Last night I was contemplating what I would like to cook today. And decided taco's sounded good. However, some in my family don't see taco's as a full meal, so I looked up Taco bake recipes and found this gem. Definatly a win in my family and going to be used again in the future!
My changes to the recipe were I used dried onions instead of fresh as I'm not a big fan of onions, and I left the chili's out and used green sauce instead. Also more than likely used WAY too much cheese but it turned out delicious!

Old Fashioned Cooking... a fail...
Tonight I decided I was craving some biscuits and gravy. However, I did not have the biscuits in the fridge or the easy quick gravy packet. Which meant cooking from scratch, something I'm trying to do more and more of, I know it's healthier for all of us and it's relaxing for me.
So I did a search for biscuit recipes online and found this recipe it looked simple and seemed like I should be able to do it without a single problem. So I went to the kitchen and started the mix, it tasted fine and seemed to be rather simple. I slid them into the oven while I went about cooking the sausage.
Sausage all nice and browned up, I put the water, milk and butter in and slowly started adding the flour. I think I may have used too much milk cause you could definatly taste it over the nice sausage-y taste. I also do not cook with salt or pepper and allow my family to add their own.
Biscuits came out and as I am taking them off the sheet right away I can tell I did SOMETHING wrong. They aren't fluffy and frankly look like cooked rocks... But god bless my family, they say they look awesome and dig it. Everyone ate and everyone's full, but I'm unhappy with the meal cause it's not my normal awesome cooking. Ah well, win some and lose some!
