Classic Weeknight Tacos – Perfect Any Day of the Week

By //  by Candace Sampson

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.

By //  by Candace Sampson

Yesterday morning I made Chocolate Stuffed French Toast for my children......on a school day. I mean seriously, how impressive am I? I am owning the mother of the year title this year through that one simple act alone. Just think about it? Chocolate cream cheese slathered between two pieces of french bread then dipped in egg and fried golden brown. You can almost hear the choir of angels singing, can't you? How did I pull off this extraordinary feat on a Tuesday morning? First, I made …
