Homemade Tacos

I'm back... This time I cooked Homemade Tacos for our little family, it's one of our FAVORITE meals!!! We love taco night at home, even the kids love it because they get to enjoy making their own however they like it... 

So let's get started on how to make them.. 

Ingredients: 

1 lbs Hamburger 
1 package of Taco seasoning (what ever type you like original, mild, medium, hot) we use mild because of the children. 
2 Packs Taco Shells (We use those new soft bowels they have became our favorite) 
Lettuce 
Tomatoes 
Cucumbers 
Can of Corn 
Shredded Cheese 
Taco sauce (We use the Tacobell sauce that you buy in a bottle at the store) 

Directions: 
Brown your hamburger drain, and add in the taco seasoning with 3/4 cup of water. Let it start boiling and then simmer for 5 mins.

Chop up your tomatoes and cucumbers how ever you like then cut. 

I use really pretty glass bowels to add all our topping in its own bowel and place in the center of our table.. 

My husband likes our shells heated for 10 seconds too, so they don't fall apart.. 

Then you have everything placed on the table and enjoy building your tacos as a family.. 

I know cucumbers and corn sound weird on tacos but it's really good, if your up for trying something new this would be it.. Sometimes we also use Doritos on our tacos too.. 

Thank You for stopping by I hope you enjoy and I'll be back again with something new soon!! :-)

Making Tea!

Today I want to talk about making tea! :-) 

Does your family love drinking sweet tea, iced tea whatever tea it would be? Well my family does and we drink a whole lot of it too! 

So that leaves me making tea almost everyday, if not everyday then every other day. 

I make my tea by boiling my water and tea bags on the stove and then making it in my pitcher with sugar.. I don't have a fantasy tea maker, I used to but it broke and so I just haven't gotten another one! 

But when I make my tea I have this problem that I ALWAYS ALWAYS bust the tea bags. Then my tea is left with tea leafs floating all in it, and we have to drink them also. 

My family doesn't like when that happens so today when I made tea, I really tired not to bust the bags. BUT.... That didn't work and they still busted.. Lol.. 

So not wanting to leave the leafs floating around, I thought of this thing I saw my babysitter doing when I grew up and I gave it a try... 

She used to rubber band paper towels over her tea pitcher and pour the tea through it to catch the leaves. 

So I tired that my own way, I took this really thin kitchen towel I had just pulled out of the clean towels and rubber banes it over the pitchers. Then slowly I started to pour the tea on to the towel and it slowly went into the pitcher leaving the leafs on the towel.. 

This is a slow process, because if you go too fast you'll spill most your tea down the sink because it runs through slowly! So take your time!! 

When you are almost finished and your new pitcher is filled with tea and it's touching the towels you'll have to pull it tight to let the tea go through it and not stay a little puddle.. 

But once your done with it the towel will be filled with the tea leaves and your tea will have none, just rinse the towel with water and throw it in the laundry to be washed!! 

I know some are probably thinking it's easier not to busted the tea bags, well yes I know but I am the worst for it so this is how I fix the problem!!! 

Have a good day please comment if you tired and liked this idea or if you know something you would like me to try and see how it works out...
