We Texans call this Frito Chili Pie. There is nothing better. You can even open a bag of fritos and dump the chili in it, then top with cheese and/or sour cream. Yum. I found this simple recipe on mytexastoday.com.

  • 2 cans Hunt’s Tomato Sauce – 29 oz.
  • 1 can Red Kidney Beans – 15 oz.
  • 4 – 5 Garlic cloves – pressed
  • 1 cup chopped Onion
  • 1 tsp. ground Cumin
  • 2 Tbs. Gebhardt Chili Powder – can substitute with any other brand of Chili seasoning.
Toppings:
  • Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Fritos Corn Chips
  1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef with onion and garlic.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low stirring occasionally.
  3. Serve with grated cheese, dollop of sour cream and a handful of Fritos Corn Chips on top.

Glam Alert: John Frieda Hot Air Brush

February 6th, 2014

If you are keeping up with the days of my life, I mentioned in a previous post that my precious hairdresser recently told me my hair was too dry. I started using the Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor, and really could see a difference in my hair. So, I tried to not use the curling iron or hot rollers as much, but I’ve never been really good at blow drying and holding the big brush at the same time. I remembered years ago being at a seminar with my boss, and she used a hot air brush, so I decided to give it a whirl and purchased John Frieda Hot Air Brush, after reading many reviews and looking at many price points. These puppies can go as high as $100. The John Frieda Hot Air Brush does the trick, and is under $30. Score. I let my hair get about 80% dry with the blow dryer, and then style the rest with the hot air brush. I went to my hairdresser last week and she complimented me on how great my hair looked!!!! Um, hello! I think that’s the first time that has ever happened! So it’s not too poufy, and not too flat, just like Goldilocks, it was just right! And, I’ve gone to Robin for about 30 years, and that is the FIRST time she complimented me when I was coming, instead of when I was going! Granted, most times I look like a hot mess anyway because I am long overdue for highlights and a cut!

Talk about easy! So much easier than blow drying and then rolling! And the end result is soft, smooth, styled hair. It’s a definite find for me.

Website of the Week: lazyone.com

February 5th, 2014

I found these adorable flip flops at a supermarket by my house! I love them so much and I went back to get more as gifts and they were all gone. So I found them on line. I’m smart like that! Lazyone.com not only carries these adorable flip flops (which they call spa slippers), but also carry adorable clothing for men, women, and infants! And the prices are terrific! Don’t you think my family would look cute next year in a Christmas card all dressed in these flapjacks? I’ll let you know if they go for it! I love everything they have! Very unique. Great gifts for all!
