Beans Beans the Magical...........


I don’t know about most kids but my kids can be picky eaters and I have the hardest time getting them to eat things that are healthy.  Here is my trick for getting them to eat light and dark kidney beans and black beans. 

When I was little we made tacos with ground venison and old el paso taco seasoning. When I met my Hubby, his parents made Tacos with ground beef and dark red kidney beans with taco seasoning. This was totally new to me but I love it and even Sugar Bee loved it. 

About 10 year ago I started making it with both light and dark kidney beans it lightens the bean flavor and lets the seasonings come through.  This had become a family favorite. Around 2009 my sister stop eating meat and became a vegetarian and then I had to come with a new way to include her in meals when she eats with us. I started making it with light and dark kidney beans and black beans with the seasoning and no meat for her this was a hit! We soon adopted this mixture into our meat mix and to my surprise my kids don’t even seem to notice the beans and just dig into the tacos a weekly favorite in our house. Give it a try and see if it is a hit for you to.
I just add 1lb meat of choice 1/2 can of light and dark kidney beans and a whole rinsed can of black beans. The extra perk is that this makes it go farther its like using 2 pounds of meat!

What do you do to get your kids to eat healthy?

This all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives. It is wonderfully crunchy and does not have to be dipped. It is a delightful accompaniment for coffee, tea, soft cheeses and fine light wines. The rush to eliminate fat from gourmet foods too often has also eliminated most of the flavor, a fact which is in sharp contrast to this enticingly delicious cookie.
 
This is a great snack if you are looking for an all natural alternative to store bought cookies.

One winner will receive a variety of seven packs of Almondina cookies.

Microwave Love


So a few months ago we purchased a “new to us” house.  The house was built in 1996 and the appliances scream 90’s. We have made a lot of upgrades to the house like paint and light fixtures but the kitchen needed some work. We replaced all of the door handles with beautiful stainless steel knobs the old ones were cream and NASTY dirty!
I read an article this past week about appliances that turn themselves on and how they are a fire hazard and should be removed or replaced immediately.  That was truly frightening to me so this had to be resolved ASAP! So we decided to tackle the microwave that seems to have a mind of its own. It turns itself on and stops working when you need to use it. I am not a huge micro waver but when I want to use it the thing it really needs to work. I have no patience for things that don’t do the job they are intended for.
 

So off to Lowes we went and found a really nice Samsung microwave in Stainless Steel. We got a good deal, over the stove microwaves are really expensive the cheapest being 175.00 to the most expensive I saw 699.99 (YIKES!). We spent around 250.00 and got all the thing I wanted a spinner thing inside, a good fan and light so I can see what I am cooking on my stove an essential as far as I was concerned.

 

It took us about 2 hours to install this but the directions are super easy. The hardest part was taking out the old microwave this took forever. Whoever installed this bad boy was clueless or lazy and my Hubby said he was surprised it hadn’t fallen off the wall!
 
 
Once we got the old one off they give you this handy little template for the new one you just tape in into the hole and drill the holes in the indicated spots and hang the new microwave as directed. Super dummy proof if you have a stud finder and a drill you can do this all by yourself. If not, Lowes charges about 100.00 to install for you and haul away the old one!
