Exercise: none to report, but I did "take it up" for lent, then I got sick. But now I am better so that starts tomorrow. Other things "taken up for lent?" not eating meat on Fridays (I failed this Friday with a carne adovada breakfast burrito, ham sandwich and pep pizza...oops)
Now to my fave, food!
What do you do with a pound of ground beef? Split it up!
I made burrito mix and chile
Burrito mix
- saute 1/2 onion diced, add a couple of chopped garlic cloves
- add beef
- while the meat is browning, add cumin, salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, paprika
- load into a tortilla and add cheese or whatever else you want, yum!
- in a pot, saute 1/2 diced onion, add a couple chopped garlic cloves
- add beef
- while the meat is browning, add cumin, salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, paprika, a pinch of chipotle (1/4tsp) and cayenne
- sound familiar? haha
- add a can of drained Bush's pinto beans (yep, week night shortcut!)
- simmer for about 20 minutes and let cool for a bit so you don't burn your tongue!
Make Chicken Fried Steak!
I used the Pioneer Woman's recipe since I am not Southern and thought I needed something special for this meal but really didn't.

I recommend at least doubling the spices and adding more salt to the gravy. But hubbie says it's a do again!
What else can you do with ANOTHER pound of beef?! (we have a lot from the fresh qtr cow we bought)
Make tacos!!
- clean and microwave a couple potatoes in the microwave for 4 minutes or till soft, let cool and dice
- saute 1/2 onion diced, add a couple of chopped garlic cloves
- add beef
- add potatoes
- add cumin, salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, paprika and cayenne
- spray taco shells with pam
- load mix into shells in a deep baking dish so they stay upright, add cheese
- spray one more time with pam
- bake 375 for about 15 minutes or till the cheese melts
- serve with your favorite fixings
