Sweet Mesquite Taco Soup from Dine & Dish

I didn’t end up creating a menu plan last week because we were out of town over the weekend and I just didn’t get it done. I can tell you that our wallets and waistlines both saw just what failing to plan does… I spent more money eating out and I’m sure that equaled more calories and junk being put in our bodies. I am convinced that planning our menu weekly is definitley the way to stay on track!

Here’s our menu plan for this week, and below that a recipe for Mesquite Taco Soup that I threw together today. It was so good!

I hope you’ll share what’s on your menu as well!

And now for the Mesquite Taco Soup recipe using Bush’s Sweet Mesquite Grillin’ Beans…

    Mmm. I just need to steal other people’s menus they post and make one of my own. I never make one and dinner time is a pain. But if I planned it, it would be much better.

    I hope you enjoy the Chicken Fajitas. I’ve also made a beef version that we loved. So easy! I’ve got fish tacos on my menu this week too. So easy and good!

    I really make my life easier when I meal plan also. I pretty much have to plan leftovers into ours when I do though. I still haven’t gotten cooking for two down pat. Your soup looks awesome. Maybe we should just plan to eat with you! 🙂

    Such a great easy soup Kristen! I’ve been majorly slacking on meal planning, and it’s just not working well for us either. It gets so expensive to eat out so much, then I feel kinda ick.
    Soup like this gives me no excuse!
