One of the reasons that got me to start this blog is the want to become debt free. My husband and I took a wonderful class at our church and are currently working on becoming debt free. We took Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. We have graduated are are continuing on working to become debt free. One of the first things was to stop using credit cards. I haven't used one since the end of February and surprisingly I don't miss it and somehow I feel like we have money! Little things (that are big) have been using the budget and paying down debt with a vengeance.
I highly recommend taking the class. Here is where you need to go to get to Mr. Ramsey's website. He is running a special for the materials. My husband razzed me about spending $100 on a class to stop spending money but he even agrees it's been one of the best investments we've ever made! I'm looking forward to the day we can yell "WE'RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!" I know it's coming soon and I have the plan laid out.

Taco Chili
It got cold in Oklahoma today and I've been sick all weekend. I meant to make just regular taco meat for my taco salad but it came out soupy today. Guess my inner chef told me to make it like a chili, cause that's what I turned up with today and it turned out pretty good. I'm now really trying to lose weight so recipes will probably follow a bit of that but even if you're not on a diet this turned out good (and feel free to substitute beef for the ground turkey). This is also for a big batch (we had been to Sam's and got the ground turkey there).
Taco Chili (serves: 8-10)
Ingredients:
2 lbs Lean Ground Turkey (or Lean Ground Beef)
2 packages of Taco Seasoning
1 (15 oz.) can Diced Tomatoes w/ Chilis (we did the Hot but it does make it really spicy feel free to use original or mild) I.E. Rotel Hot
1 (15 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes
1 1/4 cup water (or more if you want it a bit soupier)
Directions:
Brown ground turkey. Drain.
Add water and seasonings and stir til seasoning covers the turkey. Bring to a boil.
Add both cans of tomatoes. Simmer until heated through.
It's that easy!
I still made mine on a salad and topped with sauteed onions and mushrooms on a bed of lettuce and some salsa and additional jalapenos.
Eat as a soup and top with cheese and sour cream
My husband used a slotted spoon so the liquid drained and still made tacos with his.
