Pantry Burritos

Photobucket

This "recipe" is one of Aaron's most favorite dishes I make... I think it is pretty tasty myself, but he is obsessed. I can spend hours preparing one of the finest Julia Child french dishes and he definitely approves, but the night I literally "threw" this dish together he was ranting and raving... he is almost too easy to please.

I came up with these simple burritos when my pantry was barren and I needed to get supper on the table in a hurry and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious they turned out!

Here is the recipe: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown 1 lb. of ground chuck and drain the fat. Sprinkle one packet of taco seasoning mix over the meat and pour in one can of diced tomatoes. {Adding a handful of chopped fresh cilantro would be delicious in here too.} Let the meat mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. Next, fill each flour tortilla with the mixture, roll it up and place them seam side down in a baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese {pepper jack would be good too} over the top and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

I have found the grocery store version of that to-die-for white queso dip that you can find in our southern mexican restaurants and it is delicious poured over these too... I just couldn't help myself.

And a side of salad greens with avocado vinaigrette was a perfect pairing but rice and beans would be great too.

I think it's a pretty good dish, but maybe you will LOVE it like Aaron does!

Weekend in the Bay

Hey there!

Photobucket

Guess who we went to see this weekend... 

Photobucket

On Saturday, there was a "kiddie" Mardi Gras parade in Bay St. Louis...

You talk about one of the cutest things you've ever seen... each child had their own decorated "float"! If they were old enough, they threw beads and candy while the crowd lined the streets.

... and part of the route goes by the nursing home!

Tucker didn't exactly know what to think of it all, but he did so good chewing on in his little float. He had a big day.

During the evenings, we hung out at Emily's parents house and ate some delicious seafood...

Watch and See


Can you believe he did that?? I compared it to jumping over a petite person's head! He's been working out really hard and obviously it's doing him some good. Ha!

And last but not least, I got so tickled the other night over Belle that I had to video this. 


She's cute and she sure does know it.

Happy Friday readers!!
