I spent the afternoon going back and forth between my microbiology book and the kitchen. I made chili for dinner tomorrow night! I am so excited because this is something I have been wanting to make for a long time. Unfortunately, as I’ve mentioned, Dave doesn’t like anything with any kick to it. He thinks toothpaste is too spicy! So I’ve held off making chili. But after seeing Heather’s chili make several appearances over the last week, I couldn’t stand it anymore! She said it was much better the next day, so I cooked it up and tomorrow, I’ll rewarm it in the slowcooker while I’m at class. I’ll show you my creation tomorrow and tell you why I have been searching for the perfect chili for 7 years! Maybe I’ve found it….
Because I had to buy some chili ingredients, I found myself in the mexican aisle of the store and before I could think twice, I was putting taco shells in my basket too. I haven’t had tacos in ages and I love them! But alas….another thing Dave would prefer not to have. Poor Dave, with tacos on the brain, I had to satisfy the craving. Here’s the spread:
- Spinach
- Peppers and Onions
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- steamed broccoli sprouts
- spicy tomatoes
- plain tomatoes
- chicken with a little bit of taco seasoning (for Dave)
- Soy crumbles with lots of taco seasoning (for me!)
- cheese (missing from the picture)
- taco shells
My tacos had everything in them!
Dave’s had chicken, a couple pieces of tomato, and cheese. Not his favorite dinner. But I loved it!
One more spicy dinner for Dave tomorrow, and then I’ll spare him the rest of the week.
I got a lot done today and feel very productive. The house is vacuumed, my take home test for microbiology is done almost done, I got my cracked windshield fixed, hit up the grocery store, and made 2 dinners. Phew! I’ve earned an evening in from of the tv with my boys.
Believe it or not there are 2 boys intertwined here…
My third boy is warming the couch for me right now! Have a great night everyone! 
i love productive days!! love the mexican lovin..so good!
Unfortunately I’m with Dave on the spice (but I do love tacos!). We order Pad Thai with zero stars and no onions. How bland can you get! But I love it.
I think toothpaste is too spicy too! haha!
Glad you got everything accomplished in one day. Good luck on the take home test!
Awww I love the pic of the “boys”
I have been on a mexican kick too! yours looks delish!
Good luck on the test!
I heart spicy.
I love taco nights!! I could eat mexican food every. single. night!! Good luck on your test!! Such a sweet kitty picture!!
Sounds like a very productive day! now I am craving tacos!
Your taco spread is so neat and organized. I don’t want to show you my setup when I make them. LOL.
But I think part of my problem is that I love tacos so much that I’m just too excited to start eating!
Love your taco toppings! I love tacos and don’t eat them enough.
Can’t wait to hear about your chili!
Lately I haven’t been able to get enough spice, I love it!
Tacos look awesome! Good ideas for me to change it up!
What? NO Crescent rolls?? I can see why it wasn’t his favorite…haha
The tacos looks wonderful. I love that you added spinach to them. Since I was young I have always preferred soft shells, but now that I am not eating wheat it seems more convenient to get the hard shells. I purchased some corn soft shells from TJs but I find that I don’t like them as much as the hard shells, so I am baking them and turning them into chips!
Have a nice day Shannon!
I love taco night!! man, I’ve been craving crunchy tortilla something fierce. I’m not much of a super spicy lover, but I do enjoy a little kick
