Mexican Cornbread

I have a recipe for you today. Mexican Cornbread. We ate it a lot growing up. It was one of mom's go to meals. I was making it tonight and decided to take pictures so I could share it. There are two parts. 
You start off browning about a pound of hamburger meat (I used turkey this time). Drain any grease and add a can of Rotel. ( I used fire roasted tomatoes because that's all I had.) Add a little salt and pepper. 
The corn bread mix is 
1 1/2 cups of corn meal mix
1/2 cup of oil
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 can creamed corn 
A few jalapeƱos 
Mix together. Should be the consistency of cake batter. 
Pour half of the corn bread mix into a greased pan. (I used a square pan this time but I usually use a rectangular one. It was very very close to overflowing today.) Anyways. Spread the meat mixture over the cornbread and then top it with cheese. (My favorite is a hot cheese.) Finally, pour the rest of the cornbread mix. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. 
I didn't get a final picture. Oh well, you know what cornbread looks like when it's done. Nice and golden brown.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.
