Mixing Things Up a Bit

I'm gonna try to include some new recipes, cleaning tips learned from trial and error and some product reviews (from household items to feminine things =D) every now and again. I don't want it to seem my life is only about my marriage, my family,the military and TTC...though those are the most important things. But I do fun things too! Promise. And I'm all about being girly and trying fun new things.




First up: Mexican lasagna. Made this dish for my husband last night and he inhaled it. This is one of my quick meals, so I used a few shortcuts.


Ingredients:

Chicken (I used Tyson grilled strips just due to the time) - You can also do ground beef
1 package of taco rice
1 cup salsa
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheese
Tortillas


1) Prepare your meat, cooking it with a package of taco seasoning
2) Cook rice as according to package
3) Mix salsa and sour cream together
4) Preheat oven to 350
5) Combined meat and rice mixture

Layer tortilla, then the meat and rice mixture followed by the salsa/sour cream and topped with some shredded cheese until all of the ingredients are gone.


Bake for 15 minutes.

Enjoy!!!


Quick notes: I used the Old El Paso soft taco bake kit and mixed the package of cheese sauce in with the salsa and sour cream for an extra kick.

-You can also mix black beans in as well, however I'm still getting Will to like them so I kept them out...this time =D.



Hope you guys enjoy it if you try it!!!

Anniversary

June 12th is an important date to me. It's the day I vowed before friends, family and God to always stay true to William Michael Vaughan. Surprisingly, Will and I were in the same zip code for the day. First time out of four years. We had a fun day. We ate some Japanese steakhouse for lunch and had some froyo for dessert. Then we went to the store and got a steam mop as a joint anniversary gift, lol.  Later that night we went to a Diablos game. I think about Will, and immediately smile. I'm definitely twitterpated. We've had our ups and downs but that doesn't change the fact I'm crazy in love with him.  He's such a good man and I know that I'm incredibly blessed.❤
