Well guys, today I decided to kick my lazy cooking habits out the window and make some chicken tacos. Dinner came together pretty fast, all I had to do was chop the vegetables. This recipe is so very versatile and you can do a lot with the leftover shredded chicken. You could make quesadillas, a taco salad, more chicken tacos, nachos, you name it. Burritos even.

I found a recipe for vegan nacho cheese sauce, that I'm tempted to try this weekend. Yes, me try a vegan recipe. That is unheard of. I went to the grocery store just wanting to buy some softshell tacos and tomatoes for my tacos. Walked out with two avocados, two boxes of orzo(it was on sale) and some raw cashews. Going to try making dairy free peanut butter cheesecake this weekend. Don't ever go to the grocery store on an empty stomach I guess?
