Tater Tot Topped Casserole




I was flipping through some old cooking magazines yesterday and discovered this recipe. I haven't had tater tots in a LONG time and who doesn't love hamburger and tots....this was a simple way to combine with veggies.

1lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb. (1/2 of a 32 oz pkg) frozen tater tots

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brown meat with onions in a skillet, stirring occasionally, drain. Spoon into 8 inch square baking dish.

Mix soup and milk, pour over meat mixture. Top with layers of mixed vegetables, cheese and tots.

Bake 45 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and casserole is heated through.


It may not look into great in the bowl, but it is YUMMY!!!

Super Bowl XLV

I am a huge football fan, and if you know me....I'm a die hard Eagles girl. I love my birds.

This year was a great year watching the return of Michael Vick, and yes I actually like the guy. He did some awful things, but he did his time for the crime and is an advocate against dog fighting. As a football player, the man in incredible. I love Desean Jackson...seriously he is so tiny but so fast! Love #10!

When the Eagles won the NFC East, I knew that was the end of the road. We were good, but we weren't good enough to go the distance. When Green Bay Packers beat the Eagles in the first round of the Playoffs I declared they would go on to win it all. (my dad, a huge Packers fan disagreed).

Guess what...I think I should start betting, because if you are in your own little bubble....

I'm excited that Aaron Rodgers and the entire team of Green Bay shut down the Shitsburgh Squeelers and Ben Rapistburger. Suck it Pittsburgh. Lombardi trophy is headed back to the team that started it all.


GO PACK GO!!!!!

I'm SUPER lucky



Most people go through life and they are lucky if they have 1 best friend.

I have two.

I met Danielle in February 2000, at a sorority rush event. Fast forward 11 years and God Bless her, we are still best friends and like sisters.

I met Tamera through Danielle in Summer 2001 (I think). Nearly 10 years later and I love that chick. She constantly makes me laugh.

I am grateful that these two lovely ladies are in my life and I am even more grateful that we are all best friends together. I don't know what I would do without these women.
