Fajita

Pork Fajita's

 

 

This is one of my very favorite things for lunch. Lucky for me my husband gets to come home everyday for lunch so I try to come up with good things to eat other than a sandwich or something like that. I will admit I love these a lot more than he does. They are super simple and fast, lets face it having 2 kids taking up my time i look at the clock and think oh crap i have to cook lunch so this is usually my go to meal.

Ingreadiants;

Pork (i sometimes use chick or beef just depending on what i have)
Green peppers (or red sometimes i use both)
1 onion
bacon
tortillas
cheese
ranch dressing

Directions:
-Brown meat and cook bacon however you like it.
-In a separate pan simmer onions and peppers in a little bit of olive oil until tender.
combine with the meat.
-Add favorite seasonings. I make my own up or you can just use the packet that you can buy at the store.
-Add 1/4 c water and let simmer for 3 minutes.

I warm my tortillas up on the stove for a couple minutes. Then i add my cheese and lay the bacon down then add the meat pepper mixture then add salsa ranch or whatever you would like and eat! Super good and fast

Its a light meal perfect for lunch. I am going to try to post more lunch ideas because that is the worst thing to come up with I think personally. I can usually come up with dinner ideas because there are so many out there but not many people blog or post about lunch. So I will. :) Enjoy

Frito Casserole

To be honest I didn't think this was going to turn out. When I was younger my mom use to make something like this all the time. Of course she didn't remember the recipe really so I kind of made it up. But let me just tell you it was delicous! Plus it is super fast to throw together. My kind of meal!

1 lb of burger

1 onion

Garlic (i used about 6 cloves)

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

1 can of corn

1 can chopped green chillies

1 red pepper chopped

1 can of inchalada sauce

cheese (i used motzerella)

Frito chips

 

Directions;

Brown burger with onion and garlic

 

In a separate bowl add soup corn chillis, red pepper.

 

Once the meat is done add the soup corn chillis and pepper to the meat mixture.

Crochet headbands and flowers

CROCHET HEADBANDS & FLOWERS

This is my latest obsession. I could seriously sit and make these all day. The headbands look super cute on babies all the way up to toddlers. I just made my niece some last week and she is 4 and they looked so cute on her. I almost liked them better on her than my little girl because her head is bigger.

Anyway these headbands are so fun because you can mix and match the colores of flowers and headbands. The flowers just button on and off so you almost always will have some that will match every outfit.

crochet hat

So I have a little obsession with crocheting! I go through phases, like I won't crochet forever, then someone will want me to make them a hat or headband or flower or something and then I will waste my days away crocheting. My family makes fun of me calling me a grandma but who cares I love it!

Anyway I made this adorable hat a week or so ago and thought I'd share it. It is still a little big for my little girl but I am thinking it will fit her just as it starts to get cold here which will be perfect ;)

There are many more crochet projects to come.

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 pkg. Cream Cheese

1/4 cup Sugar

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.
