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.

Turkey Vegetable Soup

Winter is here, winter is here; which means lots and lots of soup! Lately, it has been in the 50's in Ohio and boy has it caught me off guard. I was not nearly close to be ready or prepared for any of this weather. Some of my favorite soups are vegetable, minestrone, potato soup, and broccoli soup (all of which will be in my Winter Soups section on the blog- coming VERY soon I promise). Mmmh.. Reminds me Ham, Potato, and Green Bean soup is another strong favorite for winter time in the Haiden Household- that recipe is found here.


You Will Need:

3-4 Organic Potatoes, peeled & cut
2 Jar Organic Diced Tomatoes
1 Jar Organic Tomato Sauce
2 Bag Frozen Organic Mixed Veggies
1 lb. Organic Turkey
3 tbsp Organic Garlic Powder
3 tbsp Organic Onion Powder
3 Organic Bay Leaves
32 oz. Organic Beef Broth (I used beef bouillon base)
Salt & Pepper, to taste (veggies need lots of salt)


In a skillet, brown the turkey, add chopped onions, onion powder, garlic powder


Cook until browned


Add all the ingredients, including cooked turkey, in a stock pot; except the potato (do not add that until 30 mins before serving)


Peel, cut and add potatoes, cook 30 minutes or until fork tender. Be sure to taste soup and adjust seasoning; because it is vegetable soup it requires some salt (as vegetables need lots of salt to bring out their flavors)


One of my favorites, with or without the turkey! You can use any ground meat, or none at all, does not matter! ENJOY! Cheers to WINTER!
