There’s something about watching football while raking a chip through hot cheesy dip. It just feels good. I hadn’t planned on making, picturing and sharing this recipe today, but it’s Game Day and we deserve it. You and me. Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip is soooo easy. Five ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need. Continue reading »

I lay in bed Sunday morning pretending to be asleep. There was a steady rain tapping on the window, the kind that lulls you to sleep. It was not my morning to get up with the dogs (yet if I were already awake when the first bark came would it seem only reasonable that I take them out, even though I did the day before). These are my words, we’re not really score keepers.
I justified my silent stillness by creating recipes in my mind. Savory Egg Stuffed Poblano Peppers nestled on a bed of enchilada sauced white beans. I did not take the dogs out. Continue reading »

Trust me when I tell you once you go with Homemade Enchilada Sauce you’ll never go back to the canned variety. From start to finish in 20 minutes and worth every one of those. Continue reading »

This might be my most favorite salad EVER. I’m sometimes reminded not to make statements that can’t stand the test of thyme. If you deliver me a Tipico Power Bowl {with Grilled Chicken} 5 days a week, I’m certain I will sing your praises. Continue reading »

I had a salad this week that stopped me in my eating tracks. There was a lot going on with said salad. Which made my mind drift from the company at the table. No disrespect, but whoa what a salad.
In my mind’s voice (also known as “In my head”) I dissected this salad, “What was that? Is that a schmear of black beans under the bed of lettuce. Holy heck, will you look at that shard of golden fried tortilla. This isn’t your every-day ‘Pico’ with that lime punch. Wait. Big lime flavor with a subtle coconut nuance. Unexpected. Completely fresh and inspirational.”
We’ll call this Pico de Gallo {Put The Lime In The Coconut}. Continue reading »

Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl.
I went to Pet Smart during lunch to replenish Lilah’s food. Pet Smart is very close to Pier One. I was smack in the middle of Healthy Lunch Bowl Week. They sell really pretty bowls. Continue reading »

Why have I waited so long to discover how easy AND inexpensive it is to make Restaurant-Style Salsa at home, by simply using your blender?!
We love Fresh Tomato Salsa in the summer when the tomatoes are abundant and delicious. But frankly, I’m not willing to pay for over-priced, not all that tasty, supermarket tomatoes during the winter months. Instead we turn to our freezer where we’ve got Homemade Tomato Sauce and to our pantry where we always have canned tomatoes on hand. Continue reading »
