Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo and I was definitely going to be making Mexican food for dinner in celebration. I made sure to make my time spent in the kitchen as fun as possible while preparing our dinner. I usually have my favorite stations that I ask “Alexa” to play for me, but yesterday I…

Guacamole
Happy Cinco de Mayo, Everyone! This year Cinco de Mayo will be celebrated a little differently for most since we can’t go out to a Mexican Restaurant to enjoy our favorite Cinco de Mayo meals and appetizers. I wanted to share with you one of my guacamole recipes that you can make and enjoy in…
Huevos Rancheros
While I had the tv on for background noise on Saturday morning, I was listening to one of the chefs on a cooking show talk about making Huevos Rancheros. I’ve never actually had Huevos Rancheros before, but I know my husband, Dennis, loves it. I thought of it as a breakfast dish and to me…
Green Chile Cheese Crisp
If you saw the recipe I posted on my blog from last night, you’ll remember that it was for Chicken Tortilla Soup. I had mentioned in my blog post that Dennis and I were looking forward to enjoying that same soup again tonight for dinner. In wanting to make sure the dinner was a little…
Ground Beef and Corn Tacos
It’s Tuesday and we all know what that means … Taco Tuesday! I actually made these tacos last week using ground turkey, but wanted to try my spice mixture on lean ground beef and see which one I liked better. Normally, I’m a ground turkey girl, but I have to say I loved this seasoning…
Salmon Tacos
Dennis and I have both been craving salmon, so I decided I’d make salmon for dinner tonight. Dennis asked if we could make salmon tacos and I was all over that. I actually thought about making salmon tacos for Cinco de Mayo, but we ended up going to a great restaurant called Tocaya here in…
Tequila Citrus Shredded Pork Tacos
I have a great recipe for your Taco Tuesday, or any other night of the week. This shredded pork can be used in mini street tacos, burritos, on a salad, on a bun … you name it. I think you can eat this in so many ways and I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to make it…
Chicken Burritos
Guess what’s for dinner tonight? Burritos! It’s Taco Tuesday, after all. I made sure to make enough for leftovers for tomorrow night because I knew these would be so tasty, I’d want this dinner two nights in a row. Starting with four thin sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts, I made several slits in the chicken…
Slow-Roasted Spiced Pork Tacos
Saturday night I hosted our dinner club and made Ina Garten’s Slow-Roasted Spiced Pork. Everyone that was at our house that night thought this pork would be fabulous served in tacos. Since I had so much meat left over, that’s exactly what I decided to do tonight. My good friend, Karin, who’s in our dinner…
Cinco de Mayo Nachos
Last night for Cinco de Mayo, I decided to make a big cast iron skillet of chicken nachos for Dennis and myself for dinner. Kylie was out with her friend, so it was just the two of us hanging out in front of the t.v. watching a movie. I started by seasoning and roasting two…
