Unhappy....

Why are all the blogs that I really like going to private? What is going on? Does anyone know how to contact someone and get them to invite you to read their blog once it has been set to private?

Yummy....

Beefy nacho Crescent Bake

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed nacho cheese soup, undiluted
1 cup milk
1 package (8 count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded Cheddar cheese

optional: Chopped fresh cilantro, salsa

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Cook beef and onion in large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to break up meat; drain. Stir in salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, and oregano (the next 5 ingredients). Combine soup and milk in 13x9 inch baking dish lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Separate crescent dough into 4 rectangles; roll out to 8x4 inches. Cut to from 8 (4in) squares.

3. Spoon about 1/4 cup beef mixture into center of each square. Pull corners of dough over filling; pinch firmly to seal. Place in prepared dish. Bake 20-25 mins or until golden brown. Sprinkle cheese over squares; melt in oven. Serve with cilantro and salsa, if desired.
Makes about 4 servings.

****edit**** The soup goes into the bottom of the pan that you are baking it in. Some get absorbed and the rest thickens up some.


This has been my favorite so far. I dont think I put enough beef mixture in them though because I had alot left over. I sprinkled it on top before I put it in the oven. This is supper good and I will try to get the picture up here in the next day or so.

Ok Here we go....

  • We have been busy and its been a while....
  • First of all football has started :)
  • The oldest one has had one game and they lost :(
  • The next 2 have had 2 games and they have won them both :)
  • They all have played really well. I am a proud football momma!
  • Then there is one more playing soccer. He had his first game on sat. They won :) He didnt really play much. He was kinda just standing on the field taking up space. About five minutes before the game he said he was bored and wanted to go home.

  • We had company this weekend. It was fun.
  • I drank way too much.
  • Egg is not fun to clean up. (this is part of the drinking to much)
  • I shouldnt spout out ideas that I dont really want to do. It almost got me into trouble.
  • It is good to have friends that can make fun of you and not actually hurt your feelings. :)

  • I found this really great book that has a bunch of recipes for ground beef.
  • We eat alot of ground beef so this book was a great find and one that I just happened by. :)
  • We have tried about 4 of them so far and 3 have been great and one was just ok but I think that I may have messed up with the amount of something so it didnt turn out quite right. I will try again.
  • This book is great because it all is pretty east stuff to do and there is a picture of everything in it with the recipe on the back.
  • I am going to try to put up some of my favorites very soon!

Sigh...

My computer got a nasty virus. :( Yuck. I am so used to having it that I am not sure what to do without it. I am going crazy. I even started a list of stuff to post on here. When it gets fixed we'll see how much I actually post.
