Weeknight Taco Pizza

#TacoTuesday is a recurring theme dinner in our house. I mean, who doesn’t love tacos, right? They’re super easy to make, can easily be switched up with different fillings and toppings, and require zero utensils, meaning there’s fewer dishes to clean! 🙂 Plus, it’s reallllllly hard to mess them up. Let’s just say, I’ve never met a taco that I didn’t love! Tacos (and taco salads and taco skillets) are definitely some of our favorite go-to foods for busy nights when we want something easy and filling – along with homemade pizza!

And the obsession is serious – she bangs on the front windows of our home screaming to go outside and “pick matos!” from the large above ground wooden planters we have. Mato is her name for tomato at the moment 🙂  I exclusively breastfed Harley for 6.5 months before introducing solid food (and still breastfeeding as she turns 21 months). Avocado was her first food and I continued with various vegetables before I exhausted the options and then introduced all the fruits

Friday night date night at Mas! We’re trying to fit in “one last visit” to all of our favorite dining spots. I said on Friday night I just wanted some “damn good food” and so Mas Tapas it was. We sat at the bar so we could chat with Thomas’s SIL who works there. The smoked tomatoes with gray salt….the giant shrimp with garlic aioli – everything is sooooo good! So about last week…. You know you’re in nesting mode when you……vacuum out the freezer!! Here are some of the things I did last week in preparation for baby’s arrival: VIDEOS Wrapped up all of my client-related blog projects for the YEAR! (Except anything new that might come in…) I’ve been working ahead all summer in order to have everything created, approved, and scheduled for the fall (much easier said than done )  Stay tuned for some fun recipes and posts! Got my car inspected, tires rotated, inside vacuumed, and oil changed Cleaned the rest of the car myself (consoles, seats, etc) Installed the car seat (t
