I was very excited when I came across this recipe from Pillsbury.  The Angel Face and the Teen both love Tacos and they both love Spaghetti.  The Angel Face spends the night with us each Tuesday and I alternate having pasta one week and tacos or Mexican the following week. 

This recipe let's me give them both in one swoop. Score!!!  They loved it!!!  I loved it too.  It is easy to prepare, can be made ahead of time, and the recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. 

This was the case when I included this dish in the Mexican Fiesta we had when Marissa was confirmed earlier this month.  I made three pans of this pasta, a crockpot full of Chicken Fajitas and 3 pans of Chicken Enchiladas.  

While we were at the ceremony, my friend Karen, came over and put the pasta and the enchiladas into the oven so everything was ready when the guests arrived.

Kids and Adults both were crazy about this dish.  I had leftovers of every other dish except this one.  That tells you something.

You might want to include this dish when you make your Weekly Menu.  It is easy to make and very budget friendly.  

We went out to dinner last night as the Teen is on a church retreat so we celebrated Valentine's Day a day late.

This week is going to be spent getting ready for our Dive trip to Cozumel.  We leave next Saturday and I cannot wait!!  Here's what's on our menu this week.
