Old El Paso Taco Night
October 27, 2010 By
Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix
I received a taco nigh tpack from Old El Paso and My Blogspark in the mail. It included a package of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, three chili pepper plastic plates, a cactus chip and dip tray and a $10 Visa gift card to use when purchasing the rest of the items to make my taco nigh tmeal.
These cute dishes made dinner fun!
I had used Old El Paso Taco Seasoning in the past, but had not thought about it lately. I was glad to learn that it is gluten free–it makes a safe, quick meal for us. Our taco night was the night before we packed up the RV and left the North Rim for the long trek back to Alabama. I wanted something that would be good, filling, quick to make and easy to clean up. Tacos was just right for that.
1 Lb Ground Beef
All it takes to make 12 tacos is a pound of ground beef, some water, and the Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix. While you are browning the ground beef, you can either chop up some tomatoes, lettuce, and onions, or do what I did and just set out some premade Pico de Gallo from the grocery store.
Pico de Gallo, sliced tomato, chopped jalapeno, and shredded cheese.
I chopped a jalapeno pepper, opened a package of shredded cheese, and sliced our last yellow tomato from the farmers market. Heat up a can of Old El Paso Refried Beans and your dinner is complete.
Old El Paso Taco Shells
Open the box of Old El Paso Taco Shells, arrange them on a plate, and heat them up in the microwave. Dinner is served!

Gluten Free Bisquick!

Gluten Free Bisquick prize pack
The good folks who make Gluten Free Bisquick and My Blog Spark sent me a package so that I could try out the new Gluten Free Bisquick. Before I found out that I had to eat a gluten free diet, I used Bisquick all the time, and I have really missed it. So, when the new gluten free version came out, I was very excited about it. I was not disappointed!
The first thing we tried was pancakes. They turned out soooo yummy–even the non-gluten free hubby enjoyed them. I LOVED using that pancake pen they sent me, too.

Second, I made some biscuits. They were good the first day, but did not hold over to the second day well. I would say, if you’re going to use this product to make biscuits, make just enough for one meal. But they did taste good, and they browned up really well. I’m going to try gluten free sausage balls next!

Bisquick and My Blog Spark are going to send one of my readers the same prize pack that I received. For a chance to win the pack that includes a Pancake Pen, a box of Gluten Free Bisquick, a blue silicon spatula and a cast iron silver dollar pancake pan, leave a comment telling me what you’ll make first with the new Gluten Free Bisquick. I’ll pick a winner on Saturday, October 30. Be sure you leave me an email address so I can contact you if you are the winner.

I really love that I can use one of their mixes to make up a quick family meal when I’ve had a busy day. Their product line includes soups, casseroles, and one dish meals, in addition to a variety of gluten free baking mixes, dips, and desserts. I used their Chocolate Delight Pudding Mix and their Pie Crust Mix to make a delicious Chocolate Cream Pie.
