Comfort food

Well, lets see.  I've stayed in a hospital room for most of this week, endured watching my mom in excruciating pain, and then came home to our sweet dog that died in our driveway.

Whatta ya do????

EAT!!!

Comfort food to the rescue.

I felt like cookin and I want to share these easy breezy recipes with you, my faithful readers.

By the way, is it hard to comment on my blog?  I keep getting face book messages that they can't comment!

I'm getting like 200 readers a day so that makes me feel good, I am just wondering?  Please let me know (if you're able to comment) so I can change something that's making it hard.  Before I start, let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the sweet messages I have gotten about my mom and Moby.  You guys have sustained me.  I'm serious.  and....I know I've been blogging a lot.  It's sorta my reprieve!

Here we go.

I made....Santa Fe Soup and some Apple Pie Concoction.

Let me tell you, if you wanna make your spouse happy.....make these.....TODAY...and sit back on this cool fall day, and watch some football....um,,,ROLL TIDE BEAT "THE BEARS"...wait....while I'm on that...THE BEARS???  Come on Ole Miss, you coulda done better than that.  I liked "Landsharks" fits perfectly don't cha think?

OK now that that's outta the way.

First we'll look at the Santa Fe Soup

Brown 2 lbs. of ground beef

 this is what cha need (don't mind the paper towels...oops)

add 2 pkgs. of Ranch dressing and 2 pkgs. of taco seasoning to the browned meat

Then just throw in the rest!

 It'll look like this.

then serve it up with this,,,sour cream, cheddar, and chopped onions.

add a little avocado which I didn't have and really chopped red onion is better.  Then enjoy!

Now for the OMG best thing you've EVER put in your mouth....

Seriously folks, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

I don't even have a name suitable for this it's so good, so I'll call it

Yummy Apple Pie Concoction

This is what you need:

First, Peel and core two granny smith apples.  Then slice them into 8 slices.

 Take your crescent rolls and starting with the point, wrap one around each slice.  Pinch it together at the ends when finished.  I bet you could make yours look a little better than mine....

 Now, melt 2 sticks of butter

 Add 1 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 tsp. cinnamon

 and stir it all up...salivating yet????

 Pour that mixture over the entire dish

 Now for the amazing part.  Who thought of this I don't know but it's brilliant!

Pour 1 1/2 cups or a 12 oz. can of MTN. DEW over the entire dish

 Bake for 35 - 45 min. in a preheated 350 degree oven

 and just die and go to heaven with this....

Have a fun filled, wonderful Saturday y'all!
