Taco Night

We had taco night Thursday night. Oh yummy, we love tacos. The "meat" was Tac-O's and topped with taco sauce, avacado chunks, onion, shredded spinach and tomatos. I served this with refried beans, Mexican rice and clementines.

This is by far the best Mexican Rice I have ever made. Of course I didn't follow the directions but then again I never do. My changes are in red.

Mexican Rice Recipe

* 1 teaspoon of salt (omitted but won't next time)

* 1 clove garlic, minced (1 tsp which equals about 2 cloves)

* 3 tablespoons cooking oil (omitted)

* 1 cup uncooked rice (brown rice)

* 2 cups chicken broth (veggie)

* 1/2 cup tomato puree or can tomato (fire roasted tomatoes)

* 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

* 1/2 cup chopped onion

Instructions:

Heat oil. Add rice and cook until golden. Add & sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Add Salt, tomato and broth in blender. Add to rice, cook until tender and liquid is absorbed.Cooking time 20 minutes over low heat. (Threw everything in a rice cooker, flipped it on and let it cook.)

Zucchini Crab Cakes

For lunch we had Dill's favorite lunch in the entire world. Zucchini crab cakes. I couldn't find the folder that had our usual recipe in it (until after lunch) so made another one found on the internet. It wasn't as good but we ate them any way. Dill asked if we could have crab cakes again on Thursday. ;-)With the crab cakes I served homemade tarter sauce, canned peaches, carrot chips with homemade chunky dip.
