Naked Burrito Slillet
Sometimes you just need some easy and delicious comfort food. I had made something similar to this before, but I needed to use some particular ingredients. I had grilled some chicken the night before and had a lot leftover. I also had tomatoes and jalapeños from the CSA that I had to use. Looking for…

Two Twisted Taco Recipes
I love tacos. That’s no secret. But I’ve been branching out recently and have tried some new variations on this household favorite…including one for breakfast and one with an Asian flair! I was dreaming of a delicious Saturday morning breakfast and taking into account the ingredients I had on hand (including a green pepper that…

Fall Gardening & Yellow Salsa
My best Brandywine tomato of the year – just harvested! Now that it’s fall, I feel like my garden should be winding down; but, in fact, I have quite a bit still coming in. In part, this is due to the fact that my tomatoes did not begin to ripen until very late in the…

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Many people think that it is Mexico’s Independence Day, but it is not (that’s on September 16th). I knew that…

Qdoba-Inspired Queso Burritos
If you’ve never been to Qdoba, you should go. It’s delicious. In fact, their queso burritos are so good that I decided I needed to find a way to make them at home. I’ve come up with what I think is a fairly close approximation to what I can get there. The one thing that…

What's Cookin? Enchiladas!
One of my family’s favorite dishes that I make is my enchiladas. I created my own recipe, inspired from my dad’s enchiladas that he started making probably when I was in high school, as well as from a few recipes I found online. As with most of my recipes, there are several variations, but here’s…
