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.

Crochet Granny Square w/ Ruffles!





























How stinkin' cute is this! Honestly? I love making granny squares for many reasons. One, they work up super fast (as fast as you go). Two, you can play with the colors easily and hide tails away as you work. And three,  they just look so pretty when they are done, as if you spend tons and tons of hours on them. One this I completely dislike about them is the ends, they just look so plain. I started by adding the shell stitch to my ends of the granny squares and those ended up being my favorite, but I started to hate the look and wanted more. So, I saw a picture on Pinterest of these ruffles and wanted to figure out how to make them (since it was a paid pattern) I just started working on it until it looked some what like I saw and this is what I came up with. The picture above does have a basic crochet head, two ears, and a basic bow (to make Minnie Mouse- no pattern for this, just make the basic's and you're good) the ears, however, I increased 2 rows and stopped because they looked big enough. I have used this exact ruffles on a baby dress 6 or 7 months ago that I made for my best friend; so cute!
