B.L.T. Tacos
I literally can’t even with this week.
Mainly, I can’t deal with Instagram.
Who the hell do they think they are trying to mess with the algorithm?
Have you heard? If not, brace yourself.
They are planning on changing the way that you view your feed. Instead of the chronological order in which you currently see it they are doing to change it up so that you see the posts so that most popular ones appear first. I get it, IG stays that we miss 70% of our feed so this will help us see what we want to see. But no, just no. I like what I see, the way I see it. Don’t touch it.
I like FB, but part of the reason I really truly hate it is that they rank things for you and present to you what they think you want. I’m sure there are load of smart people that work there and they have this all figured out, but, again, no…
Part of the reason that I love Instagram is that it is a mix of the things I love… food pictures, baby pictures, dog pictures, kids clothing consignment. I just like to randomly scroll through it. But if they now edit what I see and how I see it I am going to be turned off by the whole damn thing.
I know that writing a ranty post about it is silly, but my week is crazy and this is just the icing on the damn cake.
Hey, Instagram… YOU DON’T KNOW ME.
In other news, my current approach to cooking is ‘just do it’ I’m all sorts of Nike right now, except when it comes to physical exercise since I have no time for it. And don’t even give me some BS about making time for it. I projected out my work week and I’m prob going to be close to 60 hours so don’t even.
Anyway, just do it…
Just cook up some bacon. Just cut up a tomato. Just toss some lettuce on a tortilla. Just slap your bacon on there. Just toss some tomato on there. Just, drown your sorrows in ranch dressing.
I used a thick cut pepper bacon and let me tell you, da bomb. Get some.
Just make these and just enjoy Instagram while you still can.

Buffalo Chicken Tacos
There are so many things going on right now, I don’t even know where to begin!
“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop.”
I have just 9 days left at work before moving. It’s scary and wonderful at the same time. I’ve been here for over 9 years and I love where I am and what I do, but it’s time for some change.
The tickets for Autumn and I to move on 2/15 are booked.
My dad is flying up tomorrow to get our loaded up car to drive to CT to stay at my sister’s, then he will take the Auto Train from VA to FL arriving on Friday. And then my brother and dad will unload the car and assemble Autumn’s crib while my brother is on vacation. My family just effing rocks!
And that bag of poop with a spray tan, wearing a toupee didn’t win in Iowa. So that’s pretty awesome.
Plus, I have these bangin’ Buffalo Chicken Tacos for you today!
And I didn’t purposefully make them for the ‘Big Game’! I just made them because I was really craving some buffalo chicken and ta-da, I made some tacos. Duh! It’s Taco Tuesday! Double duh!
Did you know that the NFL owns the rights to “Super Bowl” and retailers and TV shows reference it as “The Big Game”, “Game Day”, etc so they don’t have to pay the NFL? I find it silly and awesome. There should be a drinking game for how many times the hosts of Food Network’s The Kitchen day “The Big Game”. Love it!
Anyway, these took about 15 minutes to whip up, which is perfect for a lunch or quick dinner. Or to even throw together for your friends while you watch “The Big Game!!!”
I made my own blue cheese dressing since I really like to make most of my own dressings, but you can make things even easier for yourself and just grab your favorite blue cheese dressing.
You can’t go wrong with buffalo chicken!
