Taco Soup for Dinner

This Taco Soup is a fast meal on a cold night. Perfect before you must rush back out after work to take the kids to practice. Super fast and Super easy. Enjoy!

Taco Soup

1/2 pound ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can Rotel
1 can tomato sauce
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet Ranch Dressing mix
1 can corn
2 cans pinto beans
1 can water

Brown the meat with onions then add everything else. Perfect with cornbread.

**as a side note: you can substitute just about anything in here. If you prefer turkey over beef, go for it. If you don't do spicy add 2 cans tomatoes and leave out the Rotel. If you like black beans instead of pinto beans, knock your socks off. Cooking should be fun, not stressful.

Enjoy, kittens!

Snow Again!

It snowed again over the weekend while I was at a conference and then I had the top down on my car Monday and Tuesday. Crazy Texas weather!

I love Marshalls

Hey Kittens- look what mama Kitty found. Goodies.


Found this fab glass jar with brass spigot. 2 1/2 gallons on clearance for $15 bucks. What a deal. But wait, there's more. I have seen the porcelain orbs with letters and numbers and they were Super 'Spensive! But, guess what I found at Marshalls?


Guess how much?



For 24 in a box so I picked up the last 2 they had.



They look awesome! Can you believe it! 48 for $10 bucks!

Whew! We Dodged A Weather Bullet. Today...

The local weathermen and women were predicting maybe, possibly, could get 1 to 2 inches of snow last night. Awoke this morning to nothing, nada, zip. Thank goodness. I know the kids love it and wish so hard the night before for snow days ,but, those make-up days in May will really be killers for them. So, Pete, David, Jennifer, Ron and Rebecca, so glad you were wrong. Today.
