This weeks What's for Supper Sunday has a little bit of everything in the mix. We are not big breakfast eaters around here but we sure do enjoy eating those beloved breakfast dishes for supper. For some reason it just tastes so much better when you eat it for supper. Am I right? Of course a couple casserole recipes are thrown in along with a crock pot recipe. And we can't forget the dessert! Have a great week!
Oh boy, has life been super busy! It seems like everything comes at one time. So this weeks What's for Supper Sunday took me a little longer than normal to work on. But alas, I finally have our meal plan for the week. This week I went with a few tried and true family favorites. And of course, we need a little something sweet to satisfy that sweet tooth. So here's what's for supper this week. If you are new to What's for Supper Sunday, just click on the recipe title and it will take you right on over to the full recipe. Have a great week!
If you have been following Served Up With Love for a while then you already know how much our family eats taco inspired meals.
What is funny is that when we just eat tacos for dinner we always have tater tots to go with them. I am not sure why but it just works. So for years now I have been thinking of combining the two into one dish but just never took the step to do it.
When I was pregnant with our daughter all I craved was Mexican food. I really think I ate something Mexican inspired every day. Still 9 years later I still stop and pay attention whenever I see a Mexican inspired dish. Wouldn't you know it, tacos are my daughters favorite food. Do you think I had something to do with that?
When our son was little he was super picky. When I say picky, I mean he ate like 5 different foods for years. I used to think how in the world is this child going to thrive off of chicken nuggets.
It drove me absolutely crazy. Once he hit puberty it was a different story. One of the first things different he tried was tacos and he instantly fell in love.
This kid couldn't get enough to eat. If it wasn't nailed down to the floor, he was eating it. It is funny to look back and think about how picky he was. Now he is quite the foodie and probably has tried more different things than I have.
His version of tacos is what I call lazy tacos. He takes the taco shells, crush them up and then add all the toppings, sort of like nachos. Very rarely does he eat a taco put together.
Taco night just got a little more fun and delicious!
