Ahhh, it has been great not having to attend class every night. I am enjoying the evenings cooking for my husband and entertaining on the weekend. This past weekend I made taco burgers, dill potato salad, pasta salad, crunchy asian salad and strawberry angel food delight for dessert. Check out a few of the recipes..

In a large bowl, combine the corn chips, taco seasoning, onion and egg. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 6 patties. Broil or grill until a meat thermometer reads 160 and juices run clear (or until desired doneness).
Top each burger with a cheese slice, cook just until melted. Serve on buns with shredded lettuce and salsa.
