Hi!  My name is Bridget. I'm a stay at home mom from the Chicago suburbs who has a passion for cooking. I love to experiment with new and old recipes. I also like the challenge of trying to make recipes more diet friendly.

I love Chipotle Peppers. I never get sick of them. I love the smoky spicy heat and they make great marinades. It was prefect for my skirt steak. I decided to use hard shell tacos instead of soft and served these tasty tacos along side some cilantro-lime rice. They were delicious!
