Tvp Taco Bake
"I use textured vegetable protien (TVP) a lot when money gets tight. It is a cheap way to get your protien and a lovely substitute for ground beef with out the expense. No, it isn't exactly the same but most people couldn't tell the difference when I didn't tell them it wasn't ground beef. This is a nice way to use tvp crumbles."

I am a 39 year old, single woman. I work as a full time cashier at a Wal Mart super center. I absolutely love my job most of the time. When I am not working I have a flock of 9 parrots, 7 Budgies and 2 cockatiels that keep me on my toes. I also love to read and cook.
