I typically like to cook our meals from scratch. But let’s be honest. For all of us, sometimes there are ‘Those Days‘… Today is just such a day.
I’ve been busy all week, I’m just getting over being ill and today I really need to play catch-up. So a hearty meal needs to be on auto-pilot today.
Easy ’nuff, I decided to make taco soup.
