Stretching a meal... Taco Night

When ya have a big family ya gotta learn how to stretch that meal...
(even with alittle family)

so I add a can of drained, rinsed black beans & 2 cups of frozen corn, plus seasoning to my taco meat... good stuff. Plus its healthier ;)

*** Know what makes this corn special... we bought it last year from a local farmer & had alot of helpers in freezing it ;)


I ♥ that I havent had to buy corn since last July :)
Honeys says this year hes buyin a corn cutter (I dont know what its called, lol)

Its Not Just Corn...

Remember- you've been blessed so that you can be a blessing to others. Don't hold back or allow doubt to block God's blessings....





Some friends brought us about 60 ears of corn last Monday, which I thought was very sweet & nice of them. They also brought 4 bags of yummy pear (another post on the pears sometime this week). The next day as I was washin dishes & watching the hummers out my kitchen window when it dawned on me that there is a story behind this corn. You see acouple days before we were over someones house & they have a cornfield behind em (its not theirs), anyways the corn is ready & they told us to just go pick us some corn if we wanted it... yes I wanted some of that corn but I do not steal, even corn, its just plain wrong. Some farmer took the time to plant & take care of the field of corn, that is their income, I would never take something that was not mine, I'm just not that kind of person. So I believe since we didnt steal any corn God blessed us with friends that brought us some corn & pears. I did send my friends home with 5 lil goodies of their own.

Thank You God & Thank You Friends ;)
