THIS WEEK'S CRAVINGS Linky Party #29 (Hamburger Meat) and Ranch Doritos Taco Salad

THIS WEEK'S CRAVINGS Linky Party #29
The Theme is: Hamburger Meat
(Share what you can do with some hamburger meat?)

Ranch Doritos Taco Salad
Just returned from a wonderful camping trip that I shared with my son and my parents. My girls and hubby stayed home to work, school and do other important things like shop for a prom dress. But, my son and I had a wonderful time. We saw the Kern River, walked around the historical town and hiked through the Trail of 100 Giants. We had an amazing time... and now it's Monday and back to the grind. How many school days are left? Only 17 school days for my kids!!! And yes, I am counting down.

These are the beautiful scrapbook pages, that I already made. Gotta LOVE digital scrapbooking and not having to drive the 5 hour trip home. Yep, I got to scrapbook the entire 5 hour car rider home. Lucky ME!!!
Did you know May is National Hamburger Month?

We use hamburger meat in everything. This is definitely a staple in our home and I will be sharing just a few of my favorite recipes below at the linky party. This recipe that I choose to feature today comes from my very first scrapbook/cookbook where I gathered recipes from all of my family members and put them all together in one scrapbook. This recipe is from my cousin's wife, Jessica.

Ranch Doritos Taco Salad
recipe from Jessica Kutscher, adapted and name made up by ME!

1 lb ground hamburger meat cooked with Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup corn
1 - 2 tomatoes, diced
1 - 2 avocados
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 head of lettuce (use spinach lettuce or a mixer of whatever you like)
Ranch Doritos Chips
1/4 to 1/2 cup Thousand Island Dressing (this is the secret)

The recipe is simple, the ingredients are easy. Add a few more, or take away a few if you don't like them. But the secret ingredient is the Thousand Island Dressing (even people that don't like Thousand Island LOVE this recipe) and the Ranch Doritos... make this salad taste like no other Taco Salad you've ever had before. It's DELICIOUS!!!

  11. Happy Monday Tina! My Mom used to fix a Taco Salad a lot when I was a kid- I loved it!
    I am sharing my recipe for Zucchini Lasagna. It is gluten free and also really healthy since zucchini replaces the traditional lasagna noodles.
    Thanks for hosting!
