Mexican Food Love!

Mexican food seems to be everyone’s favorite! There’s something about those super colorful ingredients that just call on us.

Pretty perfect, right?

Having an easy and inviting meal planned in your head right before mealtime is so helpful! Those moments when the hunger strikes and you have nothing ready are the moments when you’re most likely to reach for something not too healthy and surely not too easy on the wallet.
