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.

Lemon Poppy Muffins

As many of you know, if you follow me on here, that I have taken some much needed time off. First, we moved into a new house that we built from the ground up. Then, we were dealing with working a full time job, being a mom, being a house wife and life. I just had no time for this page. However, I have finally been able to leave my job and am back in the swing of this blog and plan to add many, many new recipes and crochet items. Plus, I just started using a Cricut cutting machine and plan to bring a ton of posts and videos on this very soon! So, thank you for sticking by us and here's to a new start!

Lemon poppy seed muffins are literally one of my favorite snack-y muffins to ever make. These muffins go way too fast in our house when we make them. Making these with my daughter is just the icing on top, so to speak because let's be honest icing on top of a lemon poppy muffin probably is not the best idea or taste well. 


You Will Need:
1/2 Cup Butter
2 Eggs, room temp
2 tsp Poppy Seeds
2 Lemons, zest
1 Lemon, juice
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
Place sugar into your bowl and add all dry ingredients 
Add sour cream, and eggs mix well
Add melted butter
Whisk baby whisk!
Using a small strainer, or juicer juice your lemon
Add your poppy seeds and mix
Grate lemon into your batter, and stir well. The amount of lemon zest depends on you. I used 1 whole lemon zest.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick insert comes out clean
Haha!! As you can see from the photo on the right, they were getting eaten way, way too fast! 
These are simply the best ever! I truly hope you enjoy!! Be sure to share on our Facebook page photos of your Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins!! YUM!
