Experimentin' In The Kitchen

So, last night I knew I had to make something with the ground beef I had in the fridge- but I didn't want to make boring hamburger helper, or tacos. SO. I got creative. I created my own kind of beef enchiladas- just through together what I had, and to be honest, they were SO good. I didn't take any pictures but here's the recipe if you want to try it out. It's really EASY :)

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 bottle of "light Ragu Tomato & Basil" sauce
1 red pepper- chopped
1 can chopped green chiles (optional)
1 avacado (optional)
Grated cheese
Garlic powder
Chili Powder
Tortillas

Directions:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and then add HALF of the tomato sauce, keep some to put on the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle in some garlic powder, chili powder and whatever other seasonings you want to add and mix in chopped red peppers, and green chiles. Next, set your oven to 350 degrees- and lightly grease a casserole dish. Spoon meat mixture into tortilla, sprinkle with cheese and salsa wrap up and set in caserole dish, do this until your caserole dish is full. Pour the remaining beef/sauce mixture on top , sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

After it is cooled, slice some avacado and put on top.

ENJOY :)

This poem is the best poem i've ever heard, this was recited at my Great Aunt Shelba's funeral this morning... thought i'd share it.

Comes the Dawn
By: Veronica Shorffstall

After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security,

And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head held high and your eyes open,

With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
You learn to build your roads

On today because tomorrow's ground
Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have

A way of falling down in midflight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine

Burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate

Your own soul, instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you can really endure,
That you really are strong

And you really do have worth
And you learn and learn ... and you learn

With every goodbye you learn.
