Tacos. They hold a special place in my heart. Before I started on this complete lifestyle change, I have vivid memories of enjoying tacos at a local food truck with my family. The gluten, the grease, and quality time with my family. That’s hard to compete with.
We started enjoying Taco Night at home. Our son’s eyes light up as soon as he sees tacos. Its a special tradition in our family.
A Taco Night with your family should be a priority. Here are a few reasons why:
1.) Taco Night helps create memories with your family. This will give you an excuse to spend quality time with the people in your life who mean the most.
2.) Taco Night helps bring cultural diversity to your table. This is a great time to discuss the similarities and differences of foods from other countries.
3.) Clean up is a breeze after Taco Night. It usually creates very few dirty dishes and there is never leftovers.
4.) You can feed the masses with Taco Night. Taco ingredients are cheap and simple!
5.) Taco Night is perfect for picky eaters. The options are endless with tacos. Kids are able to have control over what goes on their plate.
Therefore, I had to find a way to compete with the food truck…
