One of my absolute favorite fast food meals in the world is a bowl from Chipotle. When you're on the go, or in a pinch, nothing can quite satisfy that hunger like a bowl of delicious Mexican food.

Classic King Ranch Casserole
Let's take a break from the holiday baking, shall we? In the midst of my cookie fervor, I've been making simple dinners that will last. I'm talking casseroles, stews, and big batches of meat to make for sandwiches. This casserole is the quintessential "make in a pinch" dinner. It's a retro classic that has stood… Continue reading Classic King Ranch Casserole
Chicken Fajita Casserole
I think I've made just about every fajita under the sun. I've done sheet pan baked fajitas, salmon fajitas, fajita salads, fajita kebabs...what else is left that I can tackle?!

They're easy to make, easy to… Continue reading Enchilada Meatballs

Cauliflower is insanely good raw, but even… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Style Roasted Cauliflower

Fajitas are a way of life. Growing up, I knew it was going to be a good end to the day if my mom was cooking up a batch of fajitas for dinner. A sizzling hot plate of chicken fajitas with crispy peppers, onions and mushrooms was always a great dinner to be had in… Continue reading Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas
Mushroom & Leek Migas
My cookbook collection continues to grow. I'm almost out of room on my four shelf bookshelf, and the two tubs underneath it are packed to the brim. Every time I go some place new, I scour the are for cookbooks. I've got specific cookbooks from restaurants in Albuquerque. I've got a tiny, spiral-bound cookbook from… Continue reading Mushroom & Leek Migas
