don't get me wrong, i love good food. i love the way it smells, i love the way it is presented on the plate, i love the way it tastes but sometimes ya gotta get a little old school...not like old school french, but like old school when your mom didn't know how to cook very well (sorry mom!) and you had nachos for dinner. to this day there are still certain foods i crave that take me back to my younger years...for example, hot dogs with mashed potatoes, beef and gravy on toast (otherwise known as "shit on a shingle") and nachos. so, i'm not going to lie, lately I've been craving nachos, well no, that's a lie...ive been craving the nacho cheese (aka salsa con queso) on the nachos. i cant think of anything more disgusting food wise than oil & orange coloring but yet i have already purchased a second jar...no joke! it also might have something to do with my college years but id rather blame it on my mom :)...so tonights dinner was a nacho bowl, i don't like my chips to get soggy so i layer all the ingredients into a bowl and just scoop with my chip. it really helps to have some seasoning & green salsa in the beef, along with some garlic & 1 jalapeno. other than that, i just added what i like...avocado, sour cream, green onion, black olives, hot sauce & my ever loving nacho cheese. dont judge me...you know you like it too!BEVERAGE OF CHOICE-
margarita (of course) with fresh strawberry

Hey! I hear you loud and clear on the chili con queso... it is one of my favorite indulgences. However I can't seem to bring myself to buying the "cheese dip" in a jar so I took to the internet for a recipe I found one that didn't use velveeta cheese but haven't had the chance to try it out... maybe you can and report back as to how it compares with our good ol' comforting cheese dip. The recipe is at http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-natural-chile-con-queso.html
