Quick weekly menu 9/27/21

One of the things that I have learned with planning a menu each week is: you have to find what works best for you and your family. Some things that I have tried, that looked great on Instagram or Pinterest, didn’t work for me. So instead of wasting time trying to force it to work, I have learned to just move on and find what does work. Something that has worked really well, is making my own taco seasoning.It’s really nice to know exactly what the ingredients are. There is no reason for chemicals or preservatives, and it takes only a couple minutes to whip up. Since we make some form of tacos at least once a week- I find this recipe to come in handy when I am making a quick weekly menu.
