Beef.Week 8, Day 4
Also called Easy Tacos! All you need is some minced beef or chicken, and a yummy assortment of veggies… I bet your kids would love it!
Ingredients:
Old el Paso Taco Kit
green onions
frozen spinach
chopped broccoli
carrots
cubed avocados
sliced or grated cheese
sour cream
chopped red peppers
Guidelines:
Prepare the meat and tacos according to the directions on the packaging
When the meat is cooked, add in frozen spinach and let cook until the spinach melts
I like to put the veggies into little bowls and get the kids to put them on the table (they really love that)
Let everyone make their own tacos!!
Choose veggies that your kids would like, it’s a great, fun and easy dinner!
Some general information about authentic tacos.

Chicken.Week 8, Day 3
My eldest son and I love Indian food, while ironically, my real Indian husband does not! Weird, I know.
So one day, I convinced my son to request that his dad get Indian food for us for dinner, come on… the kid will surely have better luck than me! We got Tandori chicken and my son loved it so much that he always asks for “Indian Chicken”! I wanted to cook it for him, but I didn’t have the Tandori seasoning, so I used regular Patak’s Madras Curry and yogurt, which we now call “Indian Chicken”.
Ingredients:
Patak’s Madras Curry Paste
chicken leg & thighs
yogurt
Guidelines:
Add about 2 tbsp of curry paste to 10 chicken pieces
Add in 1/4 cup of yogurt, and mix well
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a glass baking dish until cooked
We served it with rice and steamed broccoli, it was quite yummy and one of the easiest ways to cook!

Lamb.Week 8. Day 2
With the leftover lamb that I had from the previous meal, I decided to just slice it up and add it to some noodles!
Ingredients:
Lamb strips (leftovers work great)
Noodles
Hoisin sauce
Sesame oil
Soy sauce
garlic
broccoli
Guidelines:
In a medium sized saucepan, heat up a little olive oil and add in crushed garlic
Saut� the chopped broccoli, and add in the lamb strips
Add the Hoisin sauce
Add a few drops of sesame oil
Add in the noodles
Add enough water for the noodles to cook, and then drizzle soy sauce over it and mix well
Add salt and pepper to taste
Remove once the noodles are cooked
I know, I know… I am kind of cheating, but you know how it is the week after you’re back from vacation!

Lamb.Week 8, Day 1
My blog buddy Kai suggested that home-style fries made with sweet potatoes are yummy, so I decided to give it a try!
It was really yummy, my husband loved it, but the kids still didn’t :( I will make it again though! thanks Kai!
Indian Fried Lamb
Ingredients:
Shan Fry Lamb seasoning (which I cannot find, please email me if anyone knows where I can find it online)
Lamb steaks
Guidelines:
This is so totally simple, I just marinated the lamb steaks with the seasoning and a little olive oil
Since I hate to fry stuff, I just baked the lamb in a dark colored baking dish until cooked

Beef.Week 7, Day 4
My cousin’s house was about an hour away from the resort, so we were invited to dinner one night. She served a Pakistani dish called Kima, and although I did ask for her recipe, we just had so much fun laughing and chatting that we totally forgot about it.
So, of course, being the resourceful person that I am, I found a Kima recipe just for you!
It was really tasty!
