Sweet Potato Taco Boats

I took my kids out to get cute photos so my husband could have something other than ultrasound pictures hanging in his cubicle at work.

Guess how well that worked out:Brooke is a pretty photogenic girl and I actually got some decent smiles out of her……Blakeman on the other hand is a whole other story. He basically hates life when his sister holds him/comes near him. She just gets a little excited to be around him which translates into being a little bit too rough. Obviously I tell her to “be gentle” 400 times a day, but it seriously goes in one ear and right out the other.

More or less, this little trip out into nature was somewhat of a bust. At least I got this little gem:

Instead of doing crazy eyes, I just ask her to do a fake laugh and she looks like she’s happy. It’s a miracle.

The people at this park sort of thought I was nuts.

Umm….what else is new?!

So, I’m debating whether to go out again and try to get some more decent shots of my baby. We’ll see if the cosmos align, allowing him to smile at something other than my face. Time will tell. *I will keep you posted.

ANYWAYS. I made taco boats out of sweet potatoes and they were RAD. Healthy and RAD. Sweet and spicy and creamy and amazing. The recipe isn’t really much of a recipe either. Just make all your taco fixings and shove them into a baked sweet potato. Done and done.

Here’s the printable. Enjoy your weekend! –>{TGIF TGIF TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}
