Eating out doors is a cinch with simple skillet taco salad. Easy to fix and transport to the patio, oh and good too. We enjoyed the nice Spring evening together. First I couldn’t get the kids to come to the table until I said we are eating outside. The little furry family members enjoyed being outside too, so I included a few of the many poses we shot with them.
