Choco-Banana Gluten Free Granola Bites

They’re imdivually picky and equally hard to please so it takes effort to find something they all agree upon. I was pleased they all love these yummy chocolate banana granola bites aka mini muffins!

Easy Chicken Burrito Bowls
We had some of THE BEST tacos at Bakersfield while we were in Nashville this past weekend. I mean, wow. Hand made corn tortillas, mahi, braised spare rib, marinated portabella… I was in total heaven. We ate there twice. Then we found Nashville Street Tacos… agghhh! More deliciousness! I couldn’t get enough southwest style fare (yeah, in Nashville, I know). So when we got home I decided I was going to throw in a few similar style southwestern flair dinners for this weeks menu. Last night we did a deconstructed chicken burrito. It was heavenly. One happy husband, and three happy kids. And I had to stop myself from going…
