When I saw skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts at the market the other day, I decided to grab a package. It seems I mostly cook skinless, boneless chicken breasts and more often than not, the thin sliced breasts. I was in the mood to change things up a bit and that’s what I did. Last night…

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…
Mexican Lasagne
Are you looking for something tasty to include in your Mexican Monday or Taco Tuesday rotation? I have a recipe that I think will satisfy your tastebuds for either of those nights, or any night, actually. I’d been wanting to try and make a Mexican lasagne for a couple weeks now, so finally got around…
Crock-Pot Orange Jalapeño Pork Tenderloin Taco Recipe
I always think of pork as “the other white meat”. I did some searching on the web today to see if pork really is considered a white meat. It’s actually a red meat … the article I read said pork is a red meat and called it “pink”. I did read, however, that some cuts…
Meatball Recipe
Everyone has their favorite comfort food. Mine is definitely Italian food, specifically spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs I’ve made tonight can be used either with spaghetti for spaghetti and meatballs, in a roll with marinara sauce for a meatball sandwich, or made smaller as an appetizer for a party or watching the big game. I…
Greek Yogurt Ranch Chicken Recipe
Don’t we all love ranch dressing, at least to some extent? Maybe it brings back memories of being a kid, or of our own kids … everything seems to taste better dipped in ranch – carrots, celery, chicken nuggets, French fries, I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Tonight for dinner,…
Brie Stuffed Burger
It’s Sunday and because it’s Sunday I thought it would be a good night to make hamburgers for dinner. It’s on the simple side and that’s what I wanted for tonight. I know Kylie enjoys hamburgers and Dennis does as well. Kylie’s second semester at CSUSM starts up tomorrow. She is actually looking forward to…
Portobello Mushroom Burger
I actually ate my first portobello mushroom burger today. In my 51 years of life, I’m a bit ashamed to admit … I’ve not tried this amazing way to eat a burger until now. This was a little bit like a party in my mouth – the flavors came together in just the right way. After…
