In Love With Cooking...

I am cooking from scratch more often these days. Don't get me wrong, I still take shortcuts when I can, but am trying more and more things. This has led me to a wonderfully fun discovery....I am starting to...*gasp*...LOVE COOKING!!!!

It is truly exciting to me to serve my girls a warm slice of bread that I made....with my own hands! This also means that I am addicted to food blogs. I used to get frustrated when I would get a good recipe from a website that was complicated and had poor instructions. Not anymore...I cannot imagine how excited my mom would be to have access to food blogs. She might have even started one, come to think of it. :) Anyways, I am only saying all of this, because Eric and I are trying new recipes every week, and while he is way pickier than I am, we have found some definite keepers. My goal in the next few weeks is to include some of those awesome recipes on here.

Tonight, I am just going to link you all to a recipe that we tried last week. Do any of you have a secret love for Taco Bell?? I sure do, just ask my dad!!! I found this recipe for homemade Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas and they were truly better than the originals, plus super easy to make. We thought they had the exact flavor of the Taco Bell ones, but didn't leave you feeling overly full and heavy after eating them. :)

Eric wanted to help me out and cooked the tortillas on the grill instead of frying them. We used uncooked tortillas that you can find in the refrigerated section by the eggs at most grocery stores. And it was sooooooo good!! The girls even gobbled one up. :)

So if you like mexican pizzas, check out this amazing recipe and FABULOUS blog that I check regularly.
