Apparently Erin and I were thinking along the same lines the other night, because my most recent dish was also a pasta sauce! I was craving a springy vegetable sauce, like a pasta primavera, but I decided to go with this sauce instead. It was inspired by a dish that I used to eat almost ...
For anyone who is paying attention, Mike and are eating a lot of meat this week. What can I say, my inner carnivore went wild when I made the grocery list! And Fresh Direct is now offering grass fed, free range, organic lean ground meat. How could we say no to meat with such an outstanding ...
This is so simple it shouldn't even count as a post, but for any of you sausage lovers who are scared to mix it into their eggs, this is for you! We were out of tortillas this morning so we served the sausage-y goodness with toast and sliced fresh pears BUT, in a flour or corn tortilla, ...
These are a slight riff off of the green chile tacos I posted in March so follow the same recipe but use black beans instead of pinto and top it off with chopped fresh avocado. So delicious, I could have these every day. I also sprinkled some fresh lime juice over the top of the finished taco ...
