Windows Live Writer

How freaking cool is this?  I downloaded a program called Windows Live Writer that’s supposed to help you “compose” blog posts much easier, so of course, I’m checking it out!  The best thing about it so far is that you have every single font loaded to Microsoft, so you can definitely make changes in the font type. 

And… you can post directly to your blog!

I'm learning! :o) I just changed my blog background AND header! One of my 2011 goals is to learn to use Photoshop Elements and digiscrapping, so here's the start of my new adventure. :-)

>Taco Soup (Recipe)

>I fall into the category of women who were skipped over when it comes to receiving the domestic gene. I just don't have it. My poor husband does 99% of the cooking, and I think he's growing tired of it. He's bothering me more and more about learning to cook. So last night, I attempted Taco Soup. And I have to say, it was actually REALLY yummy.

I took a recipe and made it my own, which NEVER happens.

So here it is...

Christina's Super Duper SIMPLE Taco Soup

1 lb hamburger meat (I used the super lean stuff... like 95/5)
1 can of Mexican Rotel
1 can of Original Rotel
1 can of corn
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of black beans
1 package of Taco Seasoning
1 package of Ranch (the dry powder stuff)

Brown hamburger. Drain hamburger. Throw everything into a big pot, and simmer for an hour. :o)

I served it with cornbread, cheese, and sour cream.

Hello.

I kind of giggle writing this "introduction" of sorts, because I started this blog what seems like years ago to organize some of my daily chaos. And well, nothing changed. I'm going to try to be better. I promise. I have lots of things to post, I just need to take the time to organize the ideas and thoughts in my head a little better - so stay tuned.

My goal is to post something most every day.

Monday - Menu Planning Monday
Tuesday - Tutorial Tuesday
Wednesday - Wordless Wednesday
Thursday - Thorns and Roses Thursday
Friday - Free For All Friday

And of course, I'm sure I'll post more random stuff in there... you know, organized chaos. :o)
