Hot Taco Dip
(So good, I forgot to take a photo until it was almost gone)
1 can organic black refried beans
8 oz. organic cream cheese (or homemade)
8 oz. organic sour cream (or homemade)
2 Tbsp. homemade dry taco seasoning mix. (or one packet from the store)
Mix all ingredients, spread into a baking dish, top with about 1 1/4 cups of shredded organic cheese of our choice, and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.
Dip organic tortilla chips into the dip and enjoy! I'll be doubling this next time.

Beautiful Sunrise ~ Fire Powder ~ Thyme
Yesterday's start of the sunrise. Too beautiful to not take a few photos. I was taking Romeo out, who was fired up with energy from the frost on the ground. He wasn't sure what to do about it, ha ha!
First thing I had to do in the morning? More dishes. I literally made a mess of them, but after taking down all the laundry off the line, we were all pooped the night prior.
Our 20 year-old came out for a visit. I fed her leftover homemade enchiladas, spanish rice and hot taco dip (which she loved).
I finally got the hot peppers ground into fire powder. I didn't have time the other day with all the other work. I'm just glad I got my glady bulbs out of the ground, but the potatoes remain. They may be there all winter depending on our weather.
Some Christmas presents arrived. I will thank my husband for buying these for me for an early Christmas present (he he). Thank you Amazon.😊
Buttermilk waffles and sausage patties are breakfast goodies this week. Haven't made them in a while.
Homemade Taco Dry Mix was restocked. Love this stuff.
I sure hope the chimney sweep arrives Saturday, it'll be down to 25°F Friday night and we can't burn 24 hours prior to them coming. They say we may hit single digits (sigh) next week too. I'm glad I remember to buy a few new ice scrapers for the vehicles.
( I love my small batch dehydrator. I filled it to the top)
My indoor thyme plant is doing so well, I snipped some and got it into the dehydrator. I wish I had some oregano seeds to start an indoor plant for that too. Both did terrible in the herb garden this year, but happy to stock up on thyme.
Face it. We all have a cupboard where stuff falls out. Or you did.
Before
After (aside from the bowls on the rack on the left of it). We can now find the lids, ha ha! I also re-homed the serving trays. We only use them for get togethers. Fixed that problem with a set of organizers, under $15.00. I also re-organized a drawer next to this one.
