Taco Ring Recipe

This is the holiday season and if you're like me you have lots of parties to attend. One of my favorite dishes to take is a taco ring. This is quick, easy and really good. Here's the recipe from Pampered Chef!


3/4 lb Ground beef Sirloin


1/4 c. taco seasoning

1 c. Fiesta Blend Cheese

2 Pkgs Crescent Rolls

Directions

Cook ground beef until no longer pink. Remove from heat. In bowl add taco seasoning, 2 Tbsp water and cheese to ground beef. On baking stone or pizza pan, arrange crescent rolls in a circle with the wide end towards the center (overlap each roll). Press the crescent rolls together where they overlap. (There should be a 5 inch open inner circle. Scoop meat mixture on top of the widest end of each triangle. Bring points of triangles over the filling and tuck under the wide ends of dough in the center of the ring. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until brown. Remove and add lettuce, tomato, onion, olives, salsa and sour cream, if desired, to the center of the taco ring. Serves 8.

Blue Sky Scrubs: The Best Choice in Fashionable, Sleek Scrubs

If you're in need of medical scrubs or hats, I've found a cool site for you.  Blue Sky Scrubs has what must be some of the coolest and most fashonable medical scrubs and hats I've seen.

This site has everything from scrub hats to medical nursing scrubs to hospital uniforms which are a must have accessory for doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists and many medical professionals nationwide. They also have some really fashionable scrub sets including a line of scrubs for men, women and even a line for kids that you can give as a gift. (Note: These scrubs also make a great gift for the medical professional in your life!).

The scrubs are offered in more than 15 different colors from pink to chocolate to lilac and the scrub hats, which are available in more than 700 patterns. My two favorite products on the site are the Blue Sky Scrub Custom Top and Bottoms and the Poppy scrub hat, both of which are sleekly designed and will help you set the fashion standard wherever you work.
