speaking of my crazy husband, i asked him if he had any suggestions for meals for the week and he said he wants tacos every night because that's his favorite. really, tacos? no disrespect mr. taco, but all you are is ground meat with a packet of seasoning. let's not down play the devastation i experienced when i heard this. i spend hours upon hours cooking each week only to find out that he would really rather just have a taco. great. so, onward. i'm embracing the taco and turning into a challenge. how can i make taco's for one week straight, but each night different. stay tuned. it's going to be interesting.
in the meantime, enjoy this yummy potato & ham soup. it's simple, but heartwarming.
