Chicken Street Tacos

Chicken Street Tacos

We have been on a real Mexican food kick the past few weeks. No matter what time of the year, we probably eat Mexican at least one time per week. It’s one of our favorites! But since it is summer and we are able to use the grill, I am trying to use it as much as possible. Taking recipes that I usually make in the kitchen and moving them to the grill has been a fun spin on our usual weekly menu lineup. A few weeks ago, I shared the Mexican Style Street Corn (see that recipe here). And today I’m continuing the trend of Mexican on the grill with these Chicken Street Tacos.Read More

Trader Joe’s Haul: 6 New Finds

trader joe's haul 6 new finds

After sharing my top 5 Trader Joe’s finds a few months ago (see that post here), I received such great feedback I thought I would share another Trader Joe’s related post with new finds. With new discoveries each time I visit the store, this could turn into a quarterly series! As I mentioned in my last Trader Joe’s post, I usually don’t find my weekly groceries at TJ’s. I use it more for speciality products and snacks. I find it difficult to shop there for “everyday items” because they might not always have, for example, asparagus in stock. However, if I am looking for snacks and other non-staples, Trader Joe’s is great. Here is another Trader Joe’s haul: 6 new finds.
