Hi! I'm Tara.
so nice to meet you!
I'm an almost empty-nester just trying to figure out how much food to cook for dinner!
My husband Luke and I live in Ohio with a varying number of our 5 kids on any given day. But a little oceanfront bungalow is our dream and hopefully in our very near future!
Some of my fave things include cooking + baking (obvs!), sunny beach days, my JEEP Wrangler 392XR, and an icy cold paloma drink...
Dinner is served!
Busy Weeknight Dinners is packed with quick and easy meal ideas the whole family will love.
