If you’re anything like me, this time of year you find yourself with about six million things to do and simply not enough time in the day. Can you BELIEVE Thanksgiving is next week? Yesterday, my sister and I talked about “getting a head start on holiday shopping.” <— this is the domestic life I have built for myself. We’re so busy working on the new house that we’ve decided not to decorate the house for Christmas this year. It kinda breaks my heart, but at the same time I know that I would really regret putting up all of those decorations when we are trying to pack up the house and move in early January. We are not even getting a tree! I feel like the house is going to be so sad. I am such a Grinch. Anyway, the point of all of this sad narrative is that we are all super busy this time of year and could use some quick and easy meals. You’re probably going to get sick of the turkey-cookie-gravy-pie diet that is traditional for this time of year, so I thought you’d love to add some quick and easy 30-minute Mexican recipes to your meal plan!
