It has been so long since I have sat down to grace you with my cooking goodness.  Don't think that I haven't thought of you, because I have, a lot.  Every time I try a new recipe and it's a hit, I think, I have got to get that on my blog!  But, alas, time is precious these days with school in session and many miles to travel a day.  I need to find an app that will take my speech and type it up for me.  Then all I have to do is post it and viola, you are graced!  And I have no doubt that there is an app out there for it, because there is an app for EVERYTHING!!!

Well, because it has been so long, I wondered what recipe I should start with first.  There have been so many and let me just say that there really were some great ones and in time they will all be posted for posterity.  But which one recipe out of all of those should come up first to say, hey, I've been busy, but look what I have to show for it?  Drumroll, please...

Spanish Rice Burritos

1 package spanish rice
1 lb hamburger
cheese and tortillas

Brown hamburger and set aside.  Make spanish rice according to directions and then mix in hamburger.  For a little extra, you can add in corn or beans or whatever else you desire.  Add as much shredded cheese as you desire and melt.  Using warmed up tortillas (you warm them so that you can close the ends without them tearing!), spoon in your mixture and add whatever you feel like adding...cholula sauce, lettuce, more cheese.

These are a HIT at my house.  Even the Man of the House thinks they are great and can it really get any easier than this?  I used this recipe first just so you know that I really have been busy and these kinds of recipes are a premium at my house-fast, easy and ingredients you can have on hand!  LOVE IT!

I promise that I will get better and just to entice you until my next gracing, my next recipe will be a crock pot one...it was SO good and the leftovers were just as amazing!  And when it cools down some, one of my and my kids' favorite soup.  Oh the agony of waiting!

I should ask you if I need to sing you the "Patience" song...how many of you know that one???  My kids HATE it when I start to sing it.  Let me know if you remember it!!!  "Have patience, have patience.  Don't be in such a hurry.  When you get impatient, you only start to worry.  Remember, remember, that God has patience, too.  Just think of all the times when others have to wait for you!"

I'm pretty sure that my mother used to sing that one to me and I started singing it to my nephews.  And now my oldest is a SENIOR!!!  Just looked at his senior pictures last month and my has he grown into a fine young man!  I even got to enjoy seeing pictures of him in the local newspaper cleaning up the town in preparation for his last Homecoming.  Hmmm...I wonder if he will sing the song to his kids...

PS-I just looked over this post to spell check and realized how spacy I sound!  I was told one day at a summer school workshop that this is called ADDOSS...Attention Deficit Disorder-Oh look Something Shiny!!!  HaHaHa  I personally like my sister's better-ADDS-Attention Deficit Disorder Squirrel!  If you haven't seen the Disney movie Up, go watch it and then come back to that quote!

Please don't think badly of me; I know that ADD is a very serious problem for people and I am not trying to make light of it.  I'm a teacher...I know.
