As I am scrambling around at the last minute each Halloween looking for a costume and trying to plan on what to make for this year’s Halloween parties, I tell myself that next Halloween I am going to plan ahead and pick out a costume and plan a great Halloween-themed food in SEPTEMBER! …or at…
Mexican Recipes
Street tacos, enchiladas, real flavor built from chiles and spice and technique — Mexican cooking is one of the most vibrant cuisines in the world, and it's enormously practical for one or two people. These recipes bring the real thing into your kitchen.
Holy Guacamole!
Avocados are a funny thing. They’re kind of like Cilantro in the way that people respond to them. People are either a huge fan or they really can’t stand them. Admittedly, I was in the latter camp on both accounts. As you can see from my last recipe, Cinco de Mayo Street Tacos, and this…
TACO TUESDAY:
Cinco de Mayo Street Tacos
Don’t get me wrong, the traditional tacos I had growing up hold a special place in my heart…especially when they’re done well. To this day, I still remember the traditional tacos my first girlfriend’s mom used to make. They were fantastic…those were traditional tacos done right! To this day, I don’t know exactly what she…

In all fairness, tacos have their own day…Tuesday…so it’s only natural I would think of them first. Darn Taco marketers. Growing up, my mom would make more traditional Enchiladas,…
Homemade Taco Seasoning

It’s so much fresher and less expensive than the packets…plus, you can adjust the seasoning and heat to your personal tastes. Make a little extra and store it in an airtight container so…
Margarita!
There is no denying, I love Margaritas! Definitely, my drink of choice…although, I’ve been craving a good ice-cold IPA lately. I digress. I was never a big drinker. I didn’t even drink in college before I was 21. Yep, I was the perpetual “Designated Driver” (or as we called them down South, “Sober Driver”). I…
