Lighter Chipotle Beef Tacos #SundaySupper #ChooseDreams

Lighter Chipotle Beef Tacos are an easy recipe for a healthier beef taco. {Gluten Free}

Back when Mike and I were first married, I tried to cook dinner every night. At the time, I was still working and often ended up at the office much later than he was. He could tell how tired I was after working 10+ hour days and wanted to help with dinner. He has always made a mean frozen pizza and used to cook a lot during his bachelor days. He told me he used to make tacos all of the time – meat plus a seasoning kit. Oy! I was excited for tacos, but my first thought was…where are the vegetables? He is very good at following a recipe, so we decided that I needed to come up with a healthier beef taco recipe that is easy to make….

Cornbread made with buttermilk is given a sophisticated twist with fresh rosemary in this Rosemary Cornbread. This recipe is lightened up and always a favorite!

A couple weeks ago, my family paid a visit to the local nursery to pick up some herbs to plant in a container garden on our deck. The deck is just off the kitchen, and walking out the patio door to pick fresh herbs for my recipes is one of the many things I look forward to each spring. I’m not the only one who looks forward to ‘herb season.’ Adam not only loves the recipes, but he loves to care for the herbs too! Ever since he could walk, he has helped watering. Now with a few years of experience under his 4 year old belt, he has taken over (most) responsibility and really does a great job!
