Although I don't eat fast food anymore, one thing I will always have a soft spot for in my heart are Taco Bell bean burritos. When we were growing up, we didn't have much money for extras, especially after my dad died. Mom would occasionally get us lunch out, which was a huge treat. Usually it was 39 cent tacos and bean burritos. You could feed four hungry kids plus mom for about $5!
I was excited when Taco Bell came out with their grocery store line, but was dismally disappointed when I saw all the ingredients. What are "natural flavorings?" Usually MSG?!?!?! Ick!
I've tried to recreate it at home, but never had good results. I'm guessing it's because I don't keep a stash of "natural flavorings" in my kitchen.
Then, a few days ago, I found a recipe to recreate those childhood memories. Yum Yum Yum! I made it right away. Hubby declared way better than Taco Bell and said that it tasted way better than something you could buy in a jar from the store!
So if you are like me, and are eating healthy, but still have the occasional cravings for your favorite chidhood treats, go visit Peas and Thank You and make Momma Pea's recipe for
While you go make this...I'm going to go back to my bowl of sauce which I will be eating like a bowl of cold soup...
What favorite childhood treat do you no longer eat but still crave?
