It's TaCo TuEsDaY, y'all!! Thanks to the Lego Movie for that little inspiration, we've dubbed Tuesdays "Taco Tuesday". The kids love it because it's from the Lego movie and they love tacos. I love it because Qdoba has a special of $1 tacos and I don't have to cook. If we don't head to The Q (or "The Cactus Place" as my kids call it), then I make something in the crockpot. I throw in 2-3 frozen Trader Joes chicken breasts (still frozen!), 1/2 bag of frozen corn, a can of rinsed TJs black beans, sometimes a block of cream cheese, and some seasonings- chili powder (1T), cyannne pepper (4tsp), cumin (2T), salt, and pepper. I used to measure it out but it was way too spicy for me (my family didn't seem to mind too much, though!) so now I just eyeball it. I cook it on low for about 6 hours and we eat it in tortillas, or I make tiny taco bowls for the kids using Tostitos scoops- add a dollop of sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt!) and a sprinkle of cheese and faster then you can say "'Ole!" you have Taco Tuesday! Put on some Mexican music and it's a party!
Ok- on to lunches today:
Wegmans organic berry lemonade, TJs chewy chocolate chip cookies (SO YUM!!), mandarin oranges, and DIY Lunchables- there's TJs pepperoni, TJs Colby cheese, and TJs butter crackers. The girls love it because it's yummy and fun to put together...I love it because it's so easy to pack! Have a happy Tuesday!
