For the cooking impaired!

Okay Girls, I am not one for sharing recipes, because well...my husband would be happy with a turkey sandwich for dinner every night (I know, don't be hatin'). But, this recipe looked really yummy and I gave it a try. Its super easy, quick and soooo yummy! I substituted with Ground Turkey instead of beef cause thats how we roll. But try it out and let me know if you like it!


Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup (Regular or 25% Less Sodium)
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup water
6 flour tortillas (6-inch) , cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions

Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it's well browned, stirring often. Pour off any fat.

Stir the soup, salsa, water, and tortillas in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes or until the beef mixture is hot and bubbling. Stir the beef mixture. Top with the cheese.

Creamy Mexican Fiesta: Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream with the soup.

Ranchero Style: Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas and shredded Mexican cheese blend instead of Cheddar.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with a mixed green salad with Italian salad dressing and corn-on-the-cob. For dessert serve store bought flan.

San Fran (a little late, but what's new!)

san fran 2008



Some of you have already heard about my trip since it was a few weeks ago. But, it is blog worthy so I will post late anyways. My 30th birthday was in January and my husband was talking to me about planning a big party. But, we decided instead of spending the money on a party, to get away (sans kids) and go to San Francisco for the weekend! I have always wanted to go and this was the perfect excuse. A few minutes later I was talking with Carolyn and told her about it and said, you want to go...and she said yes! It all came together and soon after babysitters were in place and we were on our way! It was one of those non-stop, jam packed quick trips and I will never forget it. My husband, best friend (aka big sis) and her hubby. They made this trip extra special. In a nutshell...Plane arrived, public transportation, Larkspur hotel, fishermans warf, clam chowder bowls, shopping, cable cars, chinatown during chinese new year, yummy italian dinner, more shopping, golden gate bridge and more. One of the funniest memories is that we could hear Carolyn and Joe talking through the vent in our bathroom as their room was below us. So, Sunday they sang happy birthday to me through the vent! It was hilarious and a great finale to our trip.
