This isn't so much a recipe as it is a good use of extra meat from my beef enchilada recipe. As far as nachos go, it's fairly standard, but the meat on top of this mix is what makes it taste so good. Try them during football season sometime and I bet it doesn't [...]
I must have tried a six or seven biscuit recipes until I found this one. The right amount of butter and of course buttermilk make for flaky biscuits. The yield is over a dozen, so you can half the ingredients or freeze the unbaked biscuits you don't need. Prep: 20 minutes Cook: [...]
This isn't just one of my favorite soups, it's one of my favorite smells. The onions, celery and carrots when they go into the pot, combined with the chicken broth and herbs fills the house with a scent unlike any other. As an added bonus, it's a great meal that makes an easy "send with [...]
This is definitely a cool weather food and my family usually requests it as soon as the weather changes. And they keep asking for it all winter. Not a fan of processed food, but Velveeta is the key ingredient in this one and the soup would not be the same without it. Add a [...]
When I find something that I enjoy eating, sort of like the arugula salad, I tend to have it often. For the first two weeks of January I have been having soup for lunch, mostly from the little cafe near my office. Nothing special, but warm and easy. I decided to try my hand at [...]
I'm always in search of a good salad, and I prefer one with a lot of bits and pieces. Starting with a generous serving of arugula, I added shredded carrots, toasted pistachios (chopped into bits to make sure they make it into every bite), shaved asiago, sea salt (don't by shy), olive oil and [...]
Every weekend I ask the kids what they want for breakfast on Sunday. Sabina asks for pancakes. Every. Single. Time. Never mind that she has had frozen pancakes for breakfast the past six days of the week. Soooo, I give in in an effort to get some home made cooking into her body. For [...]
Slow cooked beef, cheese, tomato sauce, cilantro, corn tortillas all adds up to warm gooey goodness. If there are any enchiladas leftover, they make a great lunch the next day. The last time I made these I went a bit crazy buying the meat and ended up with a few extra cups of the [...]
I think the kids leave a few bananas in the fruit bowl just so I have to make these muffins. One of the ingredients is overly ripe bananas. As in the blacker, the better. I modified this recipe from my go-to cookbook The Joy of Cooking. The addition of mini chocolate chips are what [...]
I have a few "go to" cookies and these are one of them. They're a family favorite, so I can usually get someone to help roll them in sugar in order to get them into the oven asap. These are pretty easy to make and very hard to mess up. They key is to [...]
