We love spicy Mexican food and with our hectic daily grind we are also always looking for something quick and easy to prepare. With our trusty crock pot, this meal fits both of those requirements.
This is not a traditional slow cooker/ crock pot type of meal, as it took a little bit of prep work [...]

Salsa Verde was by far, Greg’s favorite salsa of the week!  I roasted the tomatillos and peppers on the grill before adding them to the salsa.  This was the one salsa that I put in the food processor to create a puree, instead of a mixture of diced veggies.  Even with taking the time to [...]

Last week Greg asked me to make a salsa every day so we could add the salsa recipes to our SpicesInc website.  No problem.    I love salsa and veggies are so plentiful right now, I was thrilled to load up on so many good, fresh ingredients and have fun creating different salsas.  I [...]

I firmly believe that everything tastes better on the grill.  Can you grill ice cream?  Hmmmm …  will have to check on that.
One of our ‘go to’ dinners is a quick and easy quesadilla.  No specific recipe required – look in the fridge – presto quesadilla!  Tonight we had some grilled chicken, reduced fat mexican [...]

The warmer weather and longer days have been so wonderful.  We have been spending more time outside and working in our massive garden.  Greg has the green thumb, not me – he has created the most beautiful hillside for our house.
Our dinners have been very light, quick and easy.  Anytime we can fire up the [...]

Anytime I can take a favorite dish and modify it to be healthy or at least ‘healthier’ than it’s original – I am on it!  Traditionally, chimichangas are deep fried – so the thought of making the same type of recipe and then baking them in the oven was an appealing alternative for me.
Pretty quick [...]

Lunches can be a challenge for me.  I don’t always take time to plan and prepare that meal.  I do plan dinners, so many times lunches are leftovers from the healthy meal the night before.  I seem to be busy and moving during the day, so quick and easy is key.
Last weekend, I grilled a [...]

This was a quick and easy dish to put together and can be modified to fit just about any meal plan.  I used ground meat, but you could very easily make this a vegetarian dish by added more black beans, (or a mixture or black and kidney beans) and eliminate the ground meat.  Of course [...]
