No Excuses: Cook Like a Champion
December seems to be the busiest time of year. Between holiday parties, family gatherings, and shorter days, this is the time of the year when a few extra hours in the day seems particularly useful.
Since I don’t see that actually happening, I have to find another way to scrounge up some extra time to get things done. For me, that usually means cooking dinner.
Fortunately, that doesn’t mean we can’t still eat good meals. ![]()
Last week, before things got crazy, I made tacos for dinner. One of the reasons I never make tacos is because I’m only feeding two people at most- what the heck am I supposed to do with all the leftover taco toppings?
That’s where fast & easy dinners come in: taco salad!!
A few chops with the knife, and dinner essentially serves itself.
It’s literally everything I used to make tacos, just piled on top of lettuce instead of tucked inside a shell.
Iceberg, bell peppers (ok, those weren’t on the tacos
), black beans, taco seasoning, tomatoes (husband only!), cheese, salsa, sour cream, and slightly crushed tortilla chips.
No dinner sacrificing here. ![]()
