Over the course of the last several months, I have tried to make dinner a little more frequently and a little more healthy.
I wondered why I did this for Noah, but not for Jonathan and I.
I quickly learned how time consuming cooking can be, and although I have not completely eliminated making the bigger more complicated meals, I try to have a couple of more simple ideas for those crazy nights - such as Taco Night and Spaghetti night. What I love, is that Noah is now old enough to eat both!
Now that school is back in session, reward your family for their hard work and bring the dinner your family loves to the table with a fiesta - Old El Paso style!

Old El Paso sent me an amazing family taco night prize pack through MyBlogSpark which included a packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, a Cactus Chip & Dip Serving dish, a set of 3 Fiesta Chili Pepper serving dishes and a $10 gift card that I used to purchase our taco fixings, including organic ground beef, salsa and sour cream! A must in our family!
Noah had never eaten tacos before (of course we gave him soft tacos) and he absolutely LOVED them! It took him a couple of tries before I had to break it apart from him, but he delved after the meat that was seasoned with the Old El Paso seasonings! Yeah! One more easy dinner to cook for him!
Old El Paso and MyBlogSpark have offered a great family taco night prize pack to one lucky Going Green with Noah winner!!!!

We make it special by offering toppings to suit every taste. To us, that means buying avocado when it is out of season, or wild caught salmon.
I follow your blog.
