We have all been hooked on Pinterest for a while now. I get great inspiration, dream a bit and have good intentions when I pin.
Well, this week I decided to dabble a bit and put some ideas to the test. Here is a sampling.
Taco Soup – I had 6 kids here and they all had second helpings! Soccer season is in full swing, so my crockpot is on overdrive.
Here is the recipe in her words:
The Ingredients:
there are a lot of cans. recycle. make Al Gore happy.
--2 cans of kindey beans
--2 cans of pinto beans
--2 cans of corn
--1 large can of diced tomatoes (I have no idea why the can wasn't in this picture. I know I put it in. This is a mystery.)
--1 can tomatoes and chiles
--1 packet taco seasoning (if you are gluten free, stick to McCormick)
--1 packet ranch dressing mix (make sure there isn't hidden gluten, I went with Hidden Valley)
--1 lb browned ground turkey or hamburger (optional.)
--shredded cheese and sour cream for embelishment (optional, unless you're in my house. then it's mandatory.)
The Directions:
--brown meat if you are going to use it
--drain fat and add to crockpot stoneware insert (the meat. not the fat.)
--sprinkle seasoning packets on top of meat
--drain and rinse the beans and add
--add the ENTIRE contents of the corn and tomato cans
--stir.
cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5. I think the longer you cook soup, the better, so if you have the time, opt for cooking on low. Stir well, and serve with a handful of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
This gal used her crockpot everyday for a year and never repeated a recipe! She is quite entertaining and she eats gluten-free! Great ideas!

Needless to say, I could share my cleaning tips and homemade products, but there isn’t a lot of fun in that! You can always checkout these and my other pins here.
Do you pin? Any tips? Favorites?
If so, please share!
