Baked Fish Tacos with Chipotle Dressing
I love warm weather food! There is nothing like it, and when the temperature breaks the 95F mark I pull out my favorite Summer recipes. One such recipe is fish tacos. Cool and crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, and crunchy fish wrapped in a corn tortilla is perfect for a light afternoon lunch, or a dinner on the patio with a cold beer. There is just one problem with this dish, and that is deep frying the fish. Of course, you know I...
Soft Taco Stack
I’ll admit it. I do not use my new slow-cooker enough. I really don’t. That is why I am going to try and make a habit of participating in Thoughtless Thursdays over at Pots and Plots. For this edition of Thoughtless Thursday I made a Soft Taco Stack. It is all the components of tacos, just arranged differently and cooked more slowly. What you end up with is something like a Tex-Mex lasagna. It’s spicy,...
FoodBuzz: 24, 24, 24 – Eating Local – Dallas, Texas
Howdy y’all! Welcome to Texas! One evening, while feeling particularly full of myself, I submitted a proposal for Foodbuzz’s montlhy 24, 24, 24 event. For those of you reading who do not know what 24, 24, 24 is I’ll give you the short version. 24 bloggers have 24 food events over 24 hours. Fun, right? I decided on the following menu: Fried Gulf Coast Shrimp Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos Smoked Beef Brisket...
Chipotle Gouda Cornbread
Do you impulse buy? I do. My impulse buys are most often food related. Last week I discovered a really great local cheese shop, Scardello Artisan Cheese, in Dallas and I could not help but go in and shop. I got some terribly expensive, and very tasty, sea salt caramels, some disappointing dark chocolate, and two superb cheeses. One was a sharp cheddar made in Texas, and the other was a raw milk Gouda, also made in Texas. The...
Beef Enchiladas
My husband, despite coming from Chicago originally, likes Tex-Mex food a lot. He does not, however, like cheese and onion enchiladas. It is the cheese that he objects to, not the enchiladas themselves, so because I love him I make him beef enchiladas when I make cheese and onion for myself. Beef enchiladas are simple, but I wondered what the internet would have to say about it. When I did some research I was shocked at how...
Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
If you follow me on Twitter (twitter.com/bakingblog) then you know that I have been under the weather lately. When I am sick I turn to soup for comfort. There is nothing like a bowl of hot soup to put the roses back in your cheeks. Of course, when you are sick you do not really feel like spending time stirring, mixing, or watching a pot of veggies get soft. Enter my slow cooker. It was a gift at Christmas, to replace my old one...
