Sigh. It ended up tasting just fine but I definitely did NOT need those extra calories! familyoffoley.wordpress.comLiz F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10695120840255296422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253592288085984287.post-11990165718599286872016-01-22T08:24:16.811-06:002016-01-22T08:24:16.811-06:00I LOVE these tacos!

I have made it several times and I just can't get enough!

Every time I tell my mom about a new meal I made for myself, she always asks "did you get the recipe from your food bestie?" (aka you) haha.

Though I've always loved homemade food, I NEVER cooked or even really knew how to until I started trying your recipes. I'm a 20-something single (well, engaged, so not single for much longer! :D) girl who works as a missionary journalist. My time is limited and it's not too fun cooking for one anyways. But I LOVE your recipes-- they are so easy and freeze so well, which makes cooking for one worth it! Thanks for helping me learn how to cook! Both myself and my future hubby will be forever grateful. :)Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253592288085984287.post-51870981846226549202013-12-28T21:08:00.250-06:002013-12-28T21:08:00.250-06:00I don't normally comment on blogs but find com...I don't normally comment on blogs but find comments on recipes so valuable... so, people, these are so great!

We loved them! I had the same question as another user about the pesto. I only put about 1/4 a cup because felt it would be way too much and it made the tacos quite oily. I think I am using the wrong pesto- do you have suggestions for what kind?
