In my world

Nachos are a health food. 5 am doesn't exist except for sleeping. I always have exactly what I need to complete a recipe. I never overcook the meal. Breakfast can be eaten at anytime of the day. Dishes clean themselves. Morning breath is always minty and fresh. Work does not start until at least 11 am. Even when I'm wrong, it sounds right. Cars emit bubbles that smell like flowers. Cats are always cuddly. Dog poo instantly transforms into dirt. The weather is never under 32 degrees. Each beach has fancy sea shells to collect. Sisters never fight. My imperfectly perfect man has already found and adores me. This man loves to do laundry. My hair looks perfect right out of the shower. Everyone knows I'm clever. Extra cheese is not asked, it's assumed.

Taco Salad

My family has a peculiar love for this meal. It's sort of a staple at any of our get-togethers. You could call it one of our "soul foods". (Here's the kicker, it doesn't taste like tacos.)

Taco Salad:
1 lb. ground beef
1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 head iceberg lettuce (chopped)
2 large tomatoes
1 sweet onion (diced -add to taste, if it's a strong onion only use part of it, don't sacrifice the salad to the onion!)
1 lb. shredded cheddar cheese
1 16 oz. tub sour cream
1 bottle Catalina dressing
1 bag Doritos

Brown ground hamburger, drain, and add to kidney beans in extra large bowl. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese; toss lightly. Spread sour cream and Catalina dressing over salad to liking. Toss salad, and Doritos until lightly coated with dressing. Serve cold. Servings: 6-8

(If you're only serving a few, keep condiments and Doritos on the side to be added by each person as it is dished out so that left overs can be refrigerated w/out getting soggy. We just rarely have left overs. And just so you know, the Catalina dressing with the Doritos are really what make the meal have it's uniqueness. They may sound funny, but don't skip them.)


It's just damn good.

    My mom would make this every once in a while. It's delicious!

    Maybe we were separated at birth.

    Justin you SHOULD try it! And Dan, I'm pretty sure we were not separated at birth. Perhaps we are distant relatives, as my ENTIRE family makes this. But I don't think my family could have handled any boys. All girls. No exceptions. ;)

    That's totally fair.
