Light Teriyaki Steak Bowl – For My Kids

Review: EXO Cricket Protein Bars

Home Chef’s ‘Cajun Shrimp Tacos’

Tell you what! This was the trifecta of “good, easy and affordable.” This meal kit was thankfully straightforward, easy to follow, involved little back-and-forth of things going from a pan to a bowl and back to the pan again.

Chicken Enchiladas and Elote: Easy, Quick and Affordable

Chicken Enchiladas with Elote

Tonight was an experiment to see if I could convince kids #2 and 3 to eat an enchilada. They have always been averse to sauce of any type, so it was a gamble and I really wanted to keep the stakes low. It worked, at least for #2. He raved about it.
