Tacos, Vodka, and Apples Oh MY!

So... 

I totally celebrated yesterday 

and today...

I just forgot to post until around 3 this morning

when I frantically 

awoke from my slumber

and 

accidentally waking my 2 month old in the process

talking about blogging. 

Dedicated much? 

I was seriously kicking myself over 

that all day. 

The Duke told me not to beat myself up, 

that it's an honest mistake 

and that 

you all would forgive me. 

Right?

Alright. 

Now to the important stuff

National Days! 

Yesterday was 

National Taco Day 

and 

National Vodka Day

 

So, since it was a beautiful fall day out 

we took to the streets to see what our local Fringe Festival

was all about, and while there Vodka was celebrated.  

The Duke's vodka mix poured by a bartender at a fabulous little restaurant in our town.

 At home, tacos were on the menu, and

the whole family pitched in to cook dinner.

It turned out great! 

TACOS!!! Delicioso!

This dinner has made me a big fan 

of tacos and I look forward to implementing 

"Taco Tuesday" once or twice a month!

Okay, let's move on to today!

Today was 

National Apple Betty Day. 

I'm going to be honest. I'd never 

heard of Apple Betty until today,

but I'm really happy that today was that day. 

Where we live it was super cold today, 

so I just wanted to do nothing but 

hang out at home and snuggle, 

but since we have athletes in the house 

I spent the day at their games outside. 

 So let me just say that I was extremely happy to 

bake tonight. 

This went in my oven. Ingredients: 4 apples (peeled and cored), 3/4 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 stick of softened butter, 1/4 cups of orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg

This came out of my oven! Mmmmmm!

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375

2.  Add the peeled and cored apples to a buttered pie dish and pour the OJ on top. Mix well and set aside. 

3. . Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix until crumbly. 

4. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the apples and make sure to cover it good (it's not a pie, but that crust is the bomb.com, you'll love it!)

5. Put it in the oven for 45 minutes. 

After you take it out 

bowl it up and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or cool whip! 

Enjoy! 

Tomorrow is 

National Noodle Day

I'm going to have fun with that one. 

See ya then!
