  • Pandemic planning has my house full of random ingredients! Anyone else suffering from ingredient overload? I can't explain it, we don't have a lot of the essentials, but I have eight boxes of cake mix (some would call that essential) and most recently 3 bags of cilantro. What do you do with extra cilantro? You make Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken and it's the epitome of summer on the plate. It's so fresh and addictive! A definitely must make! #cilantrolimechicken #grilledchickenbreast #cilantrogrilledchicken #limechicken

    Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken

    Who's ready for chicken, like really REALLY good chicken? With all this extra cooking at home, I seem to have an abundance of random ingredients.

So, out of an overload of the flavourful green leaves, comes Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken.

  • Shocked. Stunned. Surprised that a can of pinto beans and a little seasoning is all it takes for Easy Refried Beans. And they're delicious! I've never been a fan of refried beans but this version is the best I've tried and I would gladly trade in the meat for this tasty vegetarian version!

    Easy Refried Beans (Two Ingredients)

    I was chatting with my best friend one night and happened to ask what they were having for dinner. She said tostadas, I asked a few more questions. And found out that her son only liked his tostadas with Easy Refried Beans. I didn't believe her. I mean, I don't know any kid that would choose beans over taco meat. Personally, beans have never been my go-to. Usually, I just leave them on my plate or push them around until the waiter finally comes and takes it all away. Make them at home? No way, so not my thing.

This main is layered with flavour and can be used in so many ways. Toss it all in the crockpot in the morning, grab some soft tortillas on your way home and dinner is ready!

    Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken (two ingredients)

    You guys I'm totally digging this two-ingredient main dish. Crock Pot Salsa Chicken is exactly what it sounds like. Chicken and salsa slow-cooked until the meat falls apart.

  • Potacos are essentially a taco stuffed potato, with a much catchier name. A dish that comes together in minutes, using leftover taco meat and baked potatoes. Add in a few extra Mexican favourites and dinner will impress even your toughest critics. The perfect meal for a busy weeknight.

    Potacos (Taco stuffed potatoes)

    Taco stuffed potatoes or Potacos, as we call them in our house, are a huge favorite with our family. I mean really, what's not to like. A warm baked potato topped with taco meat mixed with spicy tomatoes, corn and more, then smothered in cheese and finished with proper taco garnishes. It's heavenly! Ok, but if I'm really being honest, I like this best, because it's one of the easiest, throw together recipes I've made.

  • This was the first guacamole I ever tried and it's been my favourite version ever since. It's loaded with big chunks and major flavour in every bite. This super easy party recipe, with only a handful of ingredients, is always a hit and truly is the Best Chunky Guacamole I've come across.

    The Best Chunky Guacamole

    When I was younger, I avoided anything with avocados. I convinced myself there was zero chance I’d enjoy the green mush and that was that. I drew a line in the sand. Me on one side, avocados on the other. That was until my Aunt Linda, brought The Best Chunky Guacamole to some gathering. The gathering part doesn't matter. What matters is I tried it and my hatred for the little green gem vanished, along with that dip!

    Taco Planter Gift Idea

    So, I have a new obsession and it’s terra cotta planters. They’re right up there with joggers (as in the pants, I don’t run and don’t plan on it anytime soon) and this Hot Cheesy Spinach Dip. First of all, they’re super inexpensive and and can be decorated in every way imaginable. When I'm brainstorming craft ideas, I talk aloud to my husband. Ha! I say to him and not with him, because he's usually only halfway listening, however, when I suggested this Taco Planter Housewarming Gift idea his ears perked right up. I don't know if he was feeding off my…

  • There is nothing better than combining two classic meals into one dish. Taco Pizza on Naan Bread combines tacos and pizza into a meal that will become a guaranteed weeknight staple. Topped with your favourite taco toppings and made easy with naan bread this recipe is a definite keeper.

    Taco Pizza on Naan Bread

    When I was little, my Dad would make taco pizza. It was sort of his thing. He didn't do a lot of the cooking, that was more my Mom's domain. He loves to cook now and will experiment and take on any, and every dish, but back in the day, he handled the barbecue, fresh fish and taco pizza. Probably other things too, that I've since forgotten, but this pizza, however, was his jam and my inspiration for Taco Pizza on Naan Bread.
