<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am really excited to announce that Mommy and Things has teamed up with the computer guys at <a href="http://techknowbase.com/">TechKnowBase.com</a> to give parents of children of all ages some advice on <a href="http://techknowbase.com/keeping-kids-safe-online/" target="_blank">how to keep your kids safe online</a>! </span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know all those scary stories about kids you hear on the news? The ones you don't even want to think about? And then your heart gets heavy and you just cringe thinking "what if"? Do a quick count: how many WiFi enabled devices do you have in your home? Smart phones, tablets, iPads, laptops and desktop computers are all included. Some devices you may not even know are capable to connect to the internet, like smart TV's, iPods and even some GPS devices! Your child has access to all of these devices, and since you cannot supervise what they are doing 100% of the time.. <a href="http://techknowbase.com/keeping-kids-safe-online/" target="_blank">we need to learn how to keep our kids safe online</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The internet contains a lot of harmful sites and inappropriate viewing material for children. Children can be easily persuaded to give up their address, phone number or even pictures of themselves. Children 1-18 can have a lot of freedom on the internet and you might not even know. With sites like YouTube it easy to get away from the original video you were watching and onto a completely different video, something that may contain nudity, violence or cursing. Many apps for smart phones or tablets will contain adds, so while your child might be playing a friendly game an add for a dating website might pop up. And all those website that you child goes to play games; they can have chat rooms built in or ask for credit card information. Some sites acknowledge that kids will click on anything, a disguise ads to look kid-friendly, but when clicked downloads a virus onto your computer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

What are the signs that your child has been viewing inappropriate content? When is a child old enough to have a social media account or talk to friends in a chat room?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is so easy! I feel in love with snack mix over the summer! My little girl loves all the different ingredients! It is so much better than giving her plain cheerios or pretzels! I love doing festive things around our house, it makes the holidays all the more festive! We made a <a href="http://mommyandthings.blogspot.com/2013/06/4th-of-july-snack-mix.html" target="">4th of July Snack Mix</a> and it was a HUGE hit! We love to make a big batch, seal it in an air tight container and use it to snack on until its gone! It also makes a festive and expensive gift! I love the idea of sealing it up in a mason jar type container and adding a festive Halloween ribbon to it! So this is less of a recipe, and more of a suggestion. Add in whatever you like and omit what you don't.. it is just that easy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love all the Fall scents! Our house has been covered in pumpkin spice air fresheners and candles! So what better than Fall scented playdough?? Making homemade playdough is at lot cheaper than buying it! Plus you can great scents like PUMPKIN SPICE, that you just can't find in any store! This is a great recipe and it is so easy to make! I love Learn Play Imagine, they always have great activities for kids of all ages and this is one of them! To make the playdough, you start off by making a base recipe and then add other ingredients for the color and scent!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so excited about Fall this year! We have many fun activities and crafts planned to do with the family.. The only thing is that it's almost October and it's still hot outside! I'm ready for jacket weather! This fun fall printable adds to the festive decor in your house with the large pumpkin in the middle! Of course I am going to obsess over pumpkins this year! As soon as the pumpkin farms open around here, we will have some all over our house.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>"Hot Hors d'Ouevres": </b>If you don't know what an hors d'ouevre is, it is basically French for appetizers. Since the song doesn't specify an hors d'ouevre to serve, we can use our imagination! You could always buy some frozen savory pastries, like quiche, or spinach puffs! If your kids are very picky about what they eat, chicken nuggets or pigs in a blanket would work good too! And because everything is French, how about some French Fries? <a href="http://mommyandthings.blogspot.com/2013/06/appetizers-and-dips.html" target="_blank">Browse the Mommy and Things appetizers and dips for ideas!</a></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>"Soup Du Jour": </b>Otherwise known as French for "soup of the day". Again another item from the song. Keeping with the French theme, a French Onion Soup would be nice. Or to go the easier way, you could always buy your child's favorite soup or even spaghetti o's! Look in my recipe section for other soup ideas! Serve your soup with a nice side of toasted <a href="http://mommyandthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/soups.html" target="_blank">French Bread!

