I didn’t exactly start out making Sweet Potatoes Mexican Rice today. I’ve been making rice and beans together for the last couple of weeks. The peppers in my garden are ripening, so I need to use them while I still have them! I just started […]
I know that I’m going to make Enchiladas w/ Pinto Beans, Mexican Rice, & Roasted Potatoes. Ordinarily, I would make enchilada sauce. However, I’m feeling a bit lazy at the moment. After all, I did just make Slow Cooker Pinto Beans w/ Habaneros & Garlic, […]
I can’t say that I have any experience with “authentic” crema. It’s one of those things where there doesn’t seem to be a lot of consistency across recipes. Although I’m always trying to recreate the flavor of it baked on top of the world’s most […]
Fall is in full swing. And you know what that means? It’s pepper season. I might be considered a pepper aficionado at this point. I eat an enormous amount of peppers. But I also like to grow my own peppers. And don’t get me wrong, […]

The final days of summer are almost upon us. Daylight is beginning to dwindle and grilling season is coming to a close. Not that it’s not possible to barbecue during a snowstorm. It wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice? But, given a power outage in […]
I’ve been going through my pantry trying to figure out how to use all of the things that I’ve just been carrying around for far too long! Today I’ve come across an entire jar of sunflower seeds. The problem with sunflower seeds is that I’m […]
I’m not entirely sure what I want to make today. I have a plethora of beans and quinoa in the pantry that I’m trying to use up. So, I’m thinking that I’m going to make some kind of quinoa and black bean concoction. I don’t […]
