Biscuit bowls and gravy

Saw this and decided to try it...yummy!!!

This has nothing to do with food, but just wanted to say how thankful I am for Jesus in my life.  This morning's service seemed just for me; although I'm sure others were blessed by it as well.  The worship was great, the presence of the Lord was sweet and Pastor's message was well-timed for me.  It was just a great reminder that I need Christ as the center of my life and that I need to waste my life pursuing the goodness of God.  I had forgotten how sweet the presence of the Lord could be and this morning was such a refreshing time for me.  It also made me want to press in and know more of my Father and his wonderful Son.  Lord, I desire above all things to know you more intimately and to know your heart.  Help me to find wisdom in Your Word so that I may have a blessed life.

My version of Taco Roll!

I already had a pound of hamburger used for taco meat the previous day, so I added a few things and voila!  My own version of Taco Roll!  First I laid out the crescent rolls.  The original version called for a circle but I don't have a pizza pan so I did an oval instead!  Next, I put a can of red kidney beans and a can of chili beans into the food processor to blend until smooth and then I added my taco meat  I added my taco meat/bean mixture around the crescent rolls and I sprinkled with cheese.  I folded over the tips of the crescent rolls and put into a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.  I cut mine, put on lettuce, tomato, black olives and a mixture of salsa and sour cream.  Delicioso!

Fried Cheese!

I saw this idea on Pinterest but with mozzarella string cheese.  My local Aldi's offers cheddar and cheddar-jack sticks and so that is what I used.  Again, with my trusty fryer set to 375 degrees, I fried until golden brown.  I am sure that you could bake these too!

Fajitas, Mendy style!

OK!  So here is my first blog about what I have done in the kitchen.  A couple of days ago, I seared steak on my stovetop for lunch with baked potatoes and a yummy cauliflower casserole.  I had a lot of steak left over so I went ahead and cut it into strips and stored it in a container in the fridge.  Last night I thought about making fajitas but I had also just seen this recipe for frying string cheese in egg roll wrappers to make fried cheese.  I decided to combine the two ideas.  I sauteed a yellow and red bell pepper and two onions in a little oil.  When they were about half way cooked I added the strips of steak to heat through.  Then I took egg roll wrappers, place a strip of steak and some veggies in the middle and used the "juice" from the pan to seal the edges.  I had preheated my fryer to 375 degrees and fried until golden brown on all sides.  They were DELICIOUS!!!  I served them with sour cream, guacamole and my Mexican rice.  So, here's hoping that you enjoy this amazing way to serve fajitas!

Hey Everyone!


I'm going to start a blog about cooking, baking and such.  That way I can post to Pinterest!  Thanks for watching!
