CopyCat Del Taco Chicken Tacos

Living in Arizona for 13 years of my adolescent life I grew up loving Del Taco. My parents would get take out there often. My sister, Michelle, that was her favorite taco out. If we did take out one night, Michelle always wanted Del Taco over anything else. She loves the chicken tacos. Now that I live in Ohio, Del Taco is not really out here. I have found 1 or 2 but they are some distance away from us. So, I decided to try and make that for my Sunday Family Movie night pick. Tonight, is my pick and I drew Mexican food so why not give it a try.  Marinade: 3 Large Chicken (I used thin chicken breast), diced 1 Lime, juiced 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning  1 tbsp Soy Sauce 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder 1/4 tsp Paprika Place all ingredients above into a ziplock, shake well and marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. I found the longer the better flavor.  White Sauce: 1 cup Mayo 1 Lime, juiced Whisk together in a bowl until smooth, set aside until ready for assembly.

Let's Decorate a Mug!

Hey Guys!

I have had some requests for 'kid-friendly' crafts for Holiday, when kids are off school and for snow days!! Woo Hoo snow!!! Anyhow. I figured this mug would be the best gift because; 1 it is cheap to get (markers are expansive but last a long time), 2 kids love making these, and 3 you can give them as gifts! It a well rounded craft that goes with anything; birthday gift for grandma or grandpa or parents, Christmas gift or a treat for your young ones. Kristopher and Kailee LOVE (crazy love honest) making these. If I could buy all of the dollar stores white mug they would so decorate them all. {lol} Anyhoo heres what you need...


1. Big Letter Stickers (Dollar Tree has these) 
2. Shape Stickers too (Dollar Tree)
2. White Mugs or Plates (Dollar Tree)
3. Sharpie Oil-Based Markers (Michaels, Jo-ann Fabrics or my shop)
4. Your child... (lol) or self...

So, basically all you really do is take your plate or mug place whatever saying or shapes sticker on the mug, and start making dots on the mug. Once you have dotted the mug all up, get EXTRA around the letters or shapes; let dry 10 mintues, remove the stickers and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Allow these mugs to cool in the oven 2 to 4 hours. Once cooled, wash and enjoy your favorite hot tea, hot cocoa, or coffee. {The markers will not run off! I tested this}



Kailee did her nick name, Kai. 


After she did her dots and colored the handle... We let dry 10 minuts, and bam!!
Do not forget to bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes; then leave in oven 3 to 4 hours to cool!!


Here they all are. You can see Kailee's in the back right, Kristopher did 'Dog' back left, I did an H or Daniel (our last name) and the work 'hey'. 

Give this a try! You will be impressed how easy and cheap this is!! If you try this or any other crafts, please send us a picture to Twitter or Facebook and hashtag #organicmominthekitchen and #craftysunday!! I wanna see your creations and your children!
