Tasty Lentil Tacos

The name, Tasty Lentil Tacos, may sound at first like an oxymoron.  

But it is not.  

I've been making this thrifty and healthy taco filling for years and we always enjoy it.

This is my plate from tonight.  

The lentils are in the middle with fresh salsa made from our backyard tomatoes.

The chips are Mission extra thin corn tortillas- cut in eighths, lightly brushed with olive oil and baked until crisp.  

Jeff ate his lentils rolled in tortillas with the chips and salsa on the side.

Its a simple recipe,  just lentils cooked in chicken broth seasoned with onions, chili powder, cumin, oregano and a little garlic.  

my copy of the recipe-from AllRecipes.com 

but when I looked for a link to it earlier in the week,  the recipe there was a little different.  

See, this one I printed off was rated 5 out of 5 stars by 63 members.  

We are not the only people who Lentil Tacos are tasty!  

Pacifier clips

When we saw grand daughter Andie last week,  she was wearing a patriotic pacifier clip to match her patriotic outfit.  The clip was gift from one of her mom's customers.

The clip is so handy in keeping Andie's pacifier off the floor.

Her parents said they would like to have one "in every color"  

So,  I looked online for instructions to make some.  There are many tutorials out there. 

They are just a short piece of fabric or ribbon with a velcro loop on one end to the pacifier and a clip on the other end to fasten to the baby's clothing.   

I found this pack of ironing board clips at JoAnns for $3.99- with enough clips to make 8
it was the best way  I found to get the most clips for the smallest price  

I made 4
black & white,  green & yellow,  pink and lavender.

They were very quick to make -
