Baked Tacos — Chicken or Beef!

Baked Tacos -- A Pinch of Joy Choose chicken of beef for quick, easy, delicious tacos!

Toad in the Hole Grilled Cheese Sandwich - A Pinch of Joy

I’ve  wanted to make Toad in the Hole ever since I read a British children’s book that referred to it – maybe at age 11 or 12.  The name fascinates me!  Recently I saw a grilled cheese sandwich topped with Toad in the Hole.  What could be better than that?  One more check mark on […]
