Navajo Tacos

Tonight I am planning on Navajo Tacos.

To make the scones...Buy Rhoades white bread dough.  Let thaw.  Pull off a small blob.  Roll with rolling pin.  Heat oil on Med-high heat in a large pan.  You need about an inch and a half or two inches of oil in the pan.  Try 1 blob first (not a full scone...just a little blob of dough).  If dough rises to the top of the oil then your oil is hot enough.  If it sinks then oil is not hot enough.  When oil is hot enough, place one of the rolled out dough in the grease.  It doesn't take long.  When brown on bottom, flip over with a fork or tongs to brown on other side.  When done...remove from oil with tongs or fork and place on a plate covered with paper towels for a few minutes until oil drips off.

Top with canned chili, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa, (tomatoes if you like them), etc...

I like Cattledrive chili the best...but it is pricey so usually I just have western family!!!

Today for my meatless monday I am going to buy the vegetarian chili.  It is really not too bad.

Since you'll have extra dough you can make more scones and top with honeybutter or cinnamon-sugar for a good family night treat or dessert!

Note after I made this tonight...I did one of the loaves (out of 3 that come in the pkg.).  It made 3 medium size scones and 2 small scones.  It was not enough for my family of 6 and definitely not enough to have scones with honeybutter for dessert.  Next time I would do 2 loaves for dinner and 1 loaf for treats.

Pasta Bolognese

From Jennica R...


Here is that recipe my husband loves. I do agree it is super yummy. Not the cheapest recipe i've ever made due to the Gouda cheese, but the gouda cheese is a must in this recipe, I buy the big wedge of gouda at costco and I can usually use it in 4 to 5 different meals. Here is the original recipe

2Tbsp olive oil
1Tbsp butter
1 tsp dried basil
Dash crushed red chili pepper
3 medium onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
dash of salt
3 - 29 oz cans tomato sauce
7 oz Gouda cheese, grated
1 pint heavy cream

In olive oil and butter saute basil, chili pepper, onlion, garlic, and salt until onion is tender. Add tomato sauce and cook until flavors combine (at least 20 minutes, but the longer the better). Add Gouda cheese and stir until melted. Add heavy cream and remove from heat (cream should not be cooked). Serve over pasta.

*This is the original recipe, when I made it I changed it up a bit and our family liked it a lot. I only used 2 onions. and i replaced the heavy cream with half a pint of half and half so it wasn't so rich. I added italian sausage for meat. 
Enjoy!
