Cleaning The Stove Hood Vent

I was on Pinterest earlier and came across a blog on how to clean your stove hood vent. I immediately thought, what vent? Well, I knew that my hood was dirty and needed cleaning, little did I realize how disgusting my vents were. The fix was easy: a large boiling pot of water, and 1/2 cup of baking soda. Soak the vents, rinse, and dry. This entire process for two vents took me less than 10 minutes and they look 100 times better than before! See for yourself!

I have two vents so this is one of them. It was DIRTY and as soon as I submerged it in the boiling water/baking soda mix, it fizzled and the water turned NASTY colors.

This is after I flipped it over. The difference was AMAZING after just a minute!

You can see the difference! 

After cleaning

I was very impressed with how easy and quick this was!

New Year, Old Recipe

Dorito Casserole - a family and friend favorite old recipe that I love to make and know the directions by heart!

Here is what you need:
1 big bag of Doritos
1/2 Green Pepper
1/2 Yellow or Sweet Onion
1 can of cream of mushroom
1 can of cream of chicken
1 can of enchalida sauce
1 can of tomato sauce
1, 2 cup bag of cheddar cheese
1 pound of ground turkey, beef, deer, or veggie crumbles

First preheat your oven to 350 degrees... Then, start by chopping the onion and green pepper and cook them in a pan until tender.

Next, spray the pan with canola cooking spray and line the bottom of a 9x13 glass casserole dish with crushed Doritos. No, it does not matter if every single part of glass is covered.

Next, dump the sauces and soups into a bowl.

Mix it all up really well!

Brown the meat or meat alternative in with the cooked onion and pepper.

Next add the cooked meat, onion, and pepper to the soup and sauce mix and pour this mix over the Doritos in the casserole dish. Then put a layer of cheddar cheese followed by the Doritos.

Your layers should go: Doritos, meat/soup mix, cheese, Doritos, meat/soup mix, and then Doritos. Once this is done bake it at 350 for 30 minutes. Once 30 minutes is up, add the last layer of cheese on top of the Doritos and bake for 5 more minutes and then serve!!

Enjoy!!
