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.

Bamboo Crochet Hooks

I recently was contacted by Crafts for Everyone Publishing regarding a review on their crochet products. We have decided to partner up and do feature reviews as they get new items in! YAY!!! *Happy Dance* The person I spoke to informed me the hooks would take 3 weeks to receive; to my surprise I got them in 2 weeks; boy was I happy! I ripped open the package and was very shocked by the hooks themselves. The hooks were beautiful! They felt very strong, not like cheap crap that would break after one use. The hooks are marked with US sizes (which are very clear to read) and are like the Susan Bates ones. For experimental reasons I decided to take a hook and bend it, to my surprise it DID NOT break! That works! With having children it is important that our hooks do not break so easily since kids get their hands on them and mess around. Accidents happen...

Making a cup cozy!! I love these!





I would recommend these crochet hooks to anyone and gift them as well! They are amazing hooks and are priced to be affordable for anyone.
