Corn Tortillas
Monday, January 4, 2010
One of my criteria when we dine out at Mexican restaurants is the tortillas (corn and flour). In my mind, homemade tortillas are far superior to the mass-produced store versions and they make all of the difference in a dish! Corn tortillas are made out of masa harina which literally means “dough flour” in Spanish. Experiment with different masa flours until you find the flavor that you like best.
Flour Tortillas
Monday, January 4, 2010
When I eat at Mexican restaurants I am always most anxious to sample the tortillas (corn and flour). In my mind, homemade tortillas are far superior to the mass-produced store versions and they make all of the difference in a dish! I have tried many different recipes. After a few successes and many flops, I have stumbled upon the following combination of ingredients. The result: my best flour tortillas to date! (although I will continue my quest to perfect them). They are thin and pliable, yet soft and tenderly chewy.
Taco Meat
Monday, January 4, 2010
This taco meat doesn’t require any store-bought seasoning packets but it is just as easy to make. It is so juicy and flavorful that you can easily substitute ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option (and some people might not even notice a difference!).
Southwest Lasagne
Monday, January 4, 2010
Inspired by Mexican flavors, this non-traditional lasagne recipe is easy to throw together on a busy night. Save time by not pre-cooking the lasagne noodles.
Macaroni and Cheese
Monday, January 4, 2010
Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. I like to use a variety of cheeses and mix ham chunks, chicken sausage and/or veggies into the creamy noodles.
Baked Chicken Tenders
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
Make this healthier baked version of fried chicken tenders without sacrificing any of the flavor. For a fun and creative dinner, have a dipping sauce competition where every member of the family makes a dipping sauce. Then act as taste testers during dinner to select your favorites.
Teriyaki Flank Steak Marinade
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
This teriyaki marinade also makes a restaurant-quality teriyaki chicken. The key to the marinade is to let the meat marinate for at least several hours. If you let the meat marinate for 1-2 days it will melt in your mouth just like candy.
Easy Enchilada Casserole
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
This basic enchilada casserole is a dream for a busy evening. It comes together quickly and you can use your imagination, adding whatever you would like to the layers.

Tuesday, December 29, 2009
This no-fuss teriyaki chicken recipe is quick and easy and perfect for those nights where you don’t really have time to make dinner!
