It’s Thursday night and my daughter is yelling, “Mom, is dinner ready??” I should’ve planned ahead but honestly I just didn’t have time today.
My eyes scan the pantry and I see a can of Ro*Tel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilis. I also had some tortillas on hand. Tacos! Tacos are my staple meal. Easy, quick and yummy. Thankfully I had ingredients on hand or else I would have had to drive to the grocery store. Preparing your taco filling is easy! Cook up your beef, add Ro*tel Diced tomatoes along with seasoning, warn up the tacos (soft or crunchy) and add the toppings! Viola! You can find the complete recipe that I used as well as read a few of my personal tips on how to save time on dinner at JenandBarbMomLife.com.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if moms had an extra hour daily just for meal planning? Well there are ways to save time in the kitchen and you get to spend more time at the dinner table! Get involved in Jen and Barb’s conversation on “Looking to save time on dinner?” by following #MomLife on Twitter!
