I went all rogue over here today by making these Classic Weeknight Tacos on a Saturday afternoon. What can I say? I'm super rebellious that way. Seriously though, this recipe gets a huge OMG from me and the people I feed. This Campbell's recipe is the I-am-100%-stuffed-but-I'd-gladly-eat-another-plate-full type of recipe. Without a doubt the best beef tacos I've ever made. Similar to the Creamy Perogie Dinner I made a few weeks ago, I really felt that you couldn't mess with the classic …
Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo
Years ago, my cousin graduated from a Chef's program and my mother invited him to our house to come show off his newly acquired culinary skills. We had a packed house that night and everyone was eager to see what the first chef in our family would serve.

#Dinnerin15 Grilled Tex Mex Sandwich

That's where Maple Leaf Prime Oven Roasted Chicken Strips come in. Perfectly cooked and ready to go they are …
Big Ass Pot O’ Chili Recipe
There are certain recipes that I simply can't see the point of making only enough for one meal. Recipes like Marinara and Meatballs or Banana Bread just scream to be doubled, or tripled for meals on another day. If it can be frozen, then I always make enough for another day, like this Big Ass Pot O' Chili Recipe. Why do I call it that? Because I easily get three meals for my family of four out of this recipe. It's also a fantastic recipe to make for a crowd. Just make sure you have a …
Healthy School Lunches in 5 Easy Steps
Five years ago, had I come across photos like the ones I now post of my kids’ school lunches, I’d probably think "Behind this lunch is an over-achieving mother, trying to keep up appearances." Because, COME ON. Who has the time or energy to make school lunches everyday—let alone lunches containing all four food groups and a drink? And it's true; I do care about appearances, sort of. But the only people whose opinions matter when it comes to how those school lunches look are my …
