“Nacho Ordinary Taco Night”
I know, I know, it’s so been done.
I still think it would’ve been cool.
Before I share a recipe with you, I want to tell you about my lil’ Pax who turned 9 months old a couple weeks ago.
What?! How is that possible?
Oh, and you know that LIE they tell you about 9 months to put on the weight and 9 months to get it off…..baloney, I say! My baby weight doesn’t leave until a week or two after I stop nursing, then BAM, 10 pounds gone. (Pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleeeeease, let it happen that way again!) Until then, I keep eating yummy food. Oh,who am I kidding, I eat yummy food after that too! I’m a foodie, what can I say? I love to eat!
Right now, Paxton is totally obsessed with two things:
{No, they are not his food source, although it’s fair to say he IS obsessed with “those” as well.}
It’s…..
He is so proud to be playing with “big kid” stuff! Sniff-sniff, my baby is growing up! 😦 He walks the perimeter of the train table destroying track as he goes.
He gets SO excited when the whistle goes off! Sweet boy.
“Look Momma, I got one!”
Next he heads over to the drums Tylan got from his Grandma. This kid can JAM! He gets those drums a goin’ and beep bops his little head to the beat, I love it! Of course, he has yet to do it for the video camera, that little stinker quits as soon as I get it out! I was lucky to get these few shots before he came over to see what I was doing!
“It’s nice that they provide this teether stick for me while I play the drums, mom.”
“Ooooh, I am supposed to hold it like this? Gotcha!”
Sweet, big boy!
He recently added high 5’s, waving Bye bye, and signing “All Done” to his repertoire of tricks. He is also walking all over the place! Grabbing whatever is nearby to get the job done……
On to the recipe part of this blog, Gorditas!!!! These little corn cups are a great way to rev up Taco night. I found them over on Mama J’s “A Little Bit Crunchy, A Little Bit Rock & Roll” website, she has some really great and oh-so healthy recipes over there!
Preheat oven to 400*. In a medium-sized sauce pan, add creamed corn, water and salt. Heat, stir and add corn meal. Cook until thick. Stir in butter and cheese.
Drop by tablespoons into well-greased muffin tins. Press with tart shaper and fingers up the sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before filling with your toppings of choice.
Easy and pretty too! Try them soon!
