Mojo Chicken and Rice is a fast and simple weeknight dinner that is based around the concept of fried rice but uses Cuban mojo sauce for incredible flavor. Affiliate links have been used to link to items I am discussing. Oy. I know I disappeared for a while. I seem to be involved in a…
One Pan Spiced Pork Chops with Bacon
One Pan Spiced Pork Chops with Bacon is an easy, healthy and delicious way to celebrate seasonal cooking. We had all that cold weather, I started craving soups and stews and then wham! Awful heat wave. It is never hot enough to swim over my birthday at the end of September but this year it…
Vegetarian Pozole (or Posole) with Scarlet Runner Beans
Vegetarian Pozole (or Posole) with Scarlet Runner Beans is a hearty soup and one pot meal exploding with different textures and flavors. I had a devil of a time when naming this dish.

Dinner’s a bust but lunch is a success out of the pantry
“Wow, you don’t often have complete failures. I can’t remember the last time we threw the whole dinner out before ever eating it.” Thanks, Honey.
