The Best Recipes to Spice Up Taco Tuesday

Who doesn't love tacos? Easy, fast, tasty, economical. Dinner is D-O-N-E.

The problem is, tacos can get just a bit boring if (like us), you've been making them the same way forever. Plus, we have a vegetarian in our house. Finding tasty alternatives to ground beef is something we're constantly challenged with.

I spent a little time taco hunting on the web and found some alternatives to our regular Taco Tuesday fare. I threw them into my recipe organizer app ClipDish and will be working my way through them over the coming weeks.

How to quickly cleanup taco night

I hate taco night cleanup

- every kid everywhere

Our kids either help set the table or help clear the table at the end of dinner. It's always a fight on taco night because there is so much to clean up.

Want to avoid the fight, here is an awesome life hack. Rather than use separate plates or bowls for your taco stuffings put them into deli containers when setting the table. Then, at the end of dinner, throw on some lids and toss it into the refrigerator.
