I am extremely comfortable with Southwestern/Mexican flavors. Which is not to say that I know everything there is to know about Southwestern and Mexican cuisines, because I do not, not by a long shot. But I make soups, tortilla casseroles, hashes, and just basically “invent” them on the fly. Today, while contemplating our choices for…

Especially because I am one of those cornbread fans who completely overindulges in an attempt…
To Try Tuesday Vol. 3
This Seared Mahi Mahi With Green Gazpacho Sauce from The Global Kitchen is another one that might be made by the time I post this. It looks simple and delicious, and it allows me to play some more with the frozen fish (remember I live in the rural midwest, no judging the frozen fish, y’all)…
