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.

Oreo Popsicles

Kai has been dying to make her own featured post on the blog, so here it is!! Now please keep in mind these photos may not be the best they are taken by a 9 year old who is very much in love with the idea of trying to make her own recipes (being like her mama I LOVE IT). There is not much to say here about these, she loves making her own popsicles and there will be MUCH more coming from her so be on the lookout for sure!

You Will Need:
Oreo's
2 Vanilla Yogurt
1 1/2 Cups Milk
2 tbsp Maple Syrup


Place oreos in a zip-lock and crush them 
Add yogurt to milk in a bowl
Mix until well combined 
Add crushed oreos
Mix until combined 
Pour into measuring cup or cup to help you pour into the molds
Add the maple syrup and mix
Now pour the mixture into your molds
Place top on the mold, be sure you DO NOT have anything on the outside of the mold tops as it will be VERY hard to get the top off (we learned the hard way)
There they are! Kai's homemade Oreo popsicles!
