Taco Night!

I really enjoy Taco Night. It is one of my favorite meals to have. It is really easy to prepare and there seems to always be leftovers for lunch the next day.

Some items that I include for my tacos

Ground Deer meat
Rice
Black beans
refried beans
olives
salsa
lettuce
cheese
tomatoes
onions

The possibilities are endless!

Pink and Green Baby Shower

Elizabeth Anne hasn't even been born yet but she sure does have a fan club already! I had the privilege of helping throw a baby shower for a very good friend of mine this weekend. I was put in charge of decorations and I am so glad that I was. I had so much fun creating and making the decor! The mother-to-be's favorite colors are pink and green so that was the color scheme.

The place mats where used as stationary for the guests to write some mother advise or a sweet note to the mother-to-be

silverware was put in folded pink napkins tried with ribbon and placed on top of decorative napkins

Guest favors. Mint candy inside

Centerpieces where made out of flower pots and feathers to match the table runners

The Mother-to-be got her very own crown

The tables where covered in bright green wrapping paper

Hand made table runners to match the other decorations

The shower was at a local Olive Garden

The Cake! I did not make the cake but is matched perfectly!

RAW Dehydrated Pineapple Slices

My husband got these at a whole foods store when we were in NM and asked me to make them for him. I really like how they turned out; almost like a fruit roll up.

Take a can of pineapple slices in juice and place them on a dehydrator sheet. I sprinkled mine with xylitol sweetener. Turn the dehydrator on to about 110 degrees and leave overnight or until desired texture. I think I left mine about 20 hours.

RAW Flax/Chia Crackers

If you know all the benefits that chia and flax seeds have to offer I think you will really enjoy this recipe. It is supper easy and can be stored for weeks.

I soaked about 1 cup of flax seeds in about 2 cups of water for at least 2 hours. The longer the better I think. Right before spreading the mixture onto the dehydrator sheets I added 1 cup of chia seeds. I also added a Tbsp of turmeric and some salt and red pepper. You can add whatever spices you like best. Salt and pepper is pretty good too. After mixing everything well I spread it out onto the dehydrator sheets. Set your temperature to about 110 degrees and leave overnight, or until very dry.
Right after you spread the mixture you can score it so that it is easier to break after it is dried.
