It needed cheese and comfort and celebration and carbs. I’m trying to be healthy though, and we did have homemade pizza last week. That meant…

This and That and Tequila Lime Chicken
Life is a bit weird right now. Isn’t it always? Scott’s work hours are changing semi-regularly, so we’re eating meals kind of whenever. In an attempt to make the week feel more festive, I went for the “big recipe” of the week this morning instead of Friday, as I had originally planned. Sometimes Tuesday needs…
