Salsa Verde-Picada Beef Taco Recipe

Image
Need an easy taco recipe, well I have one for you! Get ready to never buy taco seasoning packets again! I used to use the taco seasoning package until I found this  5 Ingredient Salsa Verde Recipe  from Picky Palate. Her recipe is super easy and it taste delicious. My husband doesn't really care for anything even remotely spicy and thought something was missing from the original recipe.  The next time I made tacos I was trying to find something else I could add or take out that might make it something J would like more. When I used to use the taco seasoning packet I would add picada sauce right before I was done cooking for more flavor. J loved tacos that way so I thought why not I would give it a try with this recipe. I am so glad I did because it just added even richer flavor to the beef mixture and best of all my husband loves it!! What is even better is that L loves tacos and she can eat this no problems. Enjoy friends and let me know what you think!! ...

Chinese Fried Rice Recipe

Image
I love Chinese food especially Fried Rice, but it's so expensive to order. Since we've been eating out less, I haven't had Chinese food in almost a year. I've been looking for easy recipes to try out at home, but my husband doesn't like Chinese food so it makes it hard to find a time to do. Back in May, John went to Houston for a week for a Microsoft conference. That left L and I on our own for a few days. I decided this would be the perfect time to try out one of the Chinese recipes I pinned. A friend told me about this specific recipe and how easy it was to make on top of being really good. I have no idea whose recipe this is to give credit. I did adapted this because I didn't need a lot of rice since L and I were the only ones eating it. Fried Rice 1 pouch of Uncle Ben's Instant White Rice 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil 1 bag frozen peas and carrots (thawed) 1/2 small onion 1 tsp. minced garlic 2 eggs, slightly beaten 3-4 Tbsp soy sauce 1.

31 Days 2013 - The First Step

I've been thinking about all the things I've written and read since beginning this journey and unfortunately I can't seem to come up with a place to start. I believe that I may just have to jump in and see what happens. One thing I wish I did more of was to be creative whether it has to do with cooking, baking, or crafting I just don't get to do it enough. I always seem to make excuses for it to like I'm too busy with the baby and I don't have time. I believe that I just need to jump in and make time for it. I hate to schedule things like this, but maybe I need to so that way I take it seriously. This could be a good thing for my husband too because then I have dedicated time that he knows he has to take care of Lexi.  To start this I am going to work on making sure to try a new recipe at least once a month, but twice would be nice. I also am going to try and carved out time weekly to make sure I finish Lexi's scrapbook before her first birthday.  Manda ...
