Pulled Chicken Tacos
I think we could easily eat Mexican food every day of the week, but sometimes it’s nice to throw in a new variation into the mix. Instead of the usual crunchy shell beef tacos, I fixed pulled chicken tacos and my family couldn’t keep their hands off! At just 3 1/2 ” these mini tacos are a fun size and could easily serve as an appetizer to a bigger meal…they’re like the sliders of the taco world! This recipe could and probably should be doubled! The best part of making tacos is what you dress them up with. I served these up with some favorite sides including: sliced avocado diced…

From Scratch Marinara Sauce
Tomatoes are being harvested faster than I can use them up. My refrigerator was stocked with my homemade salsa and I needed another way to make use of the abundance of tomatoes coming my way, so I went looking for an easy marinara sauce.

You are giving it away as fast as you can pick it. You can’t possibly manage to whip up another loaf of zucchini bread and for sure the others in your household can no longer eat one more bite of it…so what do you do with all of your excess? You make this grain free/guilt free version of an old favorite! I’ll admit that traditional lasagna is amazing, but for someone like myself, the pasta/cheese combo can leave you incredibly bloated.

Superbowl Chili
Every time we host a super bowl party at our house, I make this chili. It works great in a crock pot or you can double the recipe and make it in a stock pot if you have a large crowd. We always set out toppings so each guest can dress it up to their liking. Topping ideas: Sour Cream Grated Cheddar Cheese Chives Bacon Jalepenos It’s always a crowd pleaser and makes wonderful leftovers during the warm winter months. Of course chili is great paired with corn bread, but these homemade cheesy crackers are pretty amazing too!
