This recipe was developed by me for Smithfield, who I have an ongoing relationship with. All opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for helping to support the brands that I love!

My Facebook feed has been filled with back-to-school pictures this week. Say what??? And I thought we started early. When I was a kid, we went back after Labor Day, but it just keeps getting pushed up every year. If we’re going in the direction of year-round school I might cry. I love our summer breaks.

Although, I also sort of need my kids to get back into a schedule, and not be around each other. Or me. You know, for their safety. HA.

But then my head kind of hurts when I think about school, dance, and soccer. I need to start getting creative with dinner again!

Left overs to the rescue.

You’ve all tried baked beef tacos, right? I’m certain the original creator lives in the Midwest. Because those people are awesome and just know how to easily feed large crowds.

Well, I saw baked chicken tacos recently, and decided why not make them with pork, too! I had some extra from the Teriyaki Kabobs, thanks to Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork. They make original meals so easy, and repurposing left overs even easier. This one is ready in only 30 minutes!

      No, they’re canned tomatoes with green chilis. All common grocery stores carry it, usually next to the salsa.

    I made those baked chicken tacos and then also made them with beef. Now I guess I need to try them with pork! (Bonus: I already have shredded pork shoulder in the freezer!)

  • Every year the kids’ school does several fundraisers (of course) – one of my favorites is the Candy Cane extravaganza, including more candy cane flavors than you can imagine.⁣
.⁣
My daughter always gets some type of jolly rancher and lemonade. My son is less concerned with what they taste like, and makes his picks based on color.⁣
.⁣
I always get a few classic peppermint, so I can make holiday treats, like this meringue cookie recipe.⁣
.⁣
Consisting mostly of egg whites and sugar, these meringue cookies are crunchy, airy, super light, and pretty low calorie, so you can eat several without feeling guilty. Also? I put these on top of some hot cocoa. Mind blown.⁣

  • These Eggnog Cheesecake Bars are luscious cheesecake in bar form, with an eggnog flair, and drizzled with melted white chocolate!⁣
.⁣
One of the beautiful things about these bars is that they’re not actually made with eggnog – they just taste like it. So you can still make them when eggnog is not available. You're welcome!⁣
