By now you should all know how much I love Mexican food. It's a staple in my weekday meal rotation, changing things up between tacos, enchiladas, nachos and taco salads. I haven't met a Mexican meal that I haven't loved! You can just imagine my excitement when I discovered the new Global Taco Simmer Sauces from Urban Accents. With varieties like Jamaican Jerk, Korean BBQ, Tangy Tomatillo and Thai Chili, the ideas for meals are simply endless!

Mexican Pizza #SundaySupper

This Mexican Pizza brings the best of two worlds together by turning my favorite Mexican food into a pizza! 
Perfect for game day, or even an easy weeknight meal, both kids and adults alike will love this fun twist!

Although I love summer, I am really, really excited that Fall is almost here. I can't wait to pull out my jeans, sweaters and boots this time of year, plus I'm obsessed with Halloween, all things pumpkin, and football. Football is my absolute favorite sport! Whether I'm watching my son play high school ball, or watching my favorite teams on TV, during the Fall I can't seem to get enough of it.

One of of my favorite things about football season, aside from the game itself, is the food. It doesn't matter if I'm tailgating with friends or watching a game at home, I always cook up some fun football treats. I tend to grill a lot, or make nachos and wings, but I also love pizza. I mean, who doesn't love pizza? I decided to give a twist to my traditional pizza and go Mexican style, and it was a huge hit with both my family and friends!

Mexican Torta Sandwiches & 5 Minute Salsa | The Chef Next Door
As we transition from Winter to Spring the first thoughts that come to mind {other than warmer weather!} is food. It's almost time to finish off the comfort foods and move forward with fresh veggies and fruits, lighter meals, and breaking out the grill! Although the type of food we eat may change, the fact that I need quick meals for my family doesn't change one bit. We are still busy. There are still sports, school work and other activities going on. That seems to be a constant throughout the year!

Even though I want fast meals, I still want them to be delicious and nutritious. That's why I love pairing my favorite canned foods with fresh produce and baked goods to create a simple and satisfying meal for my family. 

Mexican Stuffed Peppers

These Mexican Stuffed Peppers are a delicious make ahead weeknight meal!
Looking for a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight meal? Of course you are! Most of us are so busy these days between work, kids, sports, exercise, and our own extra curricular activities, it's tough to get a good, hot meal on the table. I've got a good one for you today. These Mexican Stuffed Peppers can be made over the weekend, or a night in advance, and then cooked the day you want to eat them. You know, when you come home and are exhausted and don't want to even THINK about what's for dinner. That's the perfect night for this meal.

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner! The big question is, are you ready for it?  I love celebrating this day every year and always put together a Mexican fiesta for my family, complete with colorful decorations and way too much food. This year I'm enlisting the help of Delimex to help me with an authentic and delicious meal!

I've got my lineup all planned out. I stopped by Walmart the other day and picked up three of my favorite Delimex products - Beef & Cheddar Rolled Tacos, Chicken & Cheese Taquitos, and Beef Tamales. I'm getting hungry just talking about them!
