Pillsbury's Crescent Roll Taco Bake Recipe

I saw this recipe (on the Incredible Recipes FB page) and thought it looked like a fun, easy recipe for both au pairs and host families to try out.  It's fun for the kids, too!

1 packet of taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Shredded lettuce
1 or 2 diced tomatoes depending on size
1/2 small can sliced olives if desired
Sour cream optional
sliced avacado optional

Lay out the two tubes of crescent pastry, thick sides in. Use some of the left over crescent rolls to to make the center a bit thicker.
Brown beef and add taco seasoning.
Lay beef in a circle inside of the laid out crescent rolls
Add cheese to the top
Pull over crescent rolls and tuck in under meat and cheese.
Add cheese, lettuce, tomato, black olives, sour cream or whatever you desire for your tacos, in the middle.

Follow cook time on the pack of crescent rolls, and once it's done, you're good to go!

Happy Women's Day!

Although it is spoken here in the US, Women's Day just doesn't seem to have the same significance as it does internationally.  I remember when I went to live in Italy.  I had been there only a day or two when I discovered how big Women's Day really is in other countries.  There were street vendors selling flowers, chocolates, balloons, etc all over the place.  It was like Valentines day all over again!   I have to admit I had no idea what they were celebrating.  I had to ask.  People couldn't believe I didn't know.

So, a suggestion to host families and Local Area Representatives: take a moment to recognize your au pair and do something special for her (a flower, a box of chocolates, a phone call or email, etc)--it will mean so much to her!

Featured Country for March is Mexico!

For the month of March families who match with a Mexican au pair will receive $100 off of their program fees.  Au Pairs from Mexico are a great option if you are looking for someone bi-lingual in Spanish/English.  Also, most au pairs from Mexico have experience cooking for children, enjoy music and dancing, and have hundreds of hours of childcare experience with infants.

Embassy wait times are very quick in Mexico--usually about 1 day.  So, if you need an au pair right away, I recommend you take a look at the Mexican candidates to see if one would fit your families needs.
