So, I am behind again. My heart arrhythmia's have kicked in and I have not been in the mood to do much of anything. If you suffer from them, you probably know how distressing they can be. This time around, I was experiencing bigeminy. Those are PVCs coming every other beat. Super irritating. The forceful regular beat (which I assume pumps the backed-up blood out) was giving me headaches from pumping so hard it pulsed in my head. Anyway, I won't drone on about all of that today. I wanna use this time to catch up on my recipes. I am going to post some simple, yet delicious ones today. I don't have pictures for these, sorry. If you have any questions, just post them in the comment section. Enjoy!
Momma's Picadillo
1lb. Ground Beef
1 onion, diced
Appx 4 Potatoes, diced
2-3 Carrots, thinly sliced
Salt and Pepper
Flour Tortillas
Brown ground beef in a deep skillet. Drain. Add onion, potatoes, and carrots. Cover with water and cook until carrots and potatoes are tender. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the broth. Using a potato masher, mash ingredients until it makes a thick hash. Add reserved broth as needed. Should be thick enough to hold shape when spooned. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve in heated flour tortillas like a burrito.
*My Mom made homemade flour tortillas for her Picadillo. They were the best. She would pre-make Picadillo burritos and freeze them for us. A great after-school snack or quick lunch...just pop in the microwave, top with Pace Picante Sauce and....mmmm!!!
Taco Salad
1 block Cream Cheese, softened
Lettuce, chopped
Green onions, chopped
(Reserve chopped dark green ends)
Tomato, chopped

Serve with tortilla chips or alone as side dish perfect for BBQs.
