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 Popsicle Cozy!

It is summer time! Getting hot, hot, hot here in Ohio finally! It feels like we have gone almost all summer without actually feeling like it is summer time. But it is starting to be 90's and I love it! So I have decided to start off with a new section to the blog! I am hoping this is something everyone wants to see, and I really hope you guys enjoy this section. Off subject, I made slippers for my daughter and have been asked like crazy to share my pattern, but with moving I just have not had the time, so I decided this would make my life so much easier! This pattern is very simple, and can make up a bunch at a time. I figured these would be perfect for pool parties, or even in a birthday party 'goodie' bag.

Materials:

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver
Yarn Needle
Scissors
Hook: 5.00 mm

Terms:

CH- Chain
HDC- Half Double Crochet  
SL ST- Slip Stitch
STS- Stitches

Make Magic Ring; CH 4, SL ST into first CH (Wah Bam!)


Row 1: CH 1, 11 SC in ring, SL ST into CH 1 (11 STS)


Row 2: CH 1, 1 SC in CH 1 stitch, 1 SC in next 5 stitches, 2 SC in next, then SC in last 5 stitches (13 STS)


Row 3-15: SC in each stitch around, do not join, use stitch marker to keep track on first stitch (13 STS); weave yarn tail


Row 16: CH 1, HDC around join to the top (not the CH 1) (13 STS) 

End: Cut yarn, yarn over and pull yarn through hook all the way; weave ends; turn inside out (this is the correct way)
