I’ve made enchiladas before but I’ve never tried one with green sauce. You know, green from tomatillos and green chiles. I’ve actually never tried tomatillos before but I really loved their tartness. If you can’t find them, feel free to substitute green tomatoes. (I actually added a few green tomatoes from my garden and it…

Fathers Day Menu
It took me a couple of days to prepare this meal since my 8 week old calls the shots around our house these days but I wanted to be sure to do something special for Fathers Day. I made tequila lime chicken, cilantro lime rice (think Chipotle), black bean and corn salsa with tortilla chips…
Grilled Fish Tacos
This is my go-to meal at any Mexican restaurant. I do not like them heavily breaded and fried but rather grilled or lightly fried.

The Spanish have paella, Indians have biriyani and there is the ever popular chicken and rice casserole with condensed soup and cheese that Americans enjoy (not a fan of that, by the way). I realize this recipe is not authentic to…

Chipotle at Home
Our family loves Chipotle. I would have been devastated if our small town did not have one here…that along with Chick-fil-A, but I digress. Most people do not know that the flour tortillas have 290 calories, the serving of white rice has 130 calories and the chips have 570 calories! Tack on sour cream and…
Welcome and a recipe for Smoky Beef Tacos!
Photos in this post have been updated – January 2019. Welcome to my food blog! I’ve wanted to do a food blog for a while now and finally took the plunge when a dear friend (Rachel!) encouraged me to do so. I love to cook and find every aspect of it therapeutic. I find most…
