Taco Pie, a Mexican Treat

Taco Pie

 
Taco Pie has been a family favorite of mine growing up. I am not sure where this quick dinner originated, but I keep bringing it back into my family's life when we want a little Mexican treat. Here is a rough recipe. I say rough, because it all depends what size pie you want to make and really, how much of each ingredient you would like to add. With each layer of this pie, I just keep adding the ingredient until it covers the pie circle. So here goes...

Taco Pie
1 pound of ground beef
1 packet of taco seasoning
sour cream
salsa
grated cheese (choose the cheese of your choice)
crescent rolls
fritos

Brown ground beef and then add taco seasoning according to package directions. Line the pie plate with the instant crescent rolls. Crush some of the fritos and line the bottom of the pie plate. Add the cooled ground beef and then on top add a layer of sour cream, then salsa, then grated cheese and top with some more crushed fritos. Bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

The Art of a Well Crafted Sermon

Art can be found in many forms. I always admire a person who can capture a sunset, or a mountain scene in a well crafted painting or photograph. I love a writer who can tell a good story where I fall in love with the characters in such a way, that I miss them when the story ends. But what is most beneficial to my soul is a preacher who can open up the scriptures and bring Jesus Christ to light my heart. Mike McKelvey is an artist preacher indeed. God has gifted him with a rare talent in crafting a sermon. Here is a link to a sermon he preached to First Baptist Church, Clinton, LA about two weeks ago. Mark 4:35-41 "A Clearer Picture of Jesus"

My Love for Mint

My Mint Garden I love mint! I love the smell of it. I love the taste of it and I love the calming affect it has on me when I crush a leaf between my fingers. It makes wonderful syrups to add into drinks and a soothing tea for stomach and nerves. The plant is easy to grow and comes in many varietes. Peppermint is still the best for medicinal purposes and spearmint for drinks or syrups. So easy to grow and so many uses! I have grown mints in large pots for years, dividing them every so often when they become root bound, thus creating more mint plants. I put my pots in a sunny location and water daily during the summer. Since I am using these plants in recipes, I make sure I use organic fertilizers to feed the plants. I harvest them as they grow and when they become very overgrown, I harvest a large amount to dry for teas. I dry in my oven at 100 degrees and store in glass jars. I dont't crush the leaves until I use them. Here are a few recipes that are my favorites. Tea for U
