I wouldn’t necessarily call this Barbacoa Beef authentic Mexican, but it has the same flavor and feel. At least it’s a better knock off than an old family recipe that my mom was forced to eat once a week as a child. Her mom used to make this stuff called “Enchilada Loaf.” It involved ground beef, lots of velveeta, cinnamon, cheese, and fritos, all dumped in a casserole dish. I’m not sure how my mom lived to tell the tale....

A chain-mail glove, to protect your fingers from nicks, cuts, and probably the apocalypse. She didn’t get the knife until the next Christmas. Because, priorities. Kate is a violinist, and her husband is afraid she will actually chop off her fingers....

Chex for Muddy Buddies As I said above, a great part about using Chex is that you can use different varieties to suit your needs!

Whether you call them puppy chow or muddy buddies, this is a snack that is sure to please crowds....
