Easy To Bake Vegetarian Tacos

by | Mar 9, 2022

Recipes Are Meant To Be Adapted

Easy To Bake Vegetarian Tacos can be made in about 30 minutes — you can keep them vegetarian or add beef or chicken . . . or add other vegetables or any ingredient of your choice.

Ingredients Serves 4:

  • 1 package baked corn tortillas — organic if possible — 8 to 10

  • 1 can seasoned refried beans — organic if possible — feel free to substitute with black beans or cooked and seasoned ground beef, shredded beef or shredded chicken

  • 1 cup of a melty cheese of your choice or a combination — mozzarellla, pepper jack, cheddar, queso fresco, goat cheese

  • For the Topping: Feel free to improvise — diced tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, lime

 

Let’s Put These Tacos Together And Bake ‘Em

 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F

  2. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with parchment — or use what you usually use.

  3. You key is to fit the 8 to 10 taco shells in the best possible arrangement.

  4. Stir the refried or other beans — spoon in 2 heaping tablespoons into each taco shell. If you like, you can top each off with a bit of hot sauce to taste, of course.

  5. You can now add your shredded melty cheese to the top of the beans plus any other ingredients you decided to add. Place it into the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes — or until warmed through.

  6. While baking you can prep the toppings — or if they’re ready to go, kick back and relax.

Garnish with hot sauce, sour cream or whatever your heart desires.

What Do You Think?

This is quick, easy and I believe delicious with all of your fresh ingredients. I would think this would be a go to meal when you’re hungry, but not sure what to make. It’s great or lunch or dinner . . . a tasty snack while watching a favorite television program or video.

Leave me a comment if you tried the recipe or intend to — what additional ingredients would you or did you add?

Teabloom Flowering Teas Gift Set Collection

by | Mar 6, 2022

Tea Flowers Are An Intriguing Concept

They are not only beautiful but are flavorful. Since this is a new concept for me, I believe it’s best to select an assortment — a gift set collection. I love the concept of having loose teas and allowing them to brew naturally . . . Then add the flowers to decorate the teapot . . . or a glass or cup of tea . . . I do like having lovely canisters to display on my counter or in a cupboard . . .

This is truly a visually delightful and flavorful experience to behold. I remember seeing this years ago, but never ventured forward to see what it was all about. I suppose it was best for me to be ready for this experience. How about about you? Are you ready to have a blooming tea experience?

What An Amazing Experience!!

As I was growing up I was always told not to play with my food . . . I guess that included what I was drinking as well. Now that I’m an adult . . . I can appreciate the essence behind creating a beautiful meal as well as a beautiful cup or pot of tea. I’m still quite intrigued by this whole concept. I do hope you’ll click one of the pictures and find out for yourself the wonderful, flavorful essence of tea flowers.

Primula Half Moon Teapot with Removable Infuser

by | Mar 6, 2022

Tea Infusion 

Since I seem to be getting down to basics with French Press Coffee, I thought I’d have a go at making tea — infusing tea — loose tea — no tea bag . . . Kind of a cool concept. Moving away from the quick and easy way of doing things. There’s something about tea that brings out the Earth Mother in me . . . I’m quite curious about tea flowers . . .

I’ve Always Found That Pictures Are The Best Way To Describe A Product’s Best Features

Let’s Brew The Perfect Pot Of Tea

Place the stainless steel infuser inside the Half Moon Teapot. Choose your favorite loose leaf tea or bagged tea and add the desired amount to the stainless steel mesh infuser.

Slowly pour hot water into the tea infuser over the tea. Place lid on teapot and allow to steep for 3-5 minutes, to taste.

Slowly remove infuser from teapot and enjoy your perfectly brewed tea!

What Else Is There To Say?

Probably plenty. You can always click one of the pictures above or to the right to get more information — And order your very own Primula Half Moon Teapot.

You can have loose tea, tea bags and tea flowers to brew your wonderful pot of tea. I especially like the look of having tea flowers in my teapot when entertaining or when I’m in a particular celebratory mood. 

I plan to address tea flowers in my next blog post. It needs to be thoroughly explored.

I do thank you for stopping by!

COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle

With an electric kettle it sets a whole new image in my mind when I hear or use the phrase “put the kettle on.”

I have to be honest with you — I never thought a kettle would be electric . . . I must be from the dark ages or have spent too much time hiding under a rock.

What Are The Five Things You Need To Know About The COSORI Electric Gooseneck Kettle?

I’ll Show You In Pictures

I Do Have Two More Very Important Things You Should Know About This Gooseneck Kettle

With All That Being Said And Shown — I Should Probably Change The Title Of This Post . . .

But what would be the fun of that!! It’s better to over-deliver . . . And . . . I must admit I’m one of those annoying people who asks, “How long is this going to take?” and also “How do you clean the thing?” Perhaps not what you would want to know . . . And if it is — Now you know!!!

If there’s other technical or mechanical stuff you want to know, you can click any of the images above and be taken to the correct place where your questions will be answered. 

 While doing my research in a previous post, I saw a Gooseneck Kettle and thought how wonderful that thing is . . . It made me think of olden times — I must have been reincarnated and get images of a long-gone era . . . There are just some things that interest and intrigue me . . . the gooseneck spout is one. Plus I like the name . . . the way it rolls off the tongue. I can’t wait to have guests over to use it and have someone ask about it — I’ll be ready!!! “It’s a gooseneck spout!!”

Yes, Yes . . . I know . . . I need to get a life . . . I do, however, enjoy the one I’m living . . . I am easily amused and am having fun with my websites . . . And finding products to review. I am enjoying the simple things and not allowing the outside stresses get in the way. We do what we can and we take things as they come . . . with some enjoyment in finding an electric gooseneck kettle!!

Thanks for stopping by! Leave me a comment if you care to — I’m interested in your thoughts about this kettle . . . would you prefer a stove top one . . . maybe the gooseneck isn’t your cup of tea . . . Whatever your thoughts, I’d be interested in hearing from you.

Until next time!

Multi-Purpose Kaffe Electric Coffee Grinder

by | Mar 4, 2022

A Multi-Purpose Coffee Grinder Is Essential For Every Well Equipped Kitchen

Thinking about yesterday’s post with the French Press Coffee Maker, a coffee grinder is a wonderful thing to have. Freshly ground coffee, however you make it will be a wonderful way to start your day. I like the idea that the Kaffe Coffee Grinder will grind other items as well.

The Kaffe Coffee Grinder is compact. It fits easily on your countertop. A great feature is that it is electric. You’ll have freshly ground coffee beans in seconds to use for brewing in your French Press, Percolator or other Drip Coffee Maker. As an added safety measure, the on/off button is positioned on the lid. The grinder won’t operate without the cover. The cover is transparent so you can monitor the grinding process. There’s a cleaning brush included and an Extended 2 Year Warranty that covers any damage or defect. There’s a Money Back Guarantee!

I’m impressed!! How about you? Have you been thinking about a coffee grinder? Click the image above and take a look for yourself.
