Easy Tilapia Tacos

Posted March 21st, 2013 by gimmesomeoven

There’s a reason why fish tacos are a favorite! I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you all today…because I am seriously nuts about fish tacos. They are one of my all-time favorite meals to make, partly because they can be ready to go in less than 20 minutes, and partly because they’re healthy and fresh. But mostly I love fish tacos because they are just so good. Like, SO good! I have taught a handful of friends over the... Read More ›

There are two things I love in this world: Mexican food and falafel. So imagine how much my mind was blown when I discovered that you can, indeed, have BOTH at the same time. It was epic, let me tell you. These Tex Mex Falafel Tacos were the source of said mind blowage. When you make crispy falafel patties using black beans, taco seasoning and other Mexican-inspired ingredients, then tuck them into a tortilla with creamy lime-cilantro yogurt... Read More ›

Corned Beef Hash Benedict

Posted March 18th, 2013 by macheesmo

Corned beef is one of those foods that walks the line between simple and elegant. At its core, it’s just pickled beef that has been cured and simmered, but if you make it at home you can customize the flavors and make it your own. No matter if you make it from scratch or have one prepared for you, you’ll almost certainly have leftovers after a big corned beef dinner. In fact, I would make sure you do – then you can make this Corned Beef... Read More ›

Quinoa Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce

Posted March 12th, 2013 by TheFoodinmyBeard

It’s no wonder quinoa has gotten so popular in the past few years. Not only is it super healthy and delicious, it’s also crazy versatile! I've used it in soups, stews, and risottos, and as a replacement for rice, pasta, polenta, oatmeal…and now meat! These Quinoa Burgers are a perfect place for the supergrain to shine as a meat replacement. They not only come out juicy and tender, they’re packed with protein and have a meaty flavo... Read More ›

Japanese Pork Belly Ramen Soup

Posted March 8th, 2013 by macheesmo

As a home cook, there are some things that you just have to come to terms with. For me, one of those things is that I probably won’t ever be able to make the perfect bowl of ramen. A perfect bowl of ramen might not even exist. But if it does, it takes decades to get right and definitely doesn’t come in the tiny plastic packet that most Americans think of when they think of ramen. After coming to terms with that though, it becomes ver... Read More ›

Tamale Bake Casserole

Posted March 7th, 2013 by TheFoodinmyBeard

Tamales are one of my favorite foods, but every time I think about making them, the task seems a bit too daunting and I give up before I even start. That’s because you have to wrap each tamale individually, and steam them for two hours! And before you even get started, you have to find the corn husks to wrap them in – which can be a pain. This Tamale Bake Casserole solves all those problems, and still leaves you with a delicious take on t... Read More ›
