Taco Bake

Taco Bake

My girls love this. We did leave out the 

Salsa Con Queso. I had them try it and 

they did not like it. It turned out really good

without it. 

Taco Back

Ingredients:

 

1 pound ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning

* water as called for on back of seasoning packet

3 large flour tortillas (8-inch size)

1/2 cup Salsa Con Queso

1 1/2-2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions:

 

Brown and crumble ground beef. Drain excess grease.

Add in taco seasoning and water (following directions on back of seasoning packet).

Once the taco meat is ready, turn off heat and add in 1/2 cup salsa con queso.Give it a good stir until thoroughly combined. 

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. 

Spry an 8-inch round baking pan with nostick cooking spray. 

Layer the bottom of the pan with flour tortilla.  

Now add about 1/3 of the ground beef taco filling on the first layer.  

Then add 1/3 of the shredded cheese.

continue until you are done with all the layers: another tortillla, more taco mixture, more cheese. 

Bake at 350F dregrees for about 15-20 mins.

Until  cheese is melted and edges are slightly golden brown. 

Allow to cool for a couple of minutes. 

Then slice and serve. 

We topped ours with sour cream. I also added green onions.

Wavy Hair look

Wavy Hair look

We had a side braid in earlier and when she took it out. 

She loved the look. So on Sunday night. We 

sat and did some french braids in her hair. 

Here is what it looked like when 

we were all done. 

I just used a spray bottle to get it wet as I went along. 

She then slept in them all night long. 

Here is the look in the morning. 

I wanted to curl it under but she liked the way it looked. 

So we left it. She really liked it.

Knotted Hair Bun

Knotted Hair Bun

I like this one. But I do think

my hair needs to be a bit logner

to really get it too look better. If I 

decide to wear it down. Like she 

says in the video. 

It was really easy and fast to do. 

I also only used four bobby pins. Which

for me I usually have to use more then that. 

I am going to wear this tomorrow at 

Scrap Fest. :)

I love her tutorials.

Here is what it looked like when I was done. 

If you don't know how to do a french or Dutch braid. 

Please follow this link and she will help you out. 

How to do  French or Dutch braids

I need to move the braids over a bit and I did not have any 

of those small clear ponytails left. So I had to use 

my girls small color ponytails. I used back with the hope 

it would hide a bit better. 

I took out the bobby pins for the night and left in the braids.

I love the look braids give when they are taken out. So this is what 

I did with my hair today(Sept 6, 2012). 

I just stuck it up with a clip and then

add a cute scarf I had.
