Last night I wanted to fix something from south of the border. But at the same time, I wanted to try something different. So the filling for these black bean and ground beef tacos was perfect…and different than just a ground beef taco filling. Adding the beans also added some great fiber as well as stretching the meal a bit! The result was absolutely fabulous! These black bean and ground beef tacos will always be a regular part of my meal rotation now. It’s also a quick, easy, and filling meal to make! I typically use gluten-free tortillas with this…

I am always on the hunt for interesting side dishes. Especially side dishes that I can pair with recipes like my salsa chicken. But that recipe can be a little more challenging to pair with a nice side dish. So I experimented with a few different side dishes. Most didn’t work well.

It helps to complete the meal and makes for a really tasty dinner. I have also tried this as a topper for…

I just love spring in the south! Today was in the ’70s and I had all of the windows and doors open to air out the house. I worked in the back yard for a while and enjoyed being in the sunshine and getting some fresh air. And since I mowed the lawn, I get to enjoy the smell of fresh-cut grass….mmmmm. Perfect day for a salad like this southwestern salad! When the weather starts warming up I find that I begin to crave more fresh fruits and vegetables. And I love salads! I do have to be careful because…

You may have noticed that I haven’t been around as much over the past few months. A lot has changed in my life at that time. My husband I separated permanently and I moved back into my home. My divorce was finalized at the end of January and I took back my maiden name. I also got a full-time job as a blogger and social media manager for a great company out of California. Working full time has prevented me from being as active here as I would like, but now that I’ve learned the ropes at my new job,…
