Valentines

I was so excited to put together Valentines for Brody's Kindergarten class. I wanted to do something other than candy so of course I turned to Pinterest. Here is what I did.

I took red paper and cut it into small cards 

 Then I simply wrote a silly Valentine "You're all that and a bag of chips!" 

 

 Staple it to a bag of chips and BAM you got yourself a  Valentine. 

 

Brody was NOT happy about this being his Valentine to give to the class. He wanted to give candy. I assured him that this was a great gift. I tried to explain to him why the card was funny but he didn't understand. His older friend Emilee explained to him "Brody this is really funny! Last year, a kid gave us toothbrushes, you DONT want to be that guy. You're the chip guy! That's awesome!" He still wasnt convinced. Then when he handed them out in class a few kids told him it was cool so he was finally happy about it.

Taco Bites

I made these yesterday on Super Bowl Sunday. However, I did not make them for the big game but for later that night. We needed a post game snack. We were so worked up and hungry after the team named after and animal won the big sportsing game. 

Here is what you'll need:

1 pound of ground turkey or beef

one packet of taco seasoning 

tomato chopped

onion chopped

cilantro

sour cream

black or pinto beans

won ton wrappers

grated cheese 

 Brown the meat, drain the fat, add taco season, add 1/2 cup water and then let it cook for a few min. 

 Preheat oven to 350.

 Place won ton wrapper in a mini cupcake tin like so

I like to do them every other so they have some space. Place a "dollop"of beans on the bottom, followed by your ground meat. Add a little but of grated cheese to the top and bake at 350 for 7-8 min. 

Add all your favorite toppings: tomato, onion, cilantro, sour cream.... you can even add the evil olive if you want.

So yummy and so easy to make.
