Kailyn: Tacos! All things tacos! I love being able to switch it up with what goes in my tacos,
Mix in some seasonal veggies, new spices and different proteins! I also love cooking salmon a 100 different ways, but my absolute favorite is red curry salmon paired with eggplant, spinach and coconut jasmine rice! I love lots of flavor, yum!
