Well, you did not hear from me yesterday simply because I did not eat HG.  It was church night and work went late…so burgers from Dairy Palace was our solution.  Hey…this is all about being real…so this is real life meal times with the VanHoys! 

However, last night was YUMMY!  In fact, this meal caused my sweet hubby to say ‘this is so good…I love this!’ AND sent all 4 of my kids back for seconds.  So what was on the VanHoy dinner table last night?

 Skillet Burritos!  I had put the mix and canned goods on the counter with every intention of being home by 6:30 so I could make and serve that meal no later than 7.  Well, I saw the clock strike 7 from my desk at the office, so I picked up the phone and instructed my daughter to get our last bag of cooked ground beef from the fridge and to follow the instructions on the Skillet Burrito bag so we could have dinner when I arrived home. I had a homeshow to call to give away a toaster and then I would be out the door and home by 7:30.  “No problem Mom” she said.  Sure enough, I walk in the door and dinner smells fabulous.  I get to the kitchen and see our skillet burritos cooked in a soup pot, thus a little soupy (cooking in the skillet allows for more of the liquids to cook out).  As we sat down to eat she asked ” are these supposed to be this soupy?” and I explained to her the issue with using a soup pot.  She said “well, the instructions need to be more clear” to which my son said “how much clearer can it be…they are called SKILLET burritos”.  She laughed and we enjoyed our soupy burritos with sliced veggies to dip in the dipping sauce that comes with them. 

Loving your comments…so keep up the meal time chatter!

 God Bless and Keep You,

Tami
