Taco Pizza, and Bonus Dessert

This week seems to be going by so dang slow I feel like ive been stuck in the middle of the week without the weekend in sight. On the plus side I had a successful grocery shopping trip where I was under budget and somehow got too much food? I like to think that little leprechauns are cheering for me everytime I accomplish such a thing but it just so happens my 1 year old is the only one who gets as excited as I do. I realized this week that my menu’s for this month are really going to take a turn to the fastest and easiest recipes, after two weeks of trying to maintain my normal dinner time routine, im throwing in the towel! Today we had Mexican pizza, which is missing lettuce because someone…who shall remain nameless **cough, my husband** threw it out last time we used it. So lettuce is in the recipe…but not in the pictures J I also have a bonus recipe……a DESSERT. A super simple crowd pleaser. Remember I don’t bake so you know it will be an easy recipe!

Im a firm believer of dessert before dinner J
