Taquitos are very easy. The key is the actual inside ingredients and the frying technique. And look, I did a video on how to make the taquito! Here’s the really informal recipe and directions for the chicken. Boil a few chicken breasts, on low, with chicken bouillon for at least an hour. Shred the chicken [...]
Homemade tortilla chips are a necessary addition to taco night in my house. I’m pretty sure that these tortilla chips will beat out any restaurant chip you can find. I’m willing to call this homemade salsa recipe pretty darn good too. Ingredients 12 corn tortillas (each tortilla makes 4-5 chips) 2-3 c. Vegetable oil salt [...]
If I can ever find a spare moment I’m going to open a taco truck with these puppies. It’s a recipe (give or take) that has been passed down through my family for as long as I can remember. And as long as I can remember tacos have been my favorite food. IN. THE. WORLD! [...]
When I make this salsa I get requests for leftovers. Requests to “jar this stuff.” I am pretty sure that I owned a very successful Mexican restaurant in a past life. And, there is still time for me to own one in this life too! I would absolutely LOVE to open a small hole in [...]

I have been wanting to make this bretzel roll, or pretzel bread, for a loooooooong while and I finally got a chance to do it this weekend. These pretzel rolls got a “you should make these more often” from the boys too! I’ve seen these pretzel rolls served in restaurants as an appetizer, but I’ve [...]
Who doesn’t love Smarties?!?! I have incorporated an all-time favorite into an all-time favorite; cupcakes!! This recipe is so great and you can make it with any color at all so that it can be used for any occasion or holiday! Blue/Red for July 4th, orange/yellow for Halloween, green/red for Christmas… Cupcake Ingredients: 1 box [...]
I got this recipe from Betty Crocker.com. I’ve noticed that this recipe calls for egg whites and that the banana cream pie, or rice pudding calls for egg yolks so maybe you should make both so you don’t waste the eggs. Bones made this angel food cake for us a few weeks ago and he [...]
