Salsa Chorizo Casserole

April 26, 2017

I have an addiction to Mexican food. Mexican-American. Tex-Mex. Authentic Mexican. Just about any recipe with that flavor profile is a home run for me. Is it the big bold flavors? The passionate use of cheese? The bright and colorful ingredients? Salsa Chorizo Casserole captures all of these things I love.

Did I just say “passionate use of cheese”?

(awkward silence)

Warning…this recipe also includes the wanton use of salsa verde and chorizo.

Sugar Sunset Margaritas

So we have all heard of a Tequila Sunrise, but how about Sunset Margaritas?

These…are dangerous. They taste so sweet and fresh, with a perfect balance of flavors. Freshly squeezed lime and orange juices with a little surprise at the end.

Homemade Refried Beans

May 4, 2016

We will not judge you if you like refried beans from a can. If you can get over the big, gelatinous can shaped bean tower that comes out of the can, they actually taste ok. But, I beg of you, try making your own Homemade Refried Beans.

Why? It is soooo easy, so good, and you will want to kick yourself in the pants for not doing it this way the whole time.

You get to control your own fat content, sodium levels…and they taste 10 times BETTER than what is in the can. You ready?
