Shown here before cheese is added One word: Yummay! I came across the original recipe on Pinterest, and of course ended up tweaking it according to what I had on hand.

2011-10-01T13:52:00.008-04:00

This pic is from my original vegetable soup recipe and has beef in it. =) If you aren't picky about using only fresh vegetables, and don't mind using canned vegetables, then this is something you can make in about 45 minutes.

Ranch Roll-Ups

2010-05-28T00:12:00.010-04:00

Eight 8-inch flour tortillas. ETA: Using this size rather than the very small ones will eliminate so many "end" pieces. However, the next day I tried some 10-inch burrito size, and they weren't as easy to roll because they were thicker. Guess it depends on what you like. :) ham, turkey, and/or pepperoni 1 8oz. block of cream cheese 1 packet of ranch dip/dressing mix ¼ cup (or less) green

Burgers!

2010-02-16T18:52:00.002-05:00

We had hamburgers and deerburgers tonight. I'm sure you know how to make burgers, so here's a picture, no recipe. =) I will add that deer has virtually no grease and doesn't draw up as much as hamburger. The deerburgers were from the deer that JohnDavid got a couple of months ago. I love deer stew and deer in vegetable soup, but I just can't get used to the taste of deerburger. I tried, I
