Cooking Basics: Flautas

 
While many of you may not think of cheese flautas as being basic they are a fantastic easier-than-you-think addition to your cooking repertoire.
They go together in minutes, nearly everyone loves them, and the filling variations are endless; cheese, cheese and chile, cheese and chicken, chicken and chile, left over beef, taco..the list is endless and […]

On the Border in De Soto, Texas….

 
On the Border restaurant in De Soto seems to finally have gotten it together.
I have been in there four or five times in the past couple of years…usually driven by a strong craving for Tex-mex food. Generally, I have been disappointed. Wait…generally I have been disappointed; often I have been really irritated and swore never […]

Better Than Chi Chi’s Chicken Chimichangas

There used to be a restaurant  called Chi Chi’s that had some awesome Mexican food.  One of the things I liked was the chimichangas…Especially the chicken ones.  Chimichangas are like burritos except they are fried so that the outside is crisp. There is just something about them that is addictive.

Authentic Sopapillas for Your Sugar Fix

 
Sopapillas are wonderful, there is just no other way to say it…Hollow squares of fried dough, dusted with sugar, and served with honey to pour in the hollow middle part.  Every bite is sweet, and sticky, messy and incredible.

I am getting this in under the wire.  In fact, I am counting on the fact that Cathy is on Pacific time and I am on Central.
It isn’t that I forgot. It really isn’t.  It is just that I sometimes put things off until the very last minute. Like this.

There has been alot of talk going on lately about eating food that is grown close to home or at home in your own garden. This is good for the environment in so many ways…less packaging, less transport…supporting local […]

Green Chili Enchiladas

So before I hand over this incredible recipe, tell me, if you were replacing your computer would you go with a laptop or a full size and why?
  I am telling you, blogging at the library is getting old and I dislike not being able to post pictures  because I like to look at pictures […]
