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.

#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 …

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 …
