Tonight, my friends and I are throwing a dinner party for our friend. Lisa’s birthday was last week and we are all celebrating her special day. We are having a Mexican Fiesta night. My friend, Azita, is hosting the birthday party at her house and her, Ethel and I all have our assigned tasks. Our…

Chicken Tostadas Marinated in Cilantro Dressing
One of my favorite fast food restaurants is El Pollo Loco. I’ve always enjoyed El Pollo Loco, but even more so now that they’ve introduced an under 500 calorie menu. This is where I choose to eat if we happen to be heading out for a quick bite on a weeknight because I know I…
Turkey and Pinto Bean Taco Boats
I found the cutest little taco boats at my local grocery store last week, I couldn’t pass them up. Last night I made ground turkey tacos and thought these would be the perfect vessel to serve them in. The taco boats actually made for a much less messy taco. These are by Old El Paso and have only…
Beef Enchilidas
Who doesn’t love enchiladas? I’ll admit, I don’t make them often. They are a bit tedious, and a little messy … but, in the end, I’m always glad I’ve taken the time to make these for my family. It’s Saturday and Dennis and I had some errands to run this morning. Kylie stayed home to…
Ground Turkey and Shredded Sweet Potato Tacos
It’s Tuesday …. so, why not. I made tacos for dinner. I decided to take a little nap late this afternoon. It was a very relaxing day, so it seemed appropriate. When I was waking up, I had a vision of taking a sweet potato and peeling it and then shredding it on my box…
Southwest Pizza
I was setting out to make Kylie and I bean burritos for lunch today when I realized I was out of tortillas. I went to the freezer remembering I had a frozen pizza crust so thought I would try my hand at a southwest pizza. Oh boy, was it good! I was really looking forward…
Fish Tacos with Corn Salsa
I love fish tacos; they are refreshing, healthy, and make a great light summer dinner. When I make this particular fish taco, I saute Alaskan Cod that I have cut into bite size pieces and let sit in a dry rub I make out of cumin, oregano, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Mrs. Dash…
Apple, Avocado and Jalapeno Quesadilla topped with Salad
There are many days when I just want something other than a sandwich for lunch. Today was one of those days. I ended up having a yearning for a quesadilla, which I love. There are so many ways you can make them and so many options for what you can stuff inside. I’m thinking it would…
Quesadillas with a side of Chili Lime Butter Corn on the Cob
Last night’s dinner had to be easy, tasty and somewhat quick. It was the Championship game for Dennis’ Thursday night softball league. The Fast & Furious had a great season and they were headed to the Championship game. They came in 2nd, way to go guys!!! After a six week break, they’ll start up again….
Mexican Fusilli
Wednesday night, I decided to make something I haven’t made in many years. Mexican spaghetti was a dish I made when Dennis and I were first married. This was out of necessity one night when I was making pasta and realized I didn’t have any spaghetti sauce. Hmmm, I thought? What should I do now?…
