I’m not sure what happened.

I blame my children.

I went from the wife and mother who used to love to create an award-winning meal to a wife and mother who has exactly 27 minutes to prepare a meal that no one will complain about before we go to our next activity.

Cooking and meal preparation has changed in our house.

I have less time. More vocal eaters. And a desire to still create something that is healthy from scratch.

For some reason, Mexican is always a hit in our house. Maybe it is the smothering of sour cream and salsa or maybe it is the addition of tortilla chips….all I know is that when I’m crunched for time this is my healthy chicken burrito recipe.
