Labor Day Rewind

Our Labor Day weekend started out with a much anticipated visit from Mallory and her boyfriend Steven. Mal and Steven were our first visitors in North Carolina. Needless to say, I was so excited I could hardly stand it!

For the most part, we had a very mellow weekend. On Saturday, we went to eat a delicious restaurant downtown called Mozelle’s. It is decorated so cute and I think there isn’t a bad dish on the menu.

After lunch, we headed over to the Wake Forest to take a look around. The campus was deserted because all the students were at the Wake vs. Baylor game.

Wait Chapel is the most iconic building on campus. I was a bit disappointed with the interior. I expected it to be gorgeous and grand – but I was wrong.

Later the night, we cheered on the Auburn Tigers. Thankfully we defeated La. Tech and all were happy in the Tew household. For dinner, I made a Hamilton family favorite – Taco Soup.

We wear this recipe out in the fall! It is so easy and always a crowd pleaser! Below is the recipe:

Ground Beef
1 chopped onion
3 cans chili beans
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can corn
1 can chopped green chilies
1 package taco seasoning
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 – 2 cups water (optional)
Shredded cheddar cheese
Frito’s

Add beef, onions, chili beans, chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, green chilies, taco seasoning and ranch dressing in large sauce pot – Stir. Add water if desired.
