ZESTY CITRUS TACOS

Reflect back to our Italian Orange chicken recipe a few nights ago....

Yummy right!

Pictures taken not so pretty but the dish itself is so good!

I'm all about being as useful and frugal as I possibly can...

Since I was grilling the chicken - I figured - might as well go ahead and cook enough for another meal!

Frugal Tip

Plan meals according to sales

Notice the chicken & orange theme this week...

...Yep both on sale

*less than 10 min to prepare

*cook till veggies are tender!

*slice already grilled chicken (4 chicken breast), tomatoes, onions & garlic

*add one can of green salsa, zest of one orange (I also garnished with sour cream-yummy!!) & juice of 1 orange

....also a low calorie meal depending of your sides and serving size of meat.

Approx 375 calories for 2 tacos

Servings size 8 tacos

 

 

 

Burlap no sew curtains

BURLAP  NO SEW CURTAINS:

My burlap ran me about $1.98 a yard.

I bought 5 yards because I always go over board like that.

These curtains were inspired by my moma.

Cut your burlap to the length you like- add about 2 feet to roll up, if you're going for that look.

Fringe the edges so you don't have that- I just cut that look.

Cut the string. I bought the expensive 10 cents a yard kind.

I'm not even telling you how many yards of that I bought! :)

Remember you have to double the string or ribbon that you get.

The gold clips are a pain to sqeeze but you can do it!

As you can see, I went with the gold rod and hooks - they were the cheapest.

I didn't want to spend a great deal on something that could end up in the garbage.

Lay string down, then material, roll up bottom, then bring string up to meet top. At this point burlap material should be sandwiched in between strings.

Clip together and hang.

                                                     

Waaalaaa, just made the cheapest curtain known to man.

These curtain work for me.

 I'm pretty casual and so is my home.

If you're all fancy smancy, I'd probably opt for something else

-but I love them on the door.

I may try some in the dining room next week.

 After all, it's about to be painted beach blue.

P.S I did the dining room. Love it.
