Well, here's a non-applesauce version of pork chops...using fresh apples instead. Because I'm a rebel like that. Seriously, this is some amazing food. Also, please pardon the iphone photos here. The baby ran off with my SD card for my camera … [Read more...]

They are very pretty and have a wide variety of flavors that can take you from breakfast to dinner. I enjoy tamales as long as someone else makes them. They take up a lot of space to store and cook, are challenging to reheat in large quantities, and … [Read more...]

Spinach Meatballs with Spaghetti
If you've never added spinach to your meatballs and sauteed them and let them bubble for a bit in the marinara sauce, you're missing out! These meatballs are fantastic...I think because of the way that the beef cooks in the sauce and the sauce cooks into the beef. These meatballs just take a few minutes to cook and if you time the pasta cooking right, your pasta will be ready … [Read more...]
