This dish gets made in my kitchen a lot. These simple burritos make a really satisfying and inexpensive lunch or dinner. If you want to add extras to the filling or topping, it’s also a yummy way to repurpose and disguise leftovers – cooked meats, leftover rice, black olives, etc. Fried Bean Burritos – Enchilada … Continue reading
Bake time: 30-40 minutes Prep time: 20 minutes This makes a large amount of very rich macaroni and cheese. Cut the recipe in half to serve a family of four.

Heat oven to 325. Season chicken breasts and thighs with salt, pepper … Continue reading
One of my favorite lunch spots has to be my friend Reggie’s house. We cook, we chat and, of course, drink wine! Our favorite thing to cook (for now)? Pasta Primavera. I make the noodles, she makes the killer sauce and we share wine glass-filling duty. Today’s selection was a La Crema chardonnay– a fair-and-just … Continue reading
