Del Taco is now offering Turkey Tacos.

Let's talk turkey tacos. Del Taco is now serving delicious crunchy tacos and tostadas made with turkey. They are  only 150 calories and 33% percent less fat compared to the seasoned beef tacos. I tried them and they tasted delicious. The pico de gallo is made fresh everyday and it a great side dish with the tacos.  

My husband and I went out for a lunch date the other day to Del Taco. He ordered the fish tacos and I ordered the turkey tacos. He wanted a soft shell and I wanted the crunch. It was the perfect lunch date because we both ordered what we wanted eat. (The Menu at Del Taco is full of great selections, so everyone can find something yummy.)  With our meal came the pico de gallo (salsa) item and it was the perfect size for lunch. Our lunch hour was fun with great food and conversation.  Del Taco is our place to go for a quick delicious meal.

Next time you have lunch think of Del Taco for a low calorie savory meal. Del Taco is the perfect place to get fast food that is tasty and delicious.  In a hurry, then try their drive-thru and take it to go.  The best part is that the staff is friendly and super fast at the Del Tacos.

Chicken Spaghetti Made in Minnesota

My mother-in-law is a great homemaker and a great person. The other day on the phone we got talking about what was happening in Minnesota. When we got to talking about her favorite new dish. Her and my father-in-law have been experimenting in the kitchen. One recipe they found that they love to make and share with friends is "Chicken Spaghetti". The recipe came from the show The Pioneer Woman a food blogger, who is now on the Food Network.  Of course, I would say send me pictures and the recipe for me to share with others. They did just that with their own twist to the recipe. I would like to add that I am extremely thankful to my in-laws for always sharing their thoughts, ideas and recipes. With their permission I am sharing their Minnesota twist on Chicken Spaghetti.

 

 

  

CHICKEN SPAGHETTI MINNESOTA STYLE

 

  

Ingredients:

 

 

 

1 whole raw chicken, cut into 8 pieces

 

1 pound thin spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces

 

3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar

 

1/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper

 

1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper

 

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

 

1/8  teaspoon cayenne pepper

 

Two 10 3/4-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup

 

1 medium white onion, finely diced

 

 Freshly ground black pepper 

 

 

 

 

Directions:  

Preheat the oven to 350° F.  While the oven is heating up bring a large pot of water to a boil. The water should be enough to cover a whole chicken cut up.  Add the chicken pieces to the boiling water and boil for a few minutes, and then turn the heat to medium-low and simmer, 30 to 45 minutes.  Remove the chicken and 2 cups of the chicken cooking broth from the pot.  When the chicken is cool, remove the skin and pick out the meat (a mix of dark and white) to make 2 generous cups.  Discard the bones and skin, but not the chicken broth. You will need the broth to cook the spaghetti.

 

Cook the spaghetti in the chicken cooking broth until al dente.  Do not overcook.  When the spaghetti is cooked, combine with the chicken, 2 cups of the cheese, the green peppers, red peppers, seasoned salt, cayenne, soup and onions, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Stir in 1 cup of the reserved chicken cooking broth, adding an additional cup if needed.  Place the mixture in a 9- by 13-inch casserole pan and top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.  Bake immediately until bubbly, about 45 minutes.  (If the cheese on top starts to get too dark, cover with foil.)

LEGO - Free Mini Build Today (Jan 7th 2014)

Our family has frequented the LEGO stores monthly free mini builds since our boys were small.  These amazingly organized events are at your local LEGO store nationwide and provide your kids with a great field trip adventure.  Kids learn engineering, math, science, and life skills like following instructions provided by others as a result of these events.

Today, Jan 7th 2014, the Lego Stores will be providing kids with a snow plow mini kit to take home with no obligation.  Arrive early as the line builds pretty extensive and the stores offer only a limited quanity so first come first serve.  I have not seen an instance where the stores were out of the kits however that is our experience at our local store.

Free printable and a calendar offered by John Wayne Airport Orange County, California

 

When I travel via airplane, I am always in a hurry. My mind is filled with checklists and more checklists to make sure I don't forget anything. I rush to get to the airport on time. Then, I rush to get through security and checked in. When I finally get through and sit down to wait for my flight, I am tired. By then my kids are full of energy but I am not. I am sure this happens to many of us parents. This week I found this great link on the John Wayne Airport website to keep the kids entertained and happy. All you need is crayons and a folder to keep the pages together. The booklet has several pages of coloring, puzzles, a map and a maze. I suggest you print it out and then make several copies for down time.  CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW:
