These ribs are great. I didn’t know how easy ribs were to make until I tried it. 4 lbs. of ribs will feed 4-6 people, depending on how much meat they like to eat. The chipotle glaze is wonderfully easy and tasty too! These can be made year round, since they are made on an [...]
That is Jamaica, pronounced Ha-My-KA, not Ja-MAY-KA. The dried Jamaica, as seen on the plate, doesn’t exactly resemble the Hibiscus flower it once was. The dried flowers are sold in big open bins in Hispanic/Latino grocery stores. It’s flowers make a beautiful deep red tea that combines beautifully with red wine. It is absolutely delicious. [...]
Avocados are abundant in Mexico, so guacamole is not a treat there, like it is here. You can find it at every restaurant, and the most common and easiest one follows. They make a quick and few ingredient guacamole, and they serve the chips right in the dip.
Be sure to only use the [...]
The fresh garbanzo beans, as seen above, are for sale at any Hispanic or Latino grocery store. They are bright green, and have a fresh pea-looking bean inside. You suck the shell to get the seasoning, pull the bean out with your tounge, and then discard the shell…the same way we eat sunflower seeds.

This is a fabulous addition to [...]

I made this about four times in one week, to perfect it. My neighbors, brother, and friends all really like it, and it’s made with almost everything from your pantry. I usually start this, go to the gym, and when I get back it’s time to shred the chicken and add the rice! Bang bang [...]
These are puffy and soft. Popovers are the kind of thing that you serve with a roast chicken, duck or at thanksgiving dinner. However, they should not be overlooked for a regular dinner party. You probably always have the ingredients around, anyways. You can use any herb; I just always have dill around.
These can be [...]
Around Christmas, when everyone forgets about chickens and remembers how much they love turkey, chicken goes on sale. You can scoop one up for 4-5 bucks here in OK, and no more than $10 anywhere else, plus frozen or refrigerated tortellini are relatively cheap year round.
This is a great alternative to chicken noodle soup, [...]

Talk about easy indulgence! This mix of salad and toast with my favorite cheese ever should not be missed! It’s a great early dinner, with a chilled Rose or Zin. It’s also my favorite brunch when I have foodie friends over. Not everyone loves beets, goat cheese, and alfalfa you know!
If you’re like me and [...]
