Pico de Gallo-Fresh Tomato Sala
I never seem to be able to make enough of this, it’s always gone at the end of the night! However much you think your family will make…maybe double or triple it! 😉
Corn Salsa
This recipe is the perfect topper for all sorts of Mexican dishes! It’s also good just served with a bowl of tortilla chips!
Cilantro Lime Rice
This rice is delicious with tacos, in a Chipotle Bar, or served alongside Mexican food. It’s also delicious eaten by itself or topped with my guacamole!
Guacamole For Fifty
This guacamole is the best we’ve ever tasted, you’ll never need another recipe! We bring this often to potlucks, or dinner at a friend’s house, it’s a huge crowd pleaser, and it keeps well in the refrigerator, so leftovers aren’t a problem!
Chipotle Marinated Grilled Chicken Thighs
This is the recipe that I use for my famous Chipotle Bars, and it is always a HUGE hit! You will want to marinate the Chipotle Chicken for at least twelve hours prior to grilling.

Welcome to the Club of Disappointed Chore Chart Moms! I’m actually embarrassed by how many charts I’ve purchased over the years: some magnetic, […]
How To Handle a Child Chore System the Right Way
I’m getting ready to say something REALLY controversial…A Child Chore System should NOT be your first priority if you are trying to lighten you own cleaning load and get your home in order. Isn’t that a weird thing for a woman who has built her whole business around teaching Moms how to get their children […]
Why All Of Your Past Decluttering Efforts Have Failed
How many times in the past have your efforts at decluttering failed? Having a clutter-free home was my New Year’s Resolution year after year. And then, year after year, I failed. I tried every method out there to get the clutter under control…Flylady, KonMarie, you name it, I tried it. But I never got very […]
