A dinner by MR. B!

My life is pretty nuts at the moment! The company I work for is going through a merger, so my days are filled with phone calls, online trainings, and ENDLESS emails! Pair that with trying to workout and keep up with a house, two dogs, and a husband; needless to say, I'm spent by 5:00! I am trying to delegate and ask for help, so 1 or 2 nights a week, I have tasked Mr. B with cooking dinner! Sometimes I let him figure it out on his own, or I give him a recipe and say "Go!", like I did last night.

Recipe comes to you via Pinterest, by way of Gina's Skinnytaste (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/02/turkey-chili-taco-soup.html). One of my new favorite sites! Her recipes are simple and delicious! I love that most of them contain things I usually have on hand in my kitchen!