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>"Cheese Souffle": </b>Another item from our song! A lot of people hear souffle and think it's too hard to make.. it's really not! Since the souffle is cheese flavored, most kids will love it! <a href="http://mommyandthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/three-cheese-souffle.html" target="_blank">Here is my recipe for a great Cheese Souffle!</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sparkling Grape Juice: </b>This will be our substitute for the wine and champagne they serve in the song! When I was a kid, we would buy sparkling grape juice, in either red or white for New Year's Eve.. and I looked forward to it every year! Having sparkling grape juice or even sparkling cider for kids definitely makes it a special day!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the movie, Belle and the Beast sit down for a fancy dinner, complete with china, cloth napkins, candle light and wine glasses to drink from! Make your dinner as fancy as possible! You can put out a single rose in a glass vase as the "magical rose", light a few candles and use your best dishes. It might even be fun to play some French music in the background and to have everyone dress up for dinner!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have your guests join you for dinner! If you have a Lumiere (candleabra), a Cogsworth (a grandfather clock, or even a wall clock), or a Mrs. Potts (tea pot) set them out on the table and have them join you for dinner. If you would like, you can cut out faces with construction paper and tape them on the candle, clock and tea pot to make them look real. Don't forget any dolls or stuffed animals of Belle or the Beast would be welcome to come as well! </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 1/2 cup milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">15 regular Oreos</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 tablespoons instant chocolate pudding mix</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">edible pearl sprinkles, for garnish</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Directions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large mixing bowl, mix the vanilla pudding mix and the milk with a whisk. Set in the fridge to chill for 5-10 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the Oreos in a food processor and blend until they are fine crumbs with no chunks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take the pudding from the fridge and mix in the Oreo crumbs. The mixture should be a dark gray/black color. Then, fold in the container of whipped topping. The color will be lighter. Next, mix in the chocolate pudding mix and stir until completely combined! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To serve: using a cake decorating bag and a Wilton 1M Star Tip. Swirl a small amount onto a dish and top with a few of the pearl sprinkles. An alternate serving style is to swirl a small amount on top of a graham cracker to make it look more like it does in the movie! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tissue Paper Stained Glass Hearts.. such an easy craft! With a little help from an adult, almost any age would be able to make these! I love this craft as a Valentine's Day decoration!

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What you will need:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tissue paper in pink, red and white</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Construction paper in pink, red and white</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clear contact paper</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instructions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Begin by cutting the pink, red and white tissue paper in 1/2 to 1 inch squares. A little goes a long way, so don't cut too much!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make your heart shape (or any other shape), fold a piece of construction paper in half and cut half of a heart, this makes sure that both sides are equal. If you want to try another shape, just cut the folded construction paper into a half circle, square, oval or star. While, the construction paper is still folded, cut a parallel shape about 1 inside the shape. This will create heart shape with a hallow center. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, open the heart and center it on the contact paper. From here the kids can fill the inside of the heart with the cut tissue paper. Be sure not to put any tissue paper outside of the shape border. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After your child has finished decorating the heart shape, place another sheet of contact paper on top. Press on the contact paper to seal, making sure they are no air bubbles. Cut around the outside of the shape, leaving a small amount of contact paper to keep the shape in contact better. </span></div>

Don't worry about making this dish, it's pretty much failure proof! The recipe is actually a Julia Child's recipe, no recipe can ever be bad when it has her name on it!

