Life is so busy right now, getting ready for the end of school, finishing projects, planting my garden, spring clean-up around the yard, finishing up the cookbook and running my business. Somedays I can't believe I get it all done. Working women never get enough credit, and with Mother's Day around the corner, I want to give a shout out to all the women out there who are doing amazing things. Even if you are not working outside the home, raising kids, and running a household are some of the most important things we do as women. Just know that you are appreciated and that you are wished a wonderful Mother's Day, do something extra special for yourself this weekend, because you deserve it. In honor of you I created an easy weeknight salad recipe that the whole family would love. And of course, I love salads so here is a simple and easy version of Taco Salad, served with salsa, guacamole and ranch dressing.
