Who doesn’t love a good taco? I mean every one has heard of ‘Taco Tuesday’ and ‘Taco Day‘ on the first Tuesday of October, haven’t they?
Well, tacos can come in many forms, and we enjoy them all! Here are some of our family favorites that you might enjoy too!
My family loves the Hobbit books and movies, so when I saw that there was an actual ‘Hobbit Day’ on September 22nd, I had to make a note of it on our Fall Perpetual Meal Plan. Last year, we were in the middle of wedding prep, followed by hurricane prep, so it kind of got forgotten about. This year, my kiddos have not let me forget!
We worked together to make a menu so that we can celebrate… we might even watch the movies, if we can! We might also enjoy our Elevenses outdoors under our garden arches… so many ideas. Our kids love reading and we love to encourage them so this is a cute way to keep that spark ALIVE!
This is a recipe that we make at least two times a week or more. I have recently started using Chaya in place of the spinach and it is so GOOD! You just need to do your research before using Chaya to make sure it is a good fit for you. This soup is still AMAZING with or without spinach or kale as well, so don’t worry if you can’t get your hands on any.
This soup is so good for you and it is so easy to make … you can add just about anything you like and it will only make it better! You can also leave it as simple as you like and still have a healthy, filling meal. I can make a pot of this in the beginning of the week and have it for lunch all week… as long as the kiddos don’t get to it before I do!
Here is a look at one of our Chaya plants…. or ‘yard leaf’ as Mr. Awesome calls them…
I think I will definitely be adding even more next year! I’m also planning to pick some more and cook them up before putting them in the freezer so we can enjoy them all winter long!
