They will be a quick, easy addition to a crockpot vegetable soup some day in the future.
Remember
the flannel robe I cut up for fabric?
Here are the pajama pants made from that, Drake slept in them last night
and said he likes them, and Mimi is nice for making them for him. What a sweet kid.
