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.

Birthday Banner

I have been so obsessed with a couple of applications on my iPad Pro using my Apple Pencil! Making these banners has been one of those many obsessions I am sharing today. I plan to share much much more! I have just made a bookmark I will be sharing! Anyhow, these last couple of months from May until October my family has back to back birthdays (one or two sometimes three a month). (Side note.. after all our birthday's its HOLIDAY season!! and boy do I plan to make CUTE Holiday banners!) I used the app for iPad called Procreate and on my MacBook I used Keynote to create these BEAUTIFUL banners (just cut out, laminate and hang!) To use be sure to click the photo below that will direct you to my dropbox where the banner will be. Each photo has its' own link. Enjoy! And be sure to check out our FaceBook page! We would love to see what you create with these! Remember you can print them on colorful card stock (links to the ones I LOVE and use all the link below) to give them a colorful design, the black will still show. If you are into digital planning stay tuned! I have a couple in the works now, that I am making. I made a crochet one, and if you want that comment and let me know! Then I will post it. Here is a link to where I get all my INK for printing a ton monthly! We print sometimes over 300 pages a month, that is homeschool worksheets, work stuff, props for school, stickers for digital planners, and whatever else we might need printed that month. With HP Instant Ink you pay a flat rate to print a certain amount of pages. For example, I have the 300 pages (anything I do not use rolls over) and pay $9.99 a month plus tax. The ink comes right to your door, when your HP printer tells HP that the ink is low, they ship out the new one. No paying $35 plus a month for ink or worrying about having it in stock where you go to buy it, or even rushing to buy ink because you need it badly. With my link HERE you get 1 month free to try out. You can cancel at anytime with no issues, but why would you?! It says 50% on ink! The plans they have are 15 pages a month for FREE (no roll overs), 50 pages for $2.99 a month plus tax, 100 pages for $4.99 a month plus tax, 300 pages for $9.99 a month plus tax (we have this!) and 500 pages for $14.99 a month plus tax. But as I mentioned, you can cancel at any time, or change the plan at any time if you need more or less monthly. And it tracks what you use on the website.  The printer I use is linked below and we LOVE it! 

The font used is from dafont.com called A Little Sunshine.
