If you ask a lot of people what their favorite food is, chances are they will say either pizza or tacos. Both of these are American staples. Personally I’m a huge fan of Mexican food and I could eat it practically every day of the week. My favorite dish is tostada shells loaded up with black beans, cheese, lettuce and salsa. So why not put both of these favorites together into one super favorite?

With the popularity of Pinterest, the love of entertaining is on the rise. Mini desserts, food on sticks and d.i.y decorations are regularly gracing summer cookouts, kid’s birthdays and dinner parties. I love to entertain. I planned a spring-themed candy and dessert table for my sister’s high school graduation party several years ago and a construction party for my son’s fourth birthday, mostly with ideas from Pinterest. (Ok, I’ll admit it; I’m a bit addicted!) The parties all turned out wonderful and guests loved the themes and ideas, but they were time-consuming and expensive to plan.

Simple, whole foods--without prominent packaging or tedious ingredient lists--are the mainstays of a healthy diet. Mail-order meals and dieting plans are honorable options, if that works for you, but remember there is always the opportunity to explore healthy eating with fresh foods and a few flavorful and natural condiments. Litehouse Foods Dressings and Instantly Fresh Herbs compliment my family’s healthy lifestyle and are becoming my go-to seasonings for fresh, natural ingredients.
