Jalapeno Popper Sandwich
We do a lot of sandwich experimentation around here at lunch time. This sandwich is one such experiment. I saw the concept of this sandwich somewhere before and because I had both cream cheese and jalapenos in my fridge (and neither of them was getting any younger) I decided to make these.

Tacos Pollo Asado
This stuff is DELICIOUS! The marinade is so much fun to make. This is the house favorite around here for southwestern style chicken. Tip or warning: Don’t try cooking this inside… it MUST be grilled. One time I thought I would just cook it up in a grill pan and man oh man… TEAR GAS! …

When Mike and I were newly weds and I told him that I was making Salisbury Steak for dinner, it usually involved a trip to the freezer to retrieve the box. Hahaha… I shudder to think about the amount of TV dinners that I fed to that poor man during those early years. I thought …

New Mexico Style Green Chile Stew
I’m from New Mexico… The Land of Enchantment. It really is an enchanting place. It’s both a desert and a mountain state. Driving across it is mesmerizing as miles and miles of wild desert stretch from the road to the horizon. It’s surrounded by mountains so the view in any direction is a regal one. …
