It's no secret that I do not know how to cook - and rarely ever do! However, last night I was in charge of feeding the babes and they requested tacos. Not just ordinary tacos, but "spicy" tacos. So being the good mama that I am, I did my best to accommodate them.
First, I got all my ingredients together:
Next I browned the hamburger, and made the rice. Now the rice can be tricky. You have to bring it to a boil, then turn it down and simmer for 25 minutes covered. Then you need to uncover it and let it thicken for about 10 minutes. I of course can never wait the 10 minutes for it to thicken, so my rice is always watery - but still tasty.

Colton was beyond excited with the red "spicy" shells. FYI - the shells are NOT spicy at all - just RED. However, try convincing a 7-year old of that - doesn't work.
He assembled his masterpieces and she hers (which was dripping with Spicy Ranch Sauce).
I made my plate with the "broken" shells that the kids would not take!

Good for you! I find it hard during the week, and I don't even work (outside the house). Everyone is going every which way at dinner time -- bravo for not just going to Taco Bell!!
Aww this reminds me of when I was younger and my mom would make the best meal and we would give her all sorts of compliments, hehe.
I look forward to the day I have kiddos and they tell me how much they love something I make :)
