Nachos!

 School may be out and I might have more time to cook, but I really don't enjoy spending my time cooking.  I'd rather be doing fun summer time things, spending time with friends, or sharing my essential oils.  The fact is though, we have to eat and I do enjoy eating.  So, I looked in the refrigerator and saw I had a pack of ground beef waiting on me.  Lots of different recipes ran through my mind, but nothing made me excited.  I looked in the pantry and saw a bag of tortilla chips I bought a couple of days ago and it hit me.  Make NACHOS!!!!!!!!!  Simple, quick, and easy!  Plus, I had 2 lbs of ground beef and I cooked it all.  That means I can use half of the ground beef for dinner tonight and the other pound for dinner tomorrow night.  I'm thinking spaghetti for tomorrow night.  But tonight, I made nachos ... delicious nachos!  Plus, there's enough left over for lunch tomorrow!
