ITALIAN NACHOS

Well, I have a new favorite EASY dinner that I thought I would share. Now to be fair I am usually the last to figure things out especially in the litchen but it is new to me. Jason and I love Italian Nachos at Johnny Carino's so I set out to the internet to find a recipe and I found one. Now I have tweeked it a little bit to fit our family but here it is.

1 bag tortilla chips ( I use Santina's because of how thin they are)
1 roll sausage
1 can of Alfredo Sauce (spaghetti sauce size)
Roma Tomatoes
Green Onions
Jalepenos
Olives
Parmesan Cheese
Mozarella Cheese

So you spread out the chips on a cookie sheet. Brown the sausage and heat up the alfredo sauce seperately. Add the Alfredo and then the sausage. Then the vegetables and then Parmesan and finish it with Mozarella Cheeses. Then cook it at 375 for betwwen 5-8 minutes until the cheese has some golden brown spots. Serve.

It is SOOOOO GOOOOD! And I think that you could really add or delete anything you wanted. You could use Chicken or beef instead of sausage or the recipe online suggested that to make it authentic that Johnny Corino's uses browned won tons for the chips. I haven't tried it that way. So There it is

Bennett on TWO WHEELS!!!

Okay, so I want to start this post with some background info on our Bennett. From the day he was born he will not be pushed into doing something that he is not ready for and he refuses to let you know what he knows no matter what. When he was in the hospital the Neonatalogist had to remove the ventilator and later the CPAP off of him cold turkey because he would not wean off them. His lungs were developed but until he was forced to do it on his own, he was content the way it was.
So Jason has been working with him off and on for a while to help him learn how to ride his bike without training wheels to no avail. Now I must disclose that we do not have any patch of ground that is not plauged with rocks so it is not excatly a smooth ride. It would always end with Bennett in tears(which he does often, he is a very emotional child) and Jason frazzled. so needless to say there have not been very many riding lessons lately. BUT, yesterday Bennett decided that he was ready to ride it and after about 5 minutes of help from Jason he is riding it like he has been riding a bike for years.
He has already asked for a new bike to commemorate his triumph, but his bike has hardly been riden since we bought it for him last year so he will have to wear this one out first.
