Beef and Bean Enchiladas
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner
I know yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, but I can’t help but share one of my new favorite recipes in the spirit of “better late than never.” I’ve made enchiladas many times before, but I’ve always used corn tortillas – and I confess that I haven’t quite been able to master getting all of the [...]

After being sick for the last couple of weeks, I think I’ve now come down with a case of the January blues. It didn’t help much that just last week, all the snow had melted away, leaving us with a green lawn…so instead of thinking about stocking up on pantry staples and hibernating, my mind was [...]

Chili

There’s nothing better than chili on a crisp, autumn day, especially if it’s been raining. On those days, I love nothing more than to dig into a hot bowl of chili and a plate of warm homemade biscuits. This is my my go-to chili recipe and one of my favorite meals to serve as the [...]

Nacho Soup
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner
I’ve made this chili-soup several times over the past year, but it wasn’t until hubby suggested the addition of tortilla chips that it really became a favorite. The chips perfect it, and it’s also kind of fun to dip them in the soup. While it’s more of a warming and comforting winter meal, I think [...]
