Carne Asada tacos in the crock pot

Best ever tacos made from the crockpot! 

Carne  Asada steak (I buy the thin meat from Costco and freeze a few slices in baggies then take one bag out when I need it)

Taco seasoning

1 can Black beans 

1 can diced tomatoes with chilies

1/2 cup salsa 

Combine everything into crockpot no need to unfreeze the meat. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Serve on fried corn tortillas with any toppings you like on tacos.

Better then chicken tacos in the crockpot  

Sugar cookies

I was making some sugar cookies for Amanda's girls when they were spending a couple of nights with us.   I had found a Hello Kitty sugar cookie kit and wanted to make them. Amanda's girls LOVE Hello Kitty.  I rolled out the dough and cut out the cookies with the cookie cutter.  Well you know how the cookies flatten out while they are cooking, when I pulled them out of the oven they were pretty much shapeless.  I was holding the cookie cutter up to see if it even looked like it should and my brother said hey why don't you just cut it again now while it is hot.  So I tried that and voila it worked.  They turned out pretty cute I think!  Good idea huh!   Try it out.  

Dinner Ideas

I made a dinner idea calander. It has a main idea for every day. For example when it says chicken I can make BBQ chicken, chicken pot pie or chicken 

tacos. I then make my shopping list off of this. I am thinking I will laminate it and write what I plan for dinner on the box for that night.
