Avocado Crema

This is my “I put this sh*t on everything sauce”… I honestly don’t remember when I came up with this crema because I’ve been making it for years but it definitely had to do with a taco and wanting to use something healthier than sour cream. I just came up with it one day and…

Mu Shu Chicken with Scallion Pancakes

I’ve been on a Chinese kick lately… We all know Jews love Chinese.  And this recipe got over the top amazing reviews from the hubby and my guests . It’s a bit labor intensive for prep work but it’s a much healthier alternative to Chinese take out. And honestly, it was worth all the chopping…

‘Ugly’ Steak n Cheese Tacos

Tacos!!!! I LOVEEEEE TACOS.  I’ve been making this recipe for a few years now and I’m always encouraging friends to try it. But I’ve never posted the recipe because the photo of the steak… eh not so pretty. I finally decided to suck it up and just post it because I make this meal on…

Pork Carnitas

Initially I was weirded out by the technique of cooking pork carnitas…so much so that I almost scratched the idea. But I didn’t have 8-12 hours to slow cook the pork all day so I was really forced into the decision. And I’m so glad. This pork was so delicious and so tender and unlike anything…

Crock Pot Flank Steak Tacos

We all have busy days when we don’t have time to cook dinner so the crock pot is a wonderful tool for the working….any person. I was very skeptical about putting flank steak in a crock pot but I would never post anything I didn’t think was awesome. 10 minutes in the morning allows you…

Oven Fried Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

In an effort to keep things healthy post January 1, last weekend I decided to try a healthy spin on buffalo chicken wraps–one of my favorites. Whats better than a soft flour tortilla, crunchy fried chicken smothered in buffalo sauce, some mayo or ranch and crunchy lettuce…. amazing. So, how can we make this better?…

Ancho Chicken Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw and Avocado Crema

It’s taco night!! Kyle and I LOVE tacos. We have multiple restaurants nearby that serve fantastic tacos: Bodega in Darien, Molcajetes and Tacos Mexico in Norwalk and in Hartford, my coworkers and I love (almost) weekly trips to the Lucky Taco truck parked on Bushnell Park. Tacos are versatile, incredibly flavorful and the best part,…

Tacos de Barbacoa

For some reason I have always been intimidated by large roasts and the braising process. I guess it’s fear of the unknown. But after making barbacoa I’m not sure why I was so scared; it was one of the easiest dinners I have made. If you have been to Chipotle you are at least somewhat…

Flank Steak Fajitas with Chimichurri Sauce

Flank steak is delicious, inexpensive and relatively easy to prepare. Pair it with some chimichurri sauce and you’ve got yourself a fresh and tasty fajita night with very little prep and cooking time. Use whole wheat tortillas to keep it healthy. Ingredients: 1 Flank steak Soy Sauce Beer (preferably a lager) Salt and freshly ground…

Shrimp Tacos with a corn, poblano pepper and black bean salsa

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with tacos.  At work, we make weekly Friday visits to the taco truck.  Thinking about the endless possibilities of what you can put in a taco makes my mouth water.  I’ve made quite a few versions of tacos over the last year but Kyle and I agree, tonight’s…

Tacos!!!

Tacos can be made with any kind of meat, fish or vegetables. I happen to love pulled chicken in this delicious fresh sauce. I never make them the same but try these delicious Mexican treats I made the other night! I wish I had a photo to share! Ingredients Chicken breast Small corn soft tacos…
