Taco Recipe

Tacos



So I have been asked a few times how I make my tacos. I thought there was really only one way to make them. Apparently I am wrong. I just make them the same way my mom does. They are super easy and fast. The perfect meal if u lose track of time and its dinner time. 

Ingredients
* Ground beef
* Taco seasoning (I make my own u can use packets if you want. )
*tomatoes
 * Lettuce
 * cheese
* Onions
*Guacamole
 * Salsa
*tortillas or taco shells
* ranch dressing
And whatever else you like on yours. 

Directions
* Brown beef and add taco seasoning.
* I warm up my tortilla first then add the meat and cheese then top everything else on that I want. 

That's it. Pretty simple. I hope you enjoy it.

sidewalk paint


Sidewalk Paint


Summer is here and that means the weather in eastern utah is beautiful. I wanted to do fun things with my son outside because we have been inside all winter and i came across sidewalk paint. I was so excited to try it and it worked great! My son loved it and he is only 22 months old. Plus it is super cheap and easy to make. 

Instructions
 Mix equal parts water and corn starch. Pour into separate containers and add food coloring and your done. 




*Side notes... i thought when he covered himself in the paint that it would totally stain his clothes. But it came right out. Also the first time we did this the paint came off the sidewalk when it rained or with the hose no problem. The second time the blue paint was a little bit harder to get off but it did come off. Just so you know.

Apple Dessert



Apple dessert
Otherwise known as Roma's delight at my house.
I went to a relief society activity and this lady Roma brought this dessert and I just had to have the recipe. Now whenever we get together with family or friends I always have people ask me to bring this dessert. Everyone loves it and it is a huge hit not to mention it is super easy to make.

1 Box Nilla Wafers
1/3 cup Butter
1 pkg. Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Sugar
3 1/4 cup milk
1 tub Cool whip
2 pkg vanilla instant pudding
Caramel ice cream topping
2 small or 1 large apple. I use green apples
1/4 cup peanuts (optional) (I have never put these in)

Directions:
1. Crush Nilla Wafers and mix with melted butter. (i found the easiest way to crush them is put them all in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them)
2. Press into bottom of 13 X 9 inch pan.
3. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and 1/4 cup milk.
4. Stir in 1 cup of cool whip and spread over the crust.
