Admit it, that skillet breakfast looks like a Psychedelic Sunrise, don’t you think? And that’s just perfect since today is Earth Day! Earth Day isn’t just a National Day here, it’s known worldwide.

Papas con Chorizo
Ice Cream for breakfast? Yeah – maybe great if you are a child, but most adults need a bit more than Ice Cream for breakfast, even if it is a National Day.

Once again, depending upon which National Calendar you wish to follow, today might just be National Comfort Food Day. On the Foodie scene, it’s also Sacher Torte Day and Rhubarb Vodka Day. The vodka makes sense since on December 5, 1933 Prohibition was repealed. That alone is reason to celebrate.
Continue reading “What Comforts You?”Mexican Brunch on a Plate
Have I mentioned that my absolute favorite meal of the day is breakfast-brunch? Pastries and pancakes and all sorts of wonderful things. If I could eat only once, it would be the morning meal. And if I had it my way, that meal would last all day.
Continue reading “Mexican Brunch on a Plate”Honoring the Buffalo Soldier
Today is National Buffalo Soldier Day. In 1992 Congress set this day aside to commemorate the formation of the first regular Army regiments of African American soldiers in 1866. Following the Civil War, Congress passed the Army Organization Act, creating six all-black cavalry and infantry regiments. It was the first such creation during peacetime.

Reality check – these are suppose to be appetizers. However; with all these days running together as they are; today is Tequila Tuesday. As long as we’re having cocktails; why not finger food for supper? I’m thinking serve with Beefy Taquitos and maybe a few Bean Dip Cups.
Make it a Grande Burrito Day!
Did you know that the first Thursday in April is National Burrito Day? Wow – it’s April – finally!! Anyway, according to the National Day Calendar, the best way to observe Burrito Day is to call all your friends and go out for burritos or serve them up at home. The at-home we can handle. Maybe next year, we’ll include friends.
Nacho Cheese Grilled Chorizo Burritos
A few days after we had enjoyed our very messy Quesadilla Burgers, I stood in the kitchen and wondered what to make for lunch. There are a few stables in our house that are always on hand. Flour Tortillas in a variety of sizes, Nacho Cheese Dip and good Mexican Chorizo.
Spicy Two Meat-Bean Tostadas
What is a tostada but Nachos on a giant tortilla chip? In our house, Nachos are awesome. We have nachos for game night, or just because we like eating with our fingers. So giant nachos with a pitcher of Margarita were perfect for a Tijuana Tuesday.
Beefy Cast Iron Skillet Nachos
This is a cast iron dish that is still a work in progress. I wasn’t even going to share it just yet, especially since I just gave you a No-Bean Nacho recipe last week. After much consideration and debate, I decided to go ahead and share. Maybe you have some ideas that would help this casual skillet supper hit its mark.
Jug Bands and Chorizo Burgers
The first time that I came across the idea of a Chorizo Burger Topped with Shrimp was about a year ago. My guys wanted a weekly burger night, and I wanted to inject a little variety. The weekly burger night idea didn’t last long. It’s not the healthiest of meals and even the best burgers become mundane after a while. So this recipe was tucked away for another day.
Sizzling Hot Chorizo Quesadillas
Some like it hot. If you are among the “bring on the heat” crowd, these quesadillas should do the trick. First, you’ve got good chorizo at the heart of the filling. Then you’ve got a spicy sauce that packs a mean Jalapeno punch. I mean – wow!
Bean and Chorizo Taquitos
There are dishes that come out of my kitchen that my guys let me know that I have managed to serve up what they consider to be a good meal. Then there are foods that come out of my kitchen and my guys let me know they really, truly enjoyed what they ate. Generally, when this happens I hear “you can make this again.” It is their way of letting me know having the same food twice is just fine by them. I strive to create a different meal every night. While some things are repeated such as mashed potatoes or a salad, the evening’s entrée changes nightly. (By entrée, I am referring to the main dish). My guys were in luck. The Taquitos I served up for Taco Mixer Tuesday were a dress rehearsal for Cinco de Mayo appetizer. So yeah, I’ll serve them up again tomorrow.
Chorizo Chili Frito Pie
We’ve all heard of Taco Tuesday, right? In our house, we’ve expanded the whole Taco Tuesday thing to incorporate anything with a Mexican flavor. Tacos, burritos, chilies, seafoods, pork dishes, beef dishes – it’s a free for all of Mexican Favorites. I know, Frito Pie isn’t exactly authentic Mexican, it’s more Mexican-American. Still, it’s quick, easy and oh so delicious. Served with slices of avocado and a few pitches of Margarita and you’ve got all the makings for a great night!
It’s National Tater Day – Can you Dig It?
As many of you know, I write a lot of my posts weeks or even months in advance of actually posting. That means when I say “last night” while it may been last night as far as writing is concerned, the reality could be weeks ago as far as posting is concerned. Take today’s post for example. It’s mid February as far as real time is concerned, but it will be the end of March before posting. Why? In the case of this recipe, the last day of March is National Tater Day. I spend the better part of any afternoon reading recipes for Taters. Could be mashed, or baked or fried. What I was craving were cheesy, spicy taters. Hubby is a big fan of Tater-Tots. It’s only in the last year that I have come to embrace the Tater-Tot in the same way he does.
