I've been with this fun crew in sunny beautiful Puerto Vallarta Mexico! 

We've been having a blast! 

Yesterday we went whale watching on a private yacht! We saw so many humpback whales! It was AMAZING! 

Today my group is taking an authentic Mexican cooking class!  

Today I'm Excited To Announce Next Year's Trip!

We fly home Sunday. It will be hard to say goodbye to this beautiful and fun group of people but  I'm so excited to see our dog Arlo.  

I'm also excited to get home to my kitchen and do some cooking.  We went on a taco tour here in Puerto Vallarta and it was SO FUN! 

At home we do taco night at least once a week!  

My Slow Cooker Honey Lime Chicken makes the best tacos! The chicken has so much flavor! We love it over rice or a salad too! 

This is a nice, healthy recipe for the New Year!

The salsas here is Mexico are so yummy! I never buy salsa in a jar.  My Blender Salsa is so fresh and delicious! Super Easy too! 

It tastes just like to salsa at your favorite Mexican restaurant! Try it!

 I always heat up the tortilla chips on a cookie sheet in the oven for just a couple minutes.   They taste so much better! Bring on the chips and salsa! Maybe some margaritas too! 

I'm not looking forward to the cold weather back home. I hope it warm up a bit! 

When it's chilly, it's chili time! 

My Way Too Easy White Chicken Chili is my favorite!

I love chili but sometimes it doesn't like me.  This white chicken chili is so crazy easy to make and easy on your tummy! 

Go ahead and have a 2nd bowl.  It's healthy! 

Here's another healthy but delicious dinner idea! My Turkey Taco Skillet is a one skillet wonder! 

It's ready in 30 minutes or less! Love that!
