Tacos in a bag have become part of our dinner menu rotation. While they are not as frequently served as say, chicken, they are certainly not unexpected.
Thing is, sometimes I "cook by feel" or think I have all of the ingredients to make a dish and even when I prepare a meal immediately post grocery shopping, it is quite possible I have forgotten something and have to make a substitution.
The Mr. and I went grocery shopping and yes, I had a list as well as a few mental notes. I would need cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. I already had meat at home and salsa. Suddenly, I remembered, I need the chips. I usually buy a large cardboard box of mixed chips marketed to families with school aged children so they may include a bag with their lunch. I spot a bag of mixed chips, same company, with the same images of chips on the outside. I toss it in the cart and I am done.
At home, I prepare all of the ingredients, set the table and open the bag of mixed chips. I discover the bag was cheaper because of course it contains less individual size bags of chips and so, there are only 4 of the desired nacho cheese flavor and 2 of the cool ranch. Simply not enough. Luckily I had also purchased multi-grain scoops for football snacking but they could be crumbled into a plate and topped with the taco ingredients. Whew. Close call.

What is is about the way food looks to me that enhances the feeling of being Fed Well?
