Simple Strawberry Ice Cream

To me, nothing heralds summer like really good strawberry ice cream.  Ice cream is obviously the best summer food there is. (Not open for discussion or dissent, ok? It just is.)  And strawberry is the flavor that seems to whisper, excitedly, “Summer is here!”

Fruit and Nut Granola Bars

Over two years ago, soon after I had my first little peanut, I wrote a post for chicken lettuce wraps that were quick and easy and could basically be eaten with one hand.  That’s what was necessary in my house at the time.  Now I 

Hibiscus Tea Punch (or… Natural Cool-Aid!)

Yep, I’m still in baby-land over here.  (And toddler-land.  And laundry-pile-growing land.)  But I’m just dropping in real quick to share this yummy little tidbit with you.  It seems summer is sneakily creeping in, and this is an awesome new discovery that I’d thought everyone 

Southfork Chili

It may seem strange to you that I’m making chili at the beginning of May.  Chili is one of those quintessential fall and winter type things that seem to go perfectly with football, beer, and cold toes.  But I just really like chili.  Especially this 

Turkey and Zucchini Burgers with Green Onion and Cumin

I’ve been holding out on you.  I’m sorry.  These burgers are one of the best things we’ve been eating over the past several months, and I’ve made them many times.  They’re one of the things we like so much that I made multiple batches and 

Roasted Green Beans with Garlic Aioli

If you don’t mind, I’m not going to spend a ton of time telling you about these fantastic green beans.  There really isn’t much to the recipe, so it seems silly to go on and on.  They’re genius in their simplicity, and surprising in just 

Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus with Orange-Mint Dipping Sauce

Part of me regrets adding to the cacophony of asparagus-centric recipes on the internet right now.  But it’s a very, very small part of me.  Like a toenail’s worth.  And I don’t pay much attention to toenails these days, (Pedicure? What’s a pedicure?) so who 

Chiles Rellenos Casserole

Sometimes it’s ok to be lazy.  Sometimes being lazy winds up being a huge mark in the “win” column.  Because sometimes it means getting chiles rellenos where there otherwise would have been no chile rellenos. Anyway.  Chiles rellenos are one of my all time favorite 

German Frikadellen

This recipe falls under the category of “things that wouldn’t really occur to me to post on the blog”. It’s definitely not fancy, or from the New York Times, or one of those artichoke-bacon-spinach combos that people are always going crazy for.  It’s pretty basic, 

Creamy Refried Beans (in the Crockpot)

Creamy Refried Beans (in the Crockpot)

Hi.  My name is Christina, and I’m a Mexican food addict.  But it’s ok, because I’ve created my own little family of fellow Mexican food addicts.  I’ve been known to put Chihuahua cheese on pretty much anything and there is always Mexican chorizo in my
