Cinqo de Mayo: Eggs baked with Black Beans and Spicy Tomato in a Tortilla Cup

Celebrating Cinqo de Mayo has become the new St Patricks Day- just as the non-Irish drink green beer and eat corned beef, the non Latinos drink Margaritas and eat burritos.  And why not?  Celebrations are fun, and so are margaritas.
So here’s to Cinqo de Mayo!!!! Bug off Arizonians (not all of you, just the racists).

Baked Goat Cheese in an Ancho Chile Red Sauce

No post yesterday as the boyfriend had a tummy bug and therefore could not eat, so I didn’t want to tempt him with my delicious cooking.. ha!  Look at that pot.. isn’t it charming?  Most miniature things are.  Even though it looks like Le Cresuet, it’s not- it’s Nouvelle something or other.
Today I used some [...]

Hot Dog Fest X

Last year, Jon and I began a tradition: Burger Fest.  As vegetarians, we like to eat healthy- it’s one of the reasons we are vegetarian, after all.  However, there are times where we feel that people equate vegetarianism with a boring, healthy diet.  Take plane food for instance, yes it’s horrible, but if you ask [...]

Deconstructed Stuffed Peppers?

I’m not so sure this recipe qualifies as a deconstructed stuffed peppers, I was really going for a free form stuffed pepper, but deconstructed just sounds so much fancier. Use big bell peppers to make a prettier dish! Experiment with the stuffing, quinoa or some variation of Spanish Rice would be good.  I had originally [...]

Smokey Potatoes with Roast Tomatoes, Facon, and Cilantro Pesto

Another versatile recipe useful for getting rid of whatever you’ve got lying around.  In this case I used potatoes and tomatoes with sauteed onions, mushrooms and  FACON (use bacon if you must).  The smokey flavor emanates from Spanish Smoked Paprika.  If you can’t get a hold of this spice, maybe try using some liquid smoke..
