Mini Taco Salad Bowls

I started making a different meal and it kind of morphed into this. 

  I used mini spring form pans to make tortillas into a bowl shape.  I then put them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 8minutes until golden brown.

 

While the tortillas were in the oven I browned, drained and taco seasoned a pound of ground beef.

 

 

In a large mixing bowl I combined 2 heads of chopped romaine lettuce, one can of black beans rinsed and drain, one chopped tomato and 1/2 cup of corn.

 

Then I put everything together in the tortilla bowl and added shredded cheese.  My husband loved it.

Bed Skirt (no sewing)

I have been working on decorating my girls' room.  I showed you the quilt for one of my daughter's last week.  I then made a bed skirt to complete the bed.  I made a tutu bed skirt.  It was really easy, a little time consuming (put on whatever TV show you need to catch up on) and cost less then $10.

First I cut two strands of yarn the length of the bed, then I cut 6 yards of tulle into 2-3 inch thick strips and then cut again in half length wise.  Then I just started tying on the tulle onto the yarn.

With how the bed is built I hammered in nails in different parts of the bed and wrapped the yarn around each nail for the length of the bed.

All it needed was a little fluffing and it was ready to go.

Homemade Fruit Snacks

So I have been seeing this all over pinterest for homemade fruit snacks.  I found that it looked really easy so I tried it, the recipe is here.  My kids, and husband loved them.  I thought that they were good but tasted like really stiff jello jigglers.
