While I was on the hunt for a new comfort food recipe the other day, I stumbled across this Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie is the ultimate comfort meal. Potatoes, ground meat, and veggies all combine to make this insanely craveworthy dish. This recipe, though, is just a tad different. It combines a lot of… Continue reading Mexican Shepherd’s Pie

Spicy Chicken Tacos with Southwestern Succotash
It was this time of year two years ago that my husband and I went on a road trip to New Mexico. I had been to New Mexico several different times before then, but I really fell in love with it on that 2019 trip. It's such an enchanting place, with its desert & mountain… Continue reading Spicy Chicken Tacos with Southwestern Succotash
Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
You ever have these grandiose ideas for dinner, sit down to cook it up, and then it turns out nothing like you had envisioned? That was me cooking this tamale pie recipe. The first problem: I didn't make enough of the "tamale" mixture to cover the top. My second problem: I didn't season my "tamale"… Continue reading Turkey & Black Bean Tamale Pie
Chile Garlic Shrimp
I've been dying to find new shrimp recipes. I love shrimp. I adore it. Shrimp was my favorite food growing up. When my mom would ask me what I wanted for my birthday dinner, half the time it was some form of shrimp or seafood. Shrimp was always a fancy, but not too fancy form… Continue reading Chile Garlic Shrimp
Chicken & Bean Freezer Burritos
Boy howdy is my freezer packed full right now. It's times like these that I wish I had a secondary freezer to stock meat and meals. Alas, all I have is a small, overly-stuffed freezer right now. I'm pretty sure all of the food is blocking the freezing cold air from moving through, too. Oh… Continue reading Chicken & Bean Freezer Burritos
Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
There was a big Hatch green chile event going on at Crest yesterday. There were at least three huge grills outside and crews were busy roasting the green chiles over an open flame. I got suckered into a big display in the produce section: I got almost two pounds of fresh roasted green chiles for… Continue reading Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
I had to google what the difference between chiles and peppers yesterday. And guess what? I still don't understand what separates them from each other. It has something to do with the chemical makeup of what makes them spicy or not, but that's all weird scientific semantics to me. Peppers, chiles, whatever you call them---they… Continue reading Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
Extra Spicy Chicken Enchilada Bowls
When you knock out one of the four tastes, you’ve really got to get to work making sure the other three really knock it out of the ballpark. The lack of sweetness in my life really isn’t that bad, since I’m not too keen on desserts or fruit. The problem I run into, though, is… Continue reading Extra Spicy Chicken Enchilada Bowls
Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Tacos and I have a long, sordid history with each other. Many moons ago, when eating at a Mexican restaurant, I would always order enchiladas. If not enchiladas, than fajitas. If not fajitas, then quesadillas. You get the gist. Tacos were very far down on my list of things to eat. I used to cringe… Continue reading Turkey & Poblano Taco Bowls
Green Chile Breakfast Burritos
Wichita Falls, Texas, isn't on a lot of people's radars. It's never in any Buzzfeed list. You have to preface it with, "just a couple hours north of Dallas" when people ask you where you're from. Even the biggest names to ever come out of Wichita Falls (see: band Bowling for Soup) refuse to admit… Continue reading Green Chile Breakfast Burritos
