Spiced Beef

I bought a cook book at Half Price Books last week, it is called Easy Cooking with 5 Ingredients. I made a recipe from it last night called Spiced Beef. It was different but in a good way. I think this would also be good served with corn bread.

Spiced Beef

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef

1 can Mexican stewed tomatoes 16 ounce with liquid

1 can kidney beans 16 ounce with liquid

1 bag egg noodles

Directions

Here it is put together

With cheese, my family likes cheese on just about everything.

Twister

We had some scary storms here yesterday, it didn't help that I watched the tornado episode of Roseanne that day either. It's weird that last time we had bad storm my daughter and I watched Twister. Maybe I shouldn't watch these types of shows on days we have bad weather. I was also baking chicken in the oven while the storm was over us. Ever time the power would go off and then back on I would run to check on the oven to make sure it came back on. I check the temperature on the chicken to make sure it was done. When the sirens first went off I ran outside! I looked around and all of my neighbors were outside too. It looked scary out there! Then I really began to worry, so I went back in and put a blanket in the tub just in case we had to get in there, I also put my purse in it with my inhaler and Jeep keys. Then I got the hamsters and put them in the pantry/laundry room, it is in the middle of the house with no windows. I sat them on the washer. My husband looked at me crazy as I was rushing through the house with the hamster cage, he said what are you doing? I said saving the hamsters!!!! We had a lot of rotation and some hail. The sirens went off for about 30 minutes, that was strange. My husband stayed outside during the storm watching the clouds. At one point my husband and son were both out there and I went out there and they told me " go inside we got this".So I went inside, when I would go outside and see the rotation I would panic, so I was better off inside watching the weather. One of my neighbors had a whole bunch of shingles ripped off one side of his house, and my cousin who lives on the other side of town from me heard the train noise and it shook his house. I am glad that we cleaned the garage out a few months ago and we can now fit both of out vehicles in there, we have a 3 car garage so in the last bay we have the mower and other lawn care stuff, a refrigerator, freezer and our motorcycles and gear. I'm glad we made it through ok and the hamsters slept in the pantry. I put them back this morning. Also the chicken I made was very good, I bought a cookbook that uses only five ingredients at Half Price Books. The next time I make it I will share it with y'all.

Here is a picture that my husband took last night.

Tuna - It's What's For Luch

I didn't bring anything for lunch today so I looked around and this is what I came up with.

Tuna, and this is what I did with it...

Opened a can of tuna drained it, added sliced banana peppers I chopped them up to make them smaller, relish, a little Miracle Whip, and a few squirts of Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers Balsamic Breeze Vinaigrette Dressing.

A dash of salt and pepper and eating it on crackers.
It taste really good!

Here is a picture of it.

Wake Up And Smell The Coffee

I'm thinking of buying a coffeemaker with a timer, I would like to wake up and smell the coffee. I have a Keurig, but I think I want it ready when I wake up. I think Walmart has a Mr.Coffee with timer for $29. so I will check that out. My husband told me it is to hot for coffee outside now, but it's cold in the house so I want coffee. I didn't have my coffee this morning so I'm still tired. I didn't have my coffee because I was looking for one of the middle schools so I could buy band banquet tickets for this weekend. That is where the lady selling the tickets works. My daughter plays the clarinet and my son plays the saxophone in the high school band. My daughter doesn't want to go to the banquet, I bought her a ticket anyway. My son told me he wants to go. I was only going to buy three tickets, but I thought it would be better to have one for her just in case she changes her mind. I told my husband about me buying her the ticket and he said since I bought it she needs to go. The tickets are $30 a person and he said he didn't want to waste $30. There will be catered food, slide show, and a dance. I think she will have a good time, she just doesn't know it yet!

Man's Best Friend

I would like to introduce you to my husband and his best friend Kane.

Here they are outside on our back porch... this look is what was that noise! He is always on patrol.

Here Kane has figured out that I'm taking his photo, that look means this better not end up on the Internet, sorry to late! :)

And here he is being so cute! This look means cuddle time!

My husbands trucker's tan is showing in this photo. LOL

RISE ABOVE THE HATE

Rise Above The Hate is my daughters heavy metal band. They played at Kellerfest this weekend. She was awesome!!! When they were done playing she had some fans that wanted to meet her. She had her picture taken by one and another asked if she had a cd that she could buy, she doesn't have a cd, but she would love to record one! Here are some pictures I took with my phone, I have better pictures on my Nikon but I haven't downloaded them yet. When I get those pictures downloaded I may make another post.

This is my daugher

Here she is rockn' out!

Can you tell who is in charge??? LOL!

I like how she is posing with her guitar in this next photo
