Mini Baked Chicken Tacos

What a week!

Yesterday I went to the doctor who told me that he is sure I have pneumonia, he gave me four medications and luckily the chest X-rays came back normal. This morning I went and picked Jace up from his Nana who had him for two weeks. Jace cried and cried and cried, he had so much fun in Arizona and misses his Nana so so much already. 

I have thousands of emails to catch up on but decided instead to write a blog because I have another delicious recipe to share. A few nights ago I made these Baked Chicken Tacos from Alese (who makes amazing recipes by the way) and these were super easy to make. I have never baked tacos using an upside down muffin tin, but what a perfect way to make them! I love mini tacos because they are filling, but easy to eat, and not too messy. Baked tacos were perfect for these - it was like a chicken caesar salad in a taco - a very unique twist. Technically you can make any type of taco you want, even the original (ground beef, ground turkey), but I wanted to try something different, and a little healthier. This was the first time I used Mr. Tortilla tortillas and they were perfect for something like this. I didn't serve anything with these because they were filling and perfect on their own. Feel free to top them with your own toppings - sour cream, taco sauce, lettuce, or tomatoes.  

Ingredients:
1 cup shredded chicken
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup bacon bits
1/4 cup Caesar dressing
8 Mr. Tortilla multigrain tortillas - found in my Amazon storefront HERE
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions:
Mix together chicken, mozzarella, bacon and Caesar dressing. (photo pictured without chicken but I did add it after).

The filling for Mini Baked Chicken Tacos

Melt butter and garlic powder in the microwave in 30 seconds until butter is completely melted. Dip tortilla in butter mixture and place in an upside down muffin tin. 

Divide chicken mixture between tortillas. 

Mini Baked Chicken Tacos

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

If you make these, let me know in the comments below. We found these DELICIOUS. We topped ours with lettuce and taco sauce and that was really all we needed. So good!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
