Never in my days have I come across a cabbage recipe that had a Mexican flare to it. Eating it cooked with tomatoes, beans, sweet corn, onion, cumin and chili powder was a whole new yummy experience.
This succulent, spicy and just-a-little-sweet Asian beef is almost sinfully easy to prepare in the slow-cooker -no pre-browning, extensive preparation or complicated sauces- yet somehow yields incredibly deep flavours.
This recipe is pretty comforting as well. Like a blanket of happiness wrapped around meats. Ha. And since we don’t eat tortillas in this little paleo community of ours, I had to turn to the next best thing. Sweet potatoes.
These adorable trees are so easy to make just by coloring up a batch of Bisquick pancakes! Each tree is stack of different size pancakes with fun, festive decorations that will delight young and old alike.
I pulled together a healthy, vegetarian (actually, this one will satisfy those who prefer vegan, too) soup for dinner. Truth be told, I needed something light after a weekend of hot gravy sandwiches
Steamed butternut squash, kale and quinoa topped with a southwestern tahini sauce and pepitas make for a well-rounded and nutritious dinner! Vegan Yack Attack
The capers and parsely complement this mild fish quite nicely and I often find myself slurping up the sauce and last slivers of fish with a soup spoon.
Yes, these Mexican culinary wonders are a lot of work, and they take a lot of time. On the bright side, the work isn’t difficult and boy, is it worth it in the end.
