Chicken Enchiladas
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009This was an experiment, as Shaun wanted something different for dinner. It was a decent quick meal. It needs some tweaking, but all in all not a bad simple start. I'll definitely season the chicken some next time. If you're normal, you'll probably want to add ...
Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Pork Burritos
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009We roasted two pork tenderloins for dinner Sunday night (similar to this recipe, but without the final glaze). For a side I served some baked winter squash, a baby hubbard squash in this case. The squash baked at the same temperature. I just cut it in half, ...
What We’ve Been Eating
Sunday, September 20th, 2009So, I've been a bad blogger and not really posting about our meals. There have been a lot of tried and true recipes with the occasional small twist, so not much new, but I'll post a bit of a summary anyway. Galbi with Sautéed Summer Squash and Rice Pork, Mushroom, and ...
Mexican Rice
Thursday, September 10th, 2009This was an experiment that turned out very well. I'll definitely be making this again! I wanted to see if I could just cook Mexican rice in my rice cooker, and it turned out even better than I hoped. It was very easy and tasty. We ...
Cumin Rubbed Denver Steak Burritos
Monday, June 8th, 2009I saw a "Denver Cut" steak in the store the other day and just had to get it, as I grew up near Denver. I was fascinated to read the story behind the cut (see the link), and planned on grilling them right from the start. On the ...
Chile Rubbed Pork Tenderloin (revisited)
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009Tonight I grilled up some chile rubbed pork tenderloin and served the meat with tortillas, salsa, and refried beans. I added a tsp of onion powder to the rub and used more like 5 cloves of garlic. It took about 25 minutes on the grill, low heat, turning ...
Citrus Grilled Chicken (revisited)
Thursday, April 30th, 2009About a month ago I made this citrus grilled chicken. Tonight I made a couple tweaks - adding cumin and replacing the food coloring with turmeric, which added some flavor as well as keeping the distinct yellow color. I'm quite happy with it now. It still isn't ...
Chile Lime Chicken Tostadas
Monday, April 27th, 2009This was a quick and easy dinner that I came up with on the fly. I had some skinless boneless chicken thighs that needed to be used up, so I threw together a Mexican-inspired wet rub, grilled them up, along with some tortillas, and made some very tasty tostadas. ...
Fish Tacos
Saturday, April 18th, 2009These were a nice light meal, satisfying without being too heavy. They're reminiscent of the tacos we could get in San Diego and that are popular along the Baja Peninsula in Mexico. I'm submitting these to Joelen's Foodie Films: Tortilla Soup event. Fish Tacos Serves 2 For the fish: 1 lb fillets of mild ...
