Some days are busier than others and most days I can barely spare 30 minutes for dinner. Not to mention I think I have the pickiest family ever.
I have a list of family approved go-to flavors. You know burgers, pizza, tacos and a few others that are always a winner.
I love taking our old favorites and putting a little spin on them to create a whole new dish with a little imagination (and help from the freezer section).
I got hooked on Alexia Foods a few years ago. I was searching the freezer section for a little help with dinner and I was drawn to them because they are all natural and I am trying to make smarter food choices for my family. I first tried their sweet potato fries, I have quite the sweet potato thing.
Fries are a fabulous side and I love incorporating them into dinner. Last week I was meal planning with Munchkin and she was all excited. We came to a night that we just couldn't think of anything, so I pulled out my trusty go-to flavors and decided to put a spin on it.
Cheesy tacos. I couldn't think of anything more delicious that Fully Loaded Cheesy Taco Fries. Served on a bed of perfectly crisp french fries. I was so right. What a perfect dinner.