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 tablespoons butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 tablespoons flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup hot milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 teaspoon of paprika</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a pinch of nutmeg</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/8 teaspoon white pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 egg yolks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5 egg whites</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup coarsely grated Swiss cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Butter either 6 souffle cups or a straight-sided baking dish (a small circle casserole baking dish) with 1-1/2 of the softened butter. Dust the inside of the baking dish with the Parmesan cheese, making sure to knock out the excess. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large sauce pan, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour, stir the mixture constantly for about 2 minutes. The butter and flour should foam or froth up. Remove the mixture from the heat and beat in the hot milk. Then simmer over medium heat and stir slowly until thick, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the paprika, nutmeg, salt and white pepper. Slowly add the egg yolks in one at a time, whisking in between. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whisk the egg whites, to stiff, shinning peaks. Then, whisk 1/4 of the egg whites into the sauce pan to lighten it up. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites into the sauce a little at a time, alternating with some of the Swiss cheese. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the eggs and cheese have been completely folded into the sauce pan mixture, scoop the mixture into the prepared baking dish(es), and place the pan into the oven. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake for 25-30 minutes. When finished the top of the souffle should be browned and it will have puffed up about 1-2 inches above the rim of the dish (this may not puff up so much in a larger baking dish). The dish needs to be served immediately, and the puff will start to flatten after a few minutes. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's how to make it:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and water. Stir until dough starts to form. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Place the dough on a floured surface, add flour if the dough gets too sticky. Roll out the dough until about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut our star shapes using the star shaped cookie cutter. Place the stars onto an ungreased cookie sheet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Use a toothpick to make a small hole on the tips of each of the stars. This will be used to thread the star onto the necklace. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Bake the salt dough stars for 2 hours or until firm. When they are done baking, let them cool completely before painting. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Lay the stars on wax paper, and paint them bright sea-themed colors. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle the stars with glitter. Let the stars dry and then tap off the excess glitter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Cut some of the braiding cord, make sure that its long enough for your child to be able to slip it on and off over their head! Fold the cord in half, and pull the loop side through the hole towards the front of your star. Pull the remaining cord through the loop, and pull tight. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A sweet fruit topping with a cookie-like crust. Looking for a sweet dessert pizza? Here it is! The dough for this pizza, seems like a mix between a cookie and pie crust. It has a layer of sweet cream cheese filling and is topped with fresh strawberries and a strawberry glaze. We made this with our "pizza decorating" meal!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>For the crust:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6 tablespoons butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 egg</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1-1/4 cup all purpose flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>For the filling:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup confectioners' sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 cup cornstarch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups crushed strawberries </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Make the crust:</b> In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and cream until it forms a dough like consistency. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a floured surface, roll out the dough. Place the dough on a 12 inch pizza pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely before adding any toppings.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Make the filling:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla<b> </b>until smooth. Spread over the crust and top with the sliced strawberries. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and crushed berries until blended. Bring to a boil, let boil and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Let cool slightly and then spoon over the pizza. Refrigerate until ready to serve. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This just might be the oddest casserole I have ever made. Since you eat it with chips it feels more like a dip than a casserole. But I knew everyone would love it.. and I thought it sounds a lot like a taco salad. So is it a casserole or a dip? You can decide that for yourself, but I decided it tastes very good! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Refried beans</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 lb. ground beef</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 package taco seasoning</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups of Mexican cheese</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few tablespoons of your favorite salsa</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tortilla chip</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. To make the casserole: spread the refried beans on the bottom of a casserole dish, pour all the beef on top the beans, spread all the cheese on the top, and add a few tablespoons of salsa on top (you can add more if you like). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Bake the casserole for 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. To assemble a portion: place a few tortilla chips on a plate, top with the taco casserole, the top with diced tomatoes, sour cream and lettuce.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I ever want a simple meal that everyone will eat, THIS is my go to dish. I have made this for meal for a crowd, I have made it for kids, and have made this to take to someone (it is easy to freeze)! Another good thing.. this is cheap! If you are on a budget, this is wonderful meal to cook, because it makes so much for what you pay! A lot of people worry about the cottage cheese, but trust me, include it, you won't be able to taste it (even if you don't like cottage cheese). This dish goes great with a salad, steamed veggies, or some garlic bread. This is a must try dish! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bacon wrapped meatloaf with a sweet and spicy sauce on top.. I bet I caught your attention at bacon wrapped! :) The recipe is from the Pioneer Woman, I have been so obsessed with her recipes lately, everything is so good! I made this the other day, the bacon was crispy and gave a nice texture to normal meatloaf! The sauce on top was so good! Much better than the normal ketchup. This was my first meatloaf and it was successful! I will definitely be making it again! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup whole milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6 slices white bread</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 lbs ground beef</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 (heaping) cup freshly grated parmesan cheese</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 whole eggs, beaten</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 slices thin/regular cut bacon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 1/2 cup ketchup</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/3 cup brown sugar</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a shallow bowl, pour the milk over the slices of bread. Allow them to soak for several minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, milk soaked bread, parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, black pepper, parsley and eggs. Mixing by hand works the best!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. On a broiler pan, transfer the meat mixture and form into a "loaf" shape. Lay each bacon slice over the top tucking them under the bottom of the meatloaf. </span></div>
