Saw this recipe on TikTok and had to try it… so good.

Brown ground beef with 1 whole onion
Season with garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, cumin, a little cayenne, plus salt & pepper
Mix in 1 can refried beans
Stir in ½ cup taco sauce + 1 cup salsa

Layer it up!
Burrito-size tortillas
Meat mixture
Shredded cheddar

Repeat layers until you’re out of everything.

Top with:
More taco sauce
Monterey Jack cheese

Bake at 350° for 25 minutes
Finish with fresh cilantro and let it sit a few minutes before slicing.

So easy, so filling, and seriously delicious. Would be great with rice, but we had applesauce and zero regrets 😅

Thick & Creamy Cheddar Potato Soup 🥔🧀
Ingredients
-½ stick butter
-1 white or yellow onion, diced
-2–3 cloves garlic, minced
-6–8 potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, chopped
-Chicken broth (enough to cover potatoes)
-½ cup heavy cream
-2 cans corn, drained
-1–2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or more to taste)
-Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper.
Optional: cream cheese or sour cream for extra creaminess

Toppings: green onions, sour cream, shredded cheddar, bacon crumbles, or anything you like

Instructions
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and soft.
Add chopped potatoes and pour in chicken broth until the potatoes are just covered. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and easy to mash.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes right in the pot (leave it a little chunky if you like texture).
Stir in heavy cream, corn, and cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and the soup becomes rich and creamy. For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of cream cheese or sour cream.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve hot, topped with green onions, sour cream, more cheddar, or your favorite garnishes.
Easy, cozy, and absolutely scrumptious!

Holiday decorations are up at Lowe’s, and they’re so good this year. The nostalgic animatronic Christmas characters and all the warm incandescent lights just hit that perfect old-school holiday feeling.

Hi! I’m Kelly, mom of three. We’ve been renting our furnished basement to traveling healthcare professionals for about 3 to 4 years now, and it’s been such a wonderful experience. Sometimes one guest moves out in the morning and the next one moves in that same afternoon. We’ve made lifelong friends through this process, and I love providing a safe, home-like space for them while earning a little passive income. My husband and I both have a lot of nurses in our families, and we started doing this after one of his cousins traveled for a bit. We had extra space downstairs, so I told her that if she ever came to Virginia, she had a place to stay with us. She shared how she found places to rent, and I thought, why can’t we try that? Within days of posting our space, I had several travelers message me asking if it was available. Over the last several years, we’ve slowly pieced everything together, including a fence to keep their animals separate from ours, a sidewalk to the basement, and a new laundry room down there. Right now we’re giving the space a refresh with new paint and floors. The carpet was here when we moved in, probably 5 to 10 years old, so I’m excited to replace it with @pergofloors flooring from @loweshomeimprovement. We’re also adding new carpet in the bedrooms to keep things cozy, especially since it’s a basement.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Shoutout to Costco for my front porch ferns, they’ve been thriving all season, even through multiple heat waves! 🌿

Check out our resin planters that have been a front porch staple for a couple of years now! Not only do they look beautiful, but they also withstand cold weather without cracking—unlike our old ceramic pots. And the best part? They're under $30 each! 🌟

The smaller pot is not resin, so it needs to be brought inside during colder months.

Our cats love rubbing against our furniture, so I knew they’d love this self-grooming wall device with a built in cat nip ball that rolls as they rub against it.

Now they have a spot just for them—and they can’t get enough of that catnip ball! 😻 #CatLife #FelineFavorites

These bins easily hold 2 sets of sheets and come in a 2 pack. We have these in our guest room, but plan to order more for our linen closets.

I need all the planters from this line! They are so beautiful.

Solar lights are addicting! I love the subtle amount of light they give off during summer evenings. 🥰

Had to share my new counter top compost bin. I usually use Tupperware & have the kids run it out at the end of each day, but this thing deters fruit flies, traps odor and looks pretty. It lasts me about 2-3 days worth of every day food scraps.

It’s been a while since I’ve had oils going, so I grabbed this beautiful and simple ceramic diffuser from Target. My house smells like citrus and lavender. 😌
