Life Through Linds' Lens

Do you like tacos, but you're lazy as heck?  Or maybe you don't have the most sophisticated cooking skills? Have no fear, I am here to save your Taco Tuesday. Here is how you can make quick and simple tacos. What you'll need: Meat of your choice (hamburger, turkey, chicken, etc.) Taco seasoning packet Taco shells/tortillas Shredded cheese Rice Beans Lettuce Tomato Onion Sour cream Taco sauce Salsa Anything else you like to put on your tacos You can do the traditional beef/turkey taco meat made with a taco seasoning packet and just follow the directions on the packet, but for this example I used chicken. I cut up some chicken breast, threw it in a pan with some olive oil and salt and pepper, and let it cook a few minutes until all the pink was gone.

Let's Flamingle! I graduated college in May and, per the usual fashion, had a graduation party in July. Because I have a weird obsession (don’t judge me) with flamingos and because I’m extra (sue me) my graduation party was a tropical/flamingo extravaganza. I don’t think anyone has ever seen more flamingos. After spending countless hours pinning every flamingo thing I found on Pinterest it was time to hit the stores. I visited Joann Fabrics, Target, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Old Time Pottery, Party City, and the Dollar Store. I apologize in advance for some of the lighting in the photos. Everything in the above photo I found in the "Dollar Spot" at Target. It's a great place to find cheap decorations for any event. I found the pink banner at the store (Party City I believe) and then cut out the numbers and grad caps from poster board and tapped them. Just like that: a cheap, easy, personalized banner.
