CopyCat Del Taco Chicken Tacos

Living in Arizona for 13 years of my adolescent life I grew up loving Del Taco. My parents would get take out there often. My sister, Michelle, that was her favorite taco out. If we did take out one night, Michelle always wanted Del Taco over anything else. She loves the chicken tacos. Now that I live in Ohio, Del Taco is not really out here. I have found 1 or 2 but they are some distance away from us. So, I decided to try and make that for my Sunday Family Movie night pick. Tonight, is my pick and I drew Mexican food so why not give it a try.  Marinade: 3 Large Chicken (I used thin chicken breast), diced 1 Lime, juiced 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning  1 tbsp Soy Sauce 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon Powder 1/4 tsp Paprika Place all ingredients above into a ziplock, shake well and marinade for 30 minutes to an hour. I found the longer the better flavor.  White Sauce: 1 cup Mayo 1 Lime, juiced Whisk together in a bowl until smooth, set aside until ready for assembly.

Homemade Vapor Rub

With winter fastly approaching us; parents are starting to stock up on winter medical items. Vapor rubs are always on anyone stock pile list; well making this item homemade, is fast, easy, and can extend your dollar. This vapor rub is extermely easy, and fast to make. I recommend letting the vapor rub sit a couple days in a cool area before using this. 

Step 1: Gather your ingredients and items for this; you need. Beeswax (8 tbsp), coconut oil (14 tbsp), Cocoa or shea butter (7 tbsp), and about 30 to 50 drops of essiental oils (I used peppermint, you can use whatever you feel is smoothing). {This is doubled recipe so you can store it longer through the winter}

Step 2: Get a pot of water, boiling, and place a container on top that is heat proof; making sure it does not touch the water; add your beeswax and allow to melt. Once melted add the coconut oil, and peppermint. 



Step 3: Place in container to for storage. Allow 48 hours to sit before using.

Here it is done!!
