Reviews on the meals

My family loves the Poppy Seed Chicken from The Girl Who Ate Everything. I've added some of my family favorites to it each time I make it. This week I added roasted garlic and a chipolte pepper to add some spice. This is a great go to recipe when you want something fast and easy to make.
Dave made the Colombian Steak while I held our sleeping baby. It only took a few minutes to cook everything, but tasted like it slow cooked all day long. Skinny Taste knows how to make recipes that taste indulgent but is easy on your waistline.
Tonight we had the Chipolte Pork Taco and they were delicious! Our Best Bites know how to combine flavors. The hint of lime cooled off the heat of the chipolte peppers.
