• Fritos or taco chips Directions:

1. Brown ground beef with chopped onion, drain off excess grease

2. Add all other ingredients, except cheese and chips; bring to a low boil.

3. Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes or until thickened.

4. Garnish with shredded cheese and taco chips/fritos.

5. You can garnish with sour cream if you like. Sometimes I add black beans, rinsed and drained too.

    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse
    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse of a dessert. Quick and easy, with no ice cream maker needed, this dessert may be served as a chilled mousse or frozen completely as a "gelato."

    Celebrate warm weather with nature's sweet berries. Simply served with a light dusting of powdered sugar, this dessert is not a sugar overload, because it relies on the natural sweetness of in-season berries.

    Here is smoky and slightly spicy twist on fried catfish. Instead of coating the catfish in a thick beer batter, I marinate the raw pieces in beer before seasoning them and lightly dredging them in flour
