Taco Soup

Well Old Man Winter has finally made his bitter appearance and I must admit.... HE IS NOT WELCOME! But since the old fart insists on staying I thought I would share one of my absolute favorite recipes to keep ya warmed up. I get compliments every time I make this and it is oh so easy. If you can open a can you can make this one and guess what? It's healthy!!


Taco Soup

1 pound hamburger or ground turkey
2 cans corn
2 cans orignal rotel
1 can black beans
1 can ranch style beans
3 sm cans diced green chilies
1 pkg taco seasoninng
1 pkg ranch dip mix

Brown hamburger in pot. I season with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Then add corn, beans, rotel and green chilies. ( DO NOT DRAIN CANS). Mix together. Then add taco seasoning and ranch dip mix. Bring to a boil. reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes. Can top with Shredded cheese and sour cream if desired.Serve with cornbread or tortilla chips.

It's yummy and one of my favorites.

Happy Cooking!

Juniper & Tacos

Well hello there! This is the first time I've had a chance to log in and post anything to our fabulous blog that Lynse has been working so hard on. AND I pray that by doing this I'm not screwing up any of her hard work. More than likely I am, so Lyns... I'm sorry. We are very new to this blogging business so you people are just gonna have to bare with us while we figure all this nonsense out.

So if you haven't figured it out yet... I'm Jessica, the Juniper to Jellybeans & Juniper. Why Juniper?

Exhaustion...

I AM EXHAUSTED!!!  I have been working on this stinkin' blog all day!  I know it gets easier, but it sure is frustrating!  I never knew how to "edit codes".  All I could think about while I was "editing codes" for the blog was the movie 'The Network'.  If you've seen it then you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.  Hehe!  Anywho, I just made my new signature line, soooo I thought I would share :)

New Kids On The Blog....

Hello, Hello!  First off, we need to thank all of the SUPER AWESOME craft blogs we have been stalking.  They have been the main reason that we decided to start blogging our own creative ideas!  We have gotten a ton of amazing ideas from everyone else, so we thought it was only fair to let others use ours in return.  Since we are brand spankin new to the blog block, bare with us while we work to make it cutesy.  With that said, here's a little about us...  Our names are Lynse' and Jessica.  We are total DIY soul mates and a danger to any craft store :)  We went to the hobbs (hobby lobby) the other night, and I think we ended up staying ummm....3 hours!  There's just something about that store that's addicting, isn't there?  I (Lynse') am a chatty kathy.  I feel sorry for the hubs sometimes!  Speaking of hubs, I have an amazing husband and two remarkable kiddo's.  I am truly blessed with the best family and friends a girl could ask for.  Life is good!!  Now onto Jess, or as my kids call her, Mama Jess.  I have to brag on her since she's not writing this blog, AND she can't tell me not too :)  Jess is an INCREDIBLE cook!  You name it, she can make it.  She will be posting some of her yummo recipes, so make sure you visit often to get them for yourself.  Like me, she also has two children, Daisy (Lab) and Henry (cocker spaniel mix).  She's a person who always gives more than she receives, and is just one of those friends that are hard to find.  Make sure you read our "about me" section so you can get to know us even better.  Come back often, we don't mind if you stalk our blog like we do yours ;)  We promise to keep if funky, fresh, and always entertaining!!  Much love and many blessings.

Lynse' and Jess
