Good day and welcome to Friday Faves!
Earlier this week we Cinco de Mayo’d with the best of them, but my husband requested this taco soup instead of the usual tacos for a change of pace. Plus, he’s a dipper so having something to dunk tortilla chips into is always a plus in his book. This weekend we will be celebrating Mother’s Day and lucky me!I will be celebrating it with my mom, my daughter, and my sister—a gaggle of mamas with babies. What could be a better way to share the day than that? If you’re cooking at home, check out this email I sent to my newsletter subscribers for brunch recipes to make at home—and then subscribe if you aren’t already so you don’t miss out on more recipe ideas I send out each week :).
With that, let’s dig into this week’s Friday Faves!
