Recipe Ideas: Mexican Chicken Tacos-Taco Tuesday
Happy Taco Tuesday! Does anyone else love to celebrate? Believe it or not, I’m good for eating a solid 4 tacos per sitting. And, that’s before Margaritas! 😉 We always have plenty of beef in the freezer, so I usually fix tacos that way. However, once in a while we like a changeup and do…

DIY Gift Ideas: Homemade Vanilla Extract
You can just call me Martha Stewart this Christmas season. I didn’t have luck baking her cookies back when I was in high school [just ask my dad], but I’m all about the DIY gifts currently. I first learned about homemade vanilla extract from Darylann Denner a few months ago. I’m always a sucker for…
