Dinner Time: Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos.

Hey pals, I know that my blogging has been less than consistent lately (or consistent only of baby updates), but I just made this recipe last night and you need to make it for dinner immediately. No lie, this recipe was easy and absolutely delicious. Even Dylan loved it, and when my ridiculously picky 4 year eats it up, I feel definite feelings of triumph. Like I feel like there should be a balloon drop in my kitchen or something. Just don't make me clean it up, ok?

I found the recipe for Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos  on Six Sister's Stuff, which is a great resource for dinner ideas. 

So take my word for it, this recipe is awesome- cook it, eat it, enjoy it.
