Taco Pie

TACO PIE (ONE FOR THOSE HUNGRY BOYS...and the budget...GEEZE!)

Bake 1/2 package of cresent rolls to package directions on bottom of any pan
in the meantime...
-Brown 1 lb of ground beef (I choose the leanest I can find)
--add one can/or frozen 10oz package of corn
--1/2 diced onion
--1/2 diced pepper
--one can drained diced tomatoes
--one can of beans rinsed and drained ...any you like
--palm full of cumin
--half palm full of chili powder
--lil bit of garlic salt
Let everything cook and come together about 10 minutes and pour mixture on top of cooked cresent rolls. Top mixture with lots of yummy shredded cheese. Roll out other half of uncooked cresent rolls and place ontop of cheese. Bake until the cresent rolls are cooked....
Then you can top the final product with whatever taco topping you like (salsa, shredded lettuce, sour cream, more cheese, ect...)

Enjoy! - forgot to take a picture so if anyone makes this feel free to post one!

Granola Bars

My friend Carrie provided a great recipe for homeade granola bars over on her blog. I've tried making granola bars before but I was really pleased with the texture and taste of these bars. You should give them a shot!

Granola Bars:
2 cups organic oats
1 cup brown sugar (I used 1/2 cup)
1 cup whole wheat flour (I used 3/4 cup)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup honey (I used just a bit more)
Any dried fruit, nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, etc. you may want to add. (I used walnuts and raisins).


Mix all ingredients and press into greased pan, 11 X 13. Dough will be very dry and crumbly, but press until dough forms with pan. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until edges are browned. Take out and let cool entirely. Cut into strips and store in airtight container.

NOTE: I added some 100% whey protein that Michael had around to add some extra protein...it won't hurt!
