Christmas is a time for.......

.....EATING!!!
My Goodness WHY do we do this to ourselves every single year?? I guess family + food = LOVE! This is a new recipe I got from my Mom this weekend. It is called Beef Skillet, and it is very good and worth trying.
Ingredients:
1 lb. of ground turkey or hamburger browned and drained
1 can of tomato soup
1/2 cup of picante sauce
1/2 cup of water
tortillas Corn or flour...I used 6 small corn cut into bite sized squares
Brown your meat and drain, add in soup, hot sauce water and tortillas.
Let simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Top with Shredded cheddar cheese and serve. I served mine with Rice a Roni spanish rice (my favorite).
very good and fast.
Easy cheese ball.
Ingredients:
2 packages of softened cream cheese
2-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 package of ranch dressing mix (dry)
about 1 cup of chopped pecans
Mix cheeses and ranch together well
form a ball, and roll in pecans.
wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Really Yummy, and oh so easy.

Rolo pretzels
Cover a cookie sheet with foil and preheat oven to 250.
Place desired number of pretzels on sheet and top with a rolo.
bake for approx 3 minutes (enough to soften, but not melt)
Remove from oven and take a pecan 1/2 and press it into the rolo, smashing it into the pretzel.
cool and enjoy.
Very addictive!



Just thought I would throw this in. These funfeti cakes during the holidays are so fun to bake and make a great treat for after school or after dinner. This Christmas on turned out cute!
