Taco Chip Salad: Recipe


So, busy mom and if you know, I really don’t like to cook. Baking I love but not really cooking. So after hours on Pinterest and looking at what I possibly would eat, I kind of gave up. Took a few dishes and pretty much created something between them all. Quick and easy to make in a crock pot.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pouch of taco seasoning 
  • 16 oz mild salsa
  • 1 Bell pepper chopped (I use red)
  • 1 can of corn 
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bag of Frito's
  •  Toppings of your choice!
    • Shredded lettuce
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 2.25 oz sliced olives 
    • 3 chopped green onions
Directions
  1. Brown the ground beef., drain the grease. Mix in taco seasoning
  2. Add cooked ground beef, chopped bell pepper, can of corn (drained), salsa and water into the crock pot. 
  3. Cook on low for 5-6 hours OR high for 2-3 hours
  4. Prepare the toppings! Shred lettuce, chop green onions, drain olives
  5. Turn off crock pot and stir in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese 
  6. Place Frito's at the bottom of a bowl, then the ground beef mixture followed by the toppings of your choice.
  7. Enjoy! (Post a picture if you have tried it!)

Rosella's Pregnancy

I always knew I wanted another baby. I have always wanted one boy and one girl. Eighteen months apart, a boy first. It was how I always pictured my future. So after the issues getting pregnant with Logan, I decided to try something more natural. So I took supplements that helped regulate women's hormones, which was what I needed. I know I did not go into details but it took us about 18 months to get pregnant with Logan after taking progesterone pills for 6 months. So back to this pregnancy, I decided natural supplements , with ovulation predictor kits and temping. Unlike with Logan, Rosella's pregnancy was more "planned" if you will. I was trying what I could to get pregnant without seeing my doctor. I knew exactly when my body would ovulate based on the tests and my temperature. So when I was 12 days past ovulation (DPO) , I took a pregnancy test... lets be honest I started like 8 days (which it usually takes 6-12 days to begin producing HCG if you are pregnant

DIY Baby Food

I always thought about making my own baby food with Logan but it never happened. Then after Rosella was born, I decided to give it a try. We have a local farmers market and I had a week off when she started on solids.  The jars I have used are each 4oz. For less than $20.00, I picked up all this fresh fruits and veggies! A while back I purchased the Kindle version of  this book  to help direct me on my baby food making journey. Between the book and common knowledge I begun to create a bunch of different recipes. I add all the different recipes in here to the blog every so often so just look out for them or search for them.
