This is the EASIEST and the best soup - SOOO good! (Just had it last night, actually)

Beefy Mexican Soup

1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper (yuck - I don't use)
5 cups hot water
1 package Hamburger Helper chili macaroni
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups diced tomatoes (from 28-oz can), undrained
1 can (8 1/2 ounces) whole kernel corn, undrained
2 tablespoons sliced pitted ripe olives (yuck - I don't use)

1. Cook beef, onion and bell pepper in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

2. Stir in hot water, Sauce Mix, chili powder, garlic salt and tomatoes. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.

3. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in uncooked Pasta, corn and olives. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer.

I serve with Frito's Scoops, cheese and sour cream... YUMMY!

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween!!! My momma came over early Saturday morning and spent the WHOLE day with us!! I SOOO enjoyed that!! We had to run some errands, so we all done that, Then came back to the house, ate some lunch and laid punkin down for her nap (which she so desperately needed) While she was asleep, mom and I made some brownies and cupcakes to take to Nanny's Saturday night. Every Halloween, since I can remember, we have ALWAYS went over to my grandmother's to go trick -or- treating and Daddy has ALWAYS cooked a pot of Chili...... It is so wild how you take for granted those memories... JUST LIKE - We used to ALWAYS get together EVERY Sunday at my grandmother's for lunch.. Heather, Jen and I would get to play with our cousin's, Kevin and Eric..... and this continued until my Granddaddy passed away about 4 years ago... I don't know why, but we have just stopped doing that..... And, THAT, I so miss!!!! I hope we will start getting together again, if it is just for my Nanny, before she passes. (I don't know HOW I got off of the subject.... but, I did - so... back to Halloween!)

But, we went to Nanny's... and to my surprise, my second cousin, Aynsley and her family came to trick-or-treat with us! I am so glad they did. All the kids had a BLAST together!! They are always so fun to watch!Here are some random pictures of the night, I thought were Priceless!!!!

Okay, here is the story to these two pictures (Above and Below) This was Kelsey's reaction to seeing Devin in the "scary" costume!!!! I could see why she didn't wanna look at him!! So funny!!!
HOPE EVERYONE HAD A SAFE AND FUN HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!
