Peanut Butter Krispy Treats

Ingredients:

*1 Cup of Sugar
*1 Cup Karo Syrup
*1 Cup Peanut butter
*6 cups rice krispy treats
*Butterscotch chips
*Chocolate chips

Combine sugar and karo syrup in pan. Heat until it dissolves. Stir frequently.
Add peanut butter. Cook till melted.
Take off stove and add to rice krispy cereal in a big bowl (note: I personally thought 6 cups of cereal made it too "rice krispy ish", if that makes sense :) So next time i will only do 5 cups)
Next, butter a pan and spread the treat mixture in, flattening until even.
In microwave melt (or on stove, your choice) half a bag of butterscotch chips and half a bag of chocolate chips. Make sure to watch closely, you dont want to over 'cook' them like I did the first time. Eek.
Now spread yummy chocolately butterscotch mixture on top of krispys. Let it sit so not so messy.

Enjoy!

Taco Soup/ Chilli

Why hello there! I apologize for disappearing for so long! But I promise to be better!!
This recipe is a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
If you love chilli (my family LOVES Chilli) then you have got to try this.
This was the first 'real' food I was able to hold down with my nausea.
Plus its become my familys favorite meal, my toddler eats a bowl of it every time- even with the spicy kick to it.

I double the recipe when I make it, for one- we all eat two bowls for dinner, and two-its wonderful as leftovers.

Ingredients:

*1 Lb Hamburger
*1- 15oz can Pinto Beans (do NOT drain)
*1- 15oz can tomato sauce
*1 15oz can stewed tomatoes (I buy the Rotel Tomoatoes and green chili's instead for added spice)
*1 packet of taco seasoning
*can of corn (optional)
*Jar of salsa

Brown hamburger in a pot (not pan, so you can add ingredients to it), drain.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Bring to simmer.
Serve!

Easy right?
We love cheese on top served with fritos! Yumm!

ENJOY!!!
