Life on Food: Tater Tot Nachos #secretrecipeclub

I have a winning dinner for you today. And it is a quickie too. Tater Tot Nachos with sweet potato tater tots. I am still excited about this dish. I can hardly stand it. I got this recipe from I am a Honey Bee, my blog for the June posting of The Secret Recipe Club.

For those of you who don't know The Secret Recipe Club is a group of bloggers that get together once a month for a special reveal day posting to share a creation from a secretly assigned member of the group. It is a great way to learn about new blogs and find tasty new recipes.

Nicole just got married and has a cutie little girl. It was fun looking at their adventures in Boston. Many of the places they explore are places that Mr. J and I have visited as well. Seeing them with their little bean out and about makes me dream about when Miss O is older and all of the things we will explore.

I started this month dead set on making breakfast burritos. And if you like waffles, this is the blog for you. So many waffles dishes. I drooled and drooled over many of those postings. However, our weekend mornings were always too complicated for blogging recipes. Babies can do that to you. Thus the burritos were put on hold, probably for a breakfast for dinner meal, and out came these Ultimate Tatchos.

I am a huge fan of nachos, especially when there is guacamole involved. I could probably eat them most days. I got super excited when I saw Nicole make some with tater tots. I only switched up the traditional tater tots with sweet potato tater tots. I heart sweet potatoes. This made for a wonderful dinner, quick and easy on a week night and super delicious.

And the guacamole. I used this recipe from Nicole.

Thanks for the yummy dinner and I cannot wait to try out the burritos.
