FISH TACOS

Lizzy had her best friend over January 16th, 2014 to do homework and to tutor her in math. I made fish tacos for the first time. The kids loved it but I wasn't fond of the taste, every bit I was taking I had to syke myself up to think I was eating my tasty flavored ground turkey tacos lol.

GRILL MATES SMOKIN' SWEET TEA MARINADE

Today I had a headache but still had to cook, well actually because I was hungry and been sleeping this whole day, surprised that the kids didn't bother me. Clean the chicken brast sliced each breast in half marinade in Grill Mates Smokin' Sweet Tead for 15 minutes in freezer. Pulled out the George Foreman grill and grilled away. Rey cooked the white rice, followed by warming up some Glory Cream Style Skillet Corn.

A great loyal friend of mines had this dish made with many other components, however this one was one that I haven't tried yet. So I decided to try hers and as you can see it was so good that I wanted to try it for my kids and they LOVED IT, of course right because I make some bomb food...um well can you believe I haven't mastered spaghetti yet. Yes I haven't been able to like any of my spaghetti dishes well that'll be another blog topic because we are talking about these delicious Stuffed Bell Peppers that you should try. Rey loved it and I believe he was the only one who ate the whole bell pepper in its entire, which I could not do.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING




AUGUST 29, 2014

Another Campbell's Slow Cooker Sauces Sweet Korean BBQ with Roasted Ginger and Seasame just add beef. Served over white rice. Next time I will cre8t Korean Tacos as shown on back of package.

Tonights dinner! Mexican Fiesta Whole Chicken instead of chicken breast with the Grill Mates marinade seasoning package. this can be grill, broil or bake however due to my busy schedule its being prepared in the crockpot with Spanish Rice. LOL!!! I just happened to take a look at it while I'm blogging, I went to turn it over and it just felled into pieces in the pot. I put it in a little after 12pm and its now 5pm...TIME TO MAKE THE SPANISH RICE :) Until next time fans enjoy the links I included in this post.

Last nights dinner was not bad at all, it was quite juicy. Wrapped in butter lettuce, topped with white cheddar cheese and grape tomatoes. The white cheddar cheese with this was actually good, I wasn't to sure about sprinkling this on top due to its sharp taste, but I had forgot to buy american shredded cheese. Suprised that only me and Lizzy like it served as pictured while my other children had it dished with white rice. Junior tried it but stated he didn't like it after eating two wraps. Next time I will fix this on two buns sided with fries, they'll like that right.

This dish was slow cooked with Campbell's Apple Bourbon BBQ Sauce for Pork, instead I used chicken breast and shredded it. I forgot to photograph the sauce packet for you guys! You can find it at any local grocery store.

LEMON PEPPER SALMON

So I decided to invest in some fresh salmon at Stater Brothers because I usually buy the frozen filets. I had my youngest daughter Lizzy watch me as I saute' it in the skillet with lemon pepper sesoned butter & olive oil. I skinned off the other side of salmon and juiced it with fresh lemon and a dash of black pepper. Cooked Vigo yellow rice that I also grew up on was served as a side dish. Sorry mom, I know there were no vegetables to complete a three dish dinner meal, but this worked for us.

CROCKPOT WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

This was our second time having this bomb delicious chili....White Chicken Chili! top it off with sour cream adds that boost of flavor/zing. The first time I made this dish was on the stove top but htis time I decided to do it differently by throwing it all in the crockpot. The crockpot is like the magic tool for tenderizing meat to the fullest :). I placed the 9 chicken breast into the cp with 2tbsp of light olive oil, 1 cup of water and McCormick White Chicken Chili Seasoning packet. Served with Uncle Bens white rice made by Reyshad and Jiffy cornbread made by Junior :) he's the only one who makes the cornbread because mommy taught him. Okay so I don't drink Kool Aid like I use to way back in the day lol, but I decided to this time since the kids fuss about who makes it right. (TIB) I remember when I made Kool Aid for me and my sisters and they complained all day that I didn't know how to make it. Your aunty Shavonda use to make it with like the whole bag of C&H sugar....lol.

CITRUS HERB SHRIMP


Okay! First let me start off saying that this was way too little shrimp for a family of five. Next time I will be purchasing two bags of shrimps so we all can juice up our taste buds with flavory, orange citrus as we bite down into these shrimps. Eight to nine shrimps is just not enough to fill our tummies up with something as good as this dish. Until next time!

LIZZY 12TH BLESSED YEAR

Well I am planning for my youngest daughter's upcoming birthday. I call her Lizzy "she's my SUNSHINE".

Browsing through the pin board I create on Pinterest to help me map out a special breakfast and drinks for her birthday dinner. I will be putting some used to a couple of my mason jars with handles, however I need to purchase at least 8 more. I hope the 99cent only store still have more "eek". I found tips on Mason Jar Mistakes to Avoid.
