My favorite chili recipe by far is my short rib chili, but we like all kinds of chili and we are trying to reduce our red meat a bit more lately for a few reasons, so I made this healthy turkey chili instead. What I like about this recipe is that it has lot ofContinue reading “Turkey Chili”

Ancho Chile Beef Enchiladas
I have a few different enchilada recipes I make repeatedly, but I wanted to try this one that adds dried ancho chilies to the sauce, instead of just chili powder. I love using dried Mexican chilies as they add so much flavor to sauces and dishes. They are so easy to get on amazon too,Continue reading “Ancho Chile Beef Enchiladas”
Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice
I saw a picture of this recipe and it looked so satisfying. It is a pretty simple meal, but I like the combination of highly spiced, grilled chicken, cheese sauce and rice. Ideally you should always marinate chicken breasts the day before, unless the marinade contains a lot of citrus or vinegar, in which caseContinue reading “Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice”
Salsa Cilantro
We eat lots of store bought jarred salsa because it is quick and easy, but homemade salsa is SO, SO much better. It isn’t even really the same thing. I will eat way more fresh salsa than I will jarred. I have previously mentioned my love for the Nopalito cookbook. Everything I have made fromContinue reading “Salsa Cilantro”
Short Rib Chili
Chili is one of those things that everyone makes differently, and there are so many variations. I love a good traditional ground beef chili with tomato based sauce and make that often. This chili, though, is probably our favorite. Short rib chili takes a little more time and work than typical chili, but it hasContinue reading “Short Rib Chili”
Beef, Bean and Cheese Freezer Burritos
These beef, bean and cheese freezer burritos were a weekend project for me last weekend. My husband and son really like a certain brand of frozen burrito made with ground beef, beans, cheese and rice. They are kind of expensive, so I decided to make a homemade version. I started with some premade, uncooked tortillas.Continue reading “Beef, Bean and Cheese Freezer Burritos”
Carnitas Tacos + Taqueria Red Salsa
I think I have mentioned before that we are a bit obsessed with tacos. Especially taqueria style tacos. We used to live in California and had access to some amazing taquerias there. When we first moved east, it was hard to find similar food here. Thankfully now there is a lot more popping up inContinue reading “Carnitas Tacos + Taqueria Red Salsa”
Cilantro Lime Chicken Taco Salad
This dinner salad recipe is originally from the Carlsbad Cravings site, which I love. I love salad, but I especially love salad like this cilantro lime chicken taco salad with a ton of good stuff in it. The more tasty ingredients the better. Homemade dressing also goes a long way to making salads better. TheyContinue reading “Cilantro Lime Chicken Taco Salad”
Beef Birria Tacos
Mexican food in all it’s forms is so incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. My family and I were fortunate to live in California for 15 years and eat the wide variety of authentic Mexican food that was available there. In recent years, a lot more Mexican food has been showing up here in North Carolina too,Continue reading “Beef Birria Tacos”
Cheeseburger Quesadillas
Cheeseburger quesadillas are a great quick weeknight meal when you don’t want to spend more than 20 minutes or so on dinner. I love to make a big complicated recipe a lot of the time, because I truly enjoy cooking. But there are still some days where I just want it to be as fastContinue reading “Cheeseburger Quesadillas”
