Warning: Don't Read if you are hungry!

 Okay, don't read this if you are hungry. Cause you will want to eat. I mean really eat. Like oops-I-went-to-the-grocery-store-hungry eat. (Big mistake if you are pregnant. Yesterday I came home with two Slim Jims.)

Lately everything I eat is awesome. Most of these are what I made, but trust me, it's not limited to my cooking.

This roast was awesome...I ate so much Ryan was staring at me and I thought I was gonna be sick. So good.


While my awesome Mother in Law was here, she made this fruit salad. This was the best thing I have ever had.


Chicken Parm. Best thing I ever had.


Slushy from the Oasis place on Bethany and Greenville in Allen. Strawberry Pineapple. Best thing I have ever eaten.




To reward you for sticking with this post, here is an awesome recipe.  I got this from a PTA mom at school. After the snow days, they had a soup/chili day. It came on just the right day. I needed it. And this soup is so good and so easy. I made it last week and it lasted Ryan and I for 3 1/2 meals. Seriously. SOOOO yummy! Try it and tell me how it is!

Taco Soup

2 lbs ground beef 
1 small onion, chopped*
2 cans 14.5oz  stewed tomatoes**
1 pkg Ranch Dressing Mix
1 15oz can Kidney beans
1 15 oz can pinto beans
1 1/2 cups water
1 can mexicorn (I used corn)
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 pkg. Taco seasoning
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Brown beef with onions*, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add taco seasoning, dressing mix, mexicorn, stewed tomatoes**, Rotel tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, water in a large pot (very large). Bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes. Serve with cheese and tortilla chips if desired. Enjoy!

*I always use onion powder in place of onions. This is my trick and I can never tell the difference. 
**Ryan hated the big tomatoes, so next time I will use diced or petite diced. 




In an unrelated note....They really should have these everywhere:

  1. That was one perk of pregnancy...everything that was yummy was intensified by 1 billion. I would often tell Ryan THIS IS THE BEST GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE EVER! Then proceed to drink 5 more. He would look at me and say "It tastes like it always tastes" but no, it was WAY better. Must be the hormones.
