One Pot Taco Spaghetti

Taco Tuesday sure is delicious this week!

I decided to try something different because not only was it Taco Tuesday but it was also my daughter Stella’s birthday!

We call her Spaghetti Stella because this kid loves a big ol’ plate of spaghetti so she requests it on her birthday every year. I try to come up with a different recipe to make it fun, so this year I combined spaghetti with another family favorite- tacos to make Taco Spaghetti! It turned out amazing and everyone gobbled it up. Even better it is made in just one large pot so it is easy and saves on clean up!

    I love tacos! And I love taco spaghetti even better. It is awesome how a dish can be cooked different ways. In the Philippines, we like out spaghetti sweetened.

After cruising down Route 66 last week we decided to make a pit stop for lunch at this one of a kind spot located on Kingsley Air Field: 🛩️ Hangar Kafe. 
We watched planes take off, pet the friendly local pups, checked out the vintage cars on display, and then went inside the cozy themed restaurant and  enjoyed a tasty home-cooked diner style meal. Highly recommend checking them out! 
Bonus: skydiving and hot air balloon rides are offered next door!
