Recipe: The Best Egg Salad

I'm not sure how you all make your Egg Salad but this is SO GOOD! You should give it a try. I know it sounds different, but if you like Egg Salad you'll love this.

Boil until thick:
1 Tb. butter
1 Tb. flour
2 Tb. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tb. vinegar
1 beaten egg
1/2 c. 1/2 & 1/2 or cream(I used milk)

Then add:
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1 Tb. chopped onion
8 - 10 grated hard boiled eggs (I just cut mine up small)
I added them right after the sauce had cooked and I chilled it overnight.

Taco Soup

Taco Soup

1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
1 can whole kernel corn, undrained
1 can tomato sauce or diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans or chili bean work just fine
1 package taco seasoning
1 package ranch (the dry packet)
cut up onion and celery (optional)
water to make it soupy


Put all of the in your crockpot till you are ready to eat and the wonderful smell is filling the house. We like to add shredded cheddar to this and eat it with crackers or my favorite, tortilla chips! This is so yummy!!

Give Away!!!

After thinking about it for a little bit I knew exactly what I wanted to offer. I already knew that I wanted to tie in somehow a wonderful blog that I go to. It's called Teaching Good Things.

Seems like its either feast or famine when it comes to blogging! Either you are missing in action for days, weeks or even a month or more or you have a lot to write! I guess I'm just chatty today! :-)

Here's what we have on our plate for today.

Kids are doing chores that have needed to be done for a while so I am sitting back relaxing getting some me time in.

MG didn't sleep.....well took about two little naps last night. Very frustrating! So, DH is at work today and I know he's dog tired!

I have some things I am trying to work on.....my two quilts and some other ideas that I am wanting to do for Christmas or giving. I am wanting to get a jump on that because it is just around the corner!

Do you have an idea about what you are doing for Christmas or an idea about what I can do for Christmas? If so please post it here. Not only for me but for anyone else that might read my blog. I love to sew and am semi new to quilting. So, I am thinking about sewing some things this year as gifts. With 5 kids I always need to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the budget as far as I can. So......if you can post some things to help I would love it. So, in doing so I want to return the favor!!! So........be checking back because I am going to be doing a give away for those that post things that I can make as a gift to give to a friend or loved one. You can start posting them when I post the giveaway. So, don't forget to check back in.
