taco stuffed shells

I really wanted to post this earlier, but when I sat down to ~~write~~ type it… I just couldn’t feel it. Hmmm… Weird, huh? That’s not like me. It may have been the fact that I have had company in town, my car broke down, my 3yr old almost killed an 8 year old, and I’ve been in love….

Things like that distract you, you know.

I know, y’all are probably dying for the recipe now, huh?

Oh.. you wanna know what the deal is? No, my little one is not going to be on the news. (whew!) I was at a play-date with my dear food bloogy friend and my 3 year old happened to leap into the pool into her 8 year old… well, it was over the 8 year old’s head, and they both started sinking. Can you imagine?! So…. super-turbo-ninja-bikini-mama came and grabbed the two of them. Whew. Oh yeah, I have a new job description on my resume. I think I will shorten it to S.tnbm. right after my name, you know like the people who have all that stuff after their name?

Michelle Keith, PhD, MS, AS, BS, S.tnbm, LLc, &%86, !!

Yeah… I kinda threw a few extra in.

Anyway…. so my car also broke down that same day, and that will be a great story for y’all…. I am totally making a cake for that story.

Because it’s such a sweet story, you need a treat to go along with it.

I still can’t decide what to make for the other story…. oh and before y’all think I am having some affair with a pool boy or a mechanic….that’s not the case. I can’t decide on what to make for that segment….hmmm.

back to taco shells.

This is another Sargento recipe, which I love to do… maybe it’s because it’s nice to not have to type up the recipe. I get lazy sometimes, you know.

So, it’s taco stuffed shells- and they are filled with taco meat and topped with salsa and Mexican cheese…come on guys, there isn’t a rule that says pasta has to be Italian! 🙂

And… if you think about it, what are the ingredients of flour tortillas? And the ingredients of pasta? Yep… pretty similar, right?

mmmm….salsa.

I got a dud box of shells…a ton of them were broken, but it worked out good, because I ended up with spicy salsa… so I had some broken shells and sauce for my girls that night.

and, you can’t go wrong with melted cheese… mmmm.
