Shamelessly Easy kind of Night

Some days just calls for easy peasy, I can get so busy with canning season, regular domestic diva chores, and life, that sometimes it’s nice to take the easy road. I used to feel guilty if I didn’t have all my meals organic and made from scratch. When my kids became teenagers, that went out the door. I have been really busy getting pictures and recipes together this last week, to get caught up on the blogs, fresh food doesn’t wait to be canned.

This is one of my favorite after walk snacks, or just a quick pick me up. Yes 4% fat cottage cheese, cause if your going to do it, just do it. Chopped fresh tomatoes with a drizzle of pesto basil oil and fresh ground pepper and a pinch of kosher salt. The pesto basil oil is equal parts basil oil, homemade or store bought and pesto. Yummy!!

Teenagers favorite!!! My son could live off tacos, he says he’s not a gourmet. Dinner in about 20 minutes, using packet taco seasoning, I use ground pork becuase I think it tastes the best, and of course chopped tomato and lettuce, and lots of cheese. Garnish with sour cream, salsa of your choice, and diced avacado.
