Greek Taquitos

Oh my word! Today must be opposite day.

We dropped my youngest off at 4H camp this morning. He was a bit stressed out about leaving because he knew a storm was coming and he would be away from home.

What can I say? He has the NOAA app on his Ipad mini. He knows more about the weather than I do!

When we left the fairgrounds my oldest asked if we could go shopping.  He needed a belt and a pair of shorts. I was gobsmacked that HE asked to go to a mall!

So of course we went. When we got there he told me to leave my phone in the car. He wanted to hang out with me and the phone would be a distraction.

I was only too happy to comply.  It’s not often that my son wants to hang out with me, let alone talk to me.  He has been in a funk for about a year it seems and only now is the fog lifting on his 14 year old boy angst.

When we got home he was talking about something that I used to make but had forgotten.  Greek Taquitos.  These could not BE easier to make and you can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken or cook up a few chicken breasts on the spot.  This isn’t much of a recipe and really-it is more of a formulation or procedure.  Nevertheless they are good!
