Courtesy of Old El Paso and MyBlogSpark, we were able to have family taco night.
I was sent a prize pack, which included :a packet of original Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, a Cactus Chip & Dip Serving dish, a set of 3 Fiesta Chili Pepper serving dishes and a $10 gift card to purchase your taco fixings.  Photo of the prize pack:


We've not taken the time to have a family taco night in some time, and that's a shame.  We do plan to have it more often.  My daughter and I had lots of fun preparing the meal together.


Here is a photo of the table all set up:


And, another photo of others getting their plates fixed...and my daughter eating:
 I tried to do a video, however, the lighting in the kitchen isn't good.  I couldn't figure out how to save my editing.

  1. My favorite part of taco night is the food. I adore Mexican food. I'd probably eat it every day if I could and the one thing I miss the most from my hometown is the delicious Mexican restaurant I had to leave behind. I make a trip there every time I'm back home and try to recreate the magic myself with homemade Mexican meals.

  2. my favorite part is that everyone has to make their own dinner- i make all the stuff and put it in separate bowls- they build their own tacos- that way i know my kids are going to love what they make...its fun
