We featured these Spinach Gnocchi at Weelicious in our round up of easy freezer toddler meals, but let’s be honest: They look delicious for us grown ups too. Plus, one family, one dinner.

I love a good soft taco, but have been craving the hard shell variety lately. These Easy Baked Tacos at Feasting at Home look scrumptious and couldn’t be easier to make. Yay for store-bought shortcuts.

I love all of these creative hot dog recipes, but am eyeing the Mango Bacon Salsa-Covered Hot Dogs at SheKnows for this week.
