Mini Tacos!!!!!!!

So I've decided while I'm here in the great state of Texas, I'm going to do some DIY and recipe posts. I love looking on pintrest and seeing all the great ideas on other blogs so I thought Hey! Why not.
                                          So here's to the first of maybe many!


                                                              MINI TACOS




These are super fun for parties or starving families big or small. Very cheap doesn't take very long to make.

Ingredients: 1lb of hamburger
                   won ton wrappers (produce section of the grocery store)
                   shredded cheese (I used mexican blend)
                   diced canned green chilies (optional)
                   tomatoes (optional)
                   and whatever else you like on your tacos

So first you have to brown the hamburger. We added some taco seasonings, you don't have to though it's not a huge deal. Cook it all the way through because it doesn't spend very long in the oven. When the meat is done, put on the plate with paper towels to soak up as much oil as possible.
 
Preheat the oven to 350.

DON"T FORGET TO SPRAY YOUR MUFFIN TIN!!!
Oh yeah... we are using a muffin tin, sorry i should have mentioned that.

Poke the won ton wrappers in the muffin tins so that the corners kind of poke up. You know the big spoon and the little spoon int he silverware drawer? Use the big one to distribute the cooked hamburger meat in the middle of each wrapper. (You will have just a little meat left over after filling one whole muffin tin.)

After you have them all filled with meat, add the chilies and the cheese. A bit of cheese.

Place them in your preheated oven  for 10 minutes or until the corners that are poking up start to turn light brown. 

Because you sprayed your pan before hand, you can pull these little suckers out by their corners super easy. Plate, and add whatever taco garnishes you like! One of my favorite things about these tiny tacos is that the top of the won ton gets crunchy like a hard taco but the bottom is soft so it doesn't fall apart on the first bite! Or any bite actually unless you are a crazy eater. But anywhoodles, that's that! Easy, cheap, and Brad approved!

He's a little sleepy but important part is he loved them.

Jellyfish

**** PLEASE READ THE POST UNDER THIS FIRST... it will make a lot more sense.

The Beach

Brad didn't have work til 4 yesterday so we went to the beach! It was so lovely outside and the water was amazing! This was our first time taking Shelby to a lake or ocean and turns out she loves it!! She is a swimming fool. of course Brad and I HAVE to take a smooching picture along with just a happy one.

                                                                We love each other.

Last but certainly not least... we saw jellyfish. Quite a few jellyfish. While Shelby was swimming around, she would stop on the beach every once in a while and paw at something and then start swimming again. Turns out she was pawing at jellyfish which made me  nervous but they didn't seem to bother her at all so we just kept an eye on her.
   On another note... It made me think of this gold nugget... and yes I was singing this song in my head.

Home Alone

So Brad left to Texas on a Saturday... And I didn't get to leave til not the next Tuesday, but the Tuesday after because I still had 2 more finals left. Brad took the puppy too do that left me completely alone. Luckily my parents live close so I got to hang out with them and watch Mary for my mom. I can't really remember all that much what I did that week but I'll try my best.
One of my finals was for dance, the informal. I danced to "would I lie to you" by the Eurythmics. It was a really fun dance. I've never had to use attitude tap dancing before. Apparently
I'm not that good at it, but I'm practicing! (the video is on my Facebook wall).
I got my nails done. I watched a lot of Lie to Me ( a murder mystery show) I got to eat food that Bradley doesn't like, like panda express, spaghetti, and I even had a little extra crab than I'm usually allowed. :) I took tons of naps which made me stay up waaaay later than I normally can which did me no good with Brads time being 2 hours later than mine.
I went over to Christins house one night for a sleep over filled with $3.50 coconut bras, Friends, turning a dress into a skirt, and tying a quilt that should have been done years ago. It was a blast!
And that's about it! Hopefully we won't have to do this (being without each other for this long) again. I know it sounds sappy, but I missed him a lot and it was hard, but I was strong for strong for just over a week and that's enough being strong for this girl! ;)
