I added a little Christmas Spirit by decorating the cabinets in my kitchen with wrapping paper.
Dreidel out of fig newtons.
The yummiest cheese ball ever. I’ll get you the info asap.

Beef Taco Bake

* 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
* 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained

Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and drain fat. Add the diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, water, sour cream and taco seasoning mix. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until beef is cooked through and no pink remains.
3. In the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, place a layer of tortilla chips. Cover with a layer of the meat mixture then a layer of cheese. Repeat this process until the last layer is cheese.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.

I’ve been giving her the Horizon’s Organic Milk since she started drinking milk. Does anyone have one they like better?
I was looking for different foods to feed Valentine for lunch and dinner other than lunch meat and chicken nuggets…so I got this Boca Meatless Burgers. I’ll let you know how she likes it.
I give Valentine waffles for breakfast and one trip I decided to try one with flax seed in it because why not? She really likes the waffles.
I tend to give Valentine so much dairy through milk, cheese, and yogurt so I got some unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk to alternate with the regular milk. She really likes it (and I like it too)
The Bubo Pinot Grigio is David and I’s favorite wine at the moment =)
I also decided to get some sheep’s cheese. Valentine really likes the 3 month aged Mancheso (and so do I) My mom has tried to the 6 month aged Mancheso and said that it is a little more potent.
