sunday project: ROCK MAGNETS

I like to get all kinds of crafty on sundays, it makes me feel like I did something productive. So I did this. I was looking at magnets for the fridge for my son but I thought this could be a diy project and this is what I came up with. rock magnets! I cleaned and dried rocks and used a sharpie to write each letter. Then, I used my hot glue gun to glue magnets to the back and there you go,
Now im just hoping my son plays with them instead of eat them. Happy Sunday :)

Todays lunch: pizza roll ups!

Wonton mini tacos recipe from muffin tin


Do you ever get tired of the same old taco recipe? I sure do. I love tacos dont get me wrong but after eating them for 21 years of life i was getting pretty tired of them untill this. These are mini tacos in wonton wrappers which save you a ton of greasy fat & calories!
I got the wonton wrappers at walmart for about 3 dollars but you get a TON of them and ill be using them for other recipes.

 Prepare meat as usual, in the meantime pre heat the oven to the tempurature on the wonton package (mine said 425 degrees.) As the meat is cooking use egg white to brush onto each individual wonton wrapper and then push into muffin pan leaving the middle to fill with taco filling. Drain meat and return to pan and mix with seaoning. Now take the meat and scoop it into each individual wrapper. bake for about 8 minutes or untill the edges of the wrapper are golden brown. Take out and add toppings of your choice. They were so good ill deffinantly be doing this again.

DIY cleaner

 
So they say that the best moms have dirty floors & messy counters, which is extremely true in this case. My whole kitchen consist of tile on all the counters. I usually buy a spray bottle of some kind of cleaner to clean the counter with but today I tried this lovely combination. Simple green, distilled white vinegar, water, and some lemon peels (for smell). I mixed these all into a spray bottle and seriously this is the greatest cleaner ever it does have somewhat of a strong smell but i have tons of windows in my kitchen so it airs out quickly. I had to use a sponge on some tough spots but boy are my counters clean!
 

Frozen yogurt bites from yoplait yogurt!

So I always buy my son the Gerber brand yogurt bites and i was trying to find a way to make my own and make them better on top of that so me & him BOTH could eat them. I seen this idea on pinterest, once again, and decided to give it a try.
Youll need:
  • one container of yoplait yogurt, your choice, I used orange cream.
  • a plastic bag
  • a cup
  • siccors
  • a metal pan
So first youll need to take the cup and line it with the plastic bag
Next, fill the cup lined with plastic with the yogurt of your choice. Take the plastic bag out and cut a TINY corner of the tip of the bag so you can squeez it out to make the dots.
Put in the freezer for 1 hour and enjoy. Eat them fast they'll melt quickly on a hot day!
 

bbq chicken pizza

This is another EASY EASY dinner. I bought the pizza crust from walmart it was about 3$ i used sweet baby rays bbq sauce (my favorite) and i cut up some fresh pineapple to put on half. I also used motzerella and parmesan cheese. Pretty self explanitory. It was really good between my son(hes 1), my husband and I there was only one piece left. Perfect for a weekend night or just a lazy dinner night :)
