Yummies Made From Home

 Happy Tuesday everyone.  I hope you are all well and safe.  I know I keep mentioning it, but I am worried about many of our contributors/family.  It sure seems the spring storm season has been extra turbulent this year and very devastating. Check in if possible.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  It has messed me up again!!  I have my days mixed up again - makes no sense, because I do not work, but it happens every holiday!  I keep thinking today is Monday.

I spent 2 days relaxing a lot, porch sitting, and talking with neighbors.  Today it is back to work for me here on the home front.

It looks to be a lovely weather week here - very mild.  Good week to work outside.

I want to share a couple of goodies I mentioned in my Sunday post that I made last week.  SO easy using what I had here at home - and very tasty as well!

HOMEMADE TAQUITOS

Not my picture (I forgot because I was hungry!) - but mine looked just like this.  A little fatter than what you buy in the freezer section.

I had everything here. I used the air fryer as well - so no grease.

I used 6" tortillas.  I made up some taco meat and used shredded cheese and homemade/canned salsa.

You could use bigger or smaller tortillas - depending on what you have.

In an open flat tortilla, I placed a line of taco meat, cheese and salsa.  Then I rolled them as tightly as possible.  I put in a warmed air fryer at 365* for 15 minutes (solid side up).  They came out nice and crunchy.  SO yummy.

You could put anything you like in them.  Chicken, taco meat, cheese, cream cheese, salsa, enchilada sauce, beans, rice, etc.

DO NOT over fill!  You put a small amount so as to be able to roll up small and tightly.

YUM!!!!!

I also made SORBET using what I had on hand.

I used a banana I had getting ripe, and about 5 or 6 strawberries I had left and the scrapings from the watermelon to get it all.  I also used the juice from the watermelon.

I know it may sound like a strange combo - but it sure is tasty.

I put all the fruit in the Ninja added the watermelon juice, then a good splash of lemon juice, and 2 packets of Stevia - blended until smooth.  That is it!

You can use any kind of fruit you have, add any type of juice (water can even be used), and a good splash of lemon juice and a bit of sweetener.  Pour into a container and freeze.

I let it set out a few minutes before eating, so it can be scooped out easily.  As you can see by above picture - I have eaten some (2X) from this container.

It is cold and frosty and refreshing AND EASY! And HEALTHY!!

**Not ice cream like - but a cold somewhat crunchy treat.

It is so easy to use up what you have and make new things.  Just take a moment and think about something you like, but don't usually buy - then make it yourself!

Get creative.  Life is boring if we don't try new things.

This was my first time on both of these items, and I was super pleased with the outcome both times.

Have fun, get creative, use what you have, and save some $$$.

Have a wonderful day all!
