Crispy Chicken Tacos with Avocado Buttermilk Ranch
I'm not sure of the technical way to measure the greatness of a meal (if such a thing exists), but I want to say that it's probably "how likely would it be that I'd happily-- maybe even eagerly-- eat this on an already painfully full stomach?" Because you know what? I spent this weekend raiding...

Crock Pot Carnitas Tacos with Chipotle Cream
There are few things in the world more glorious than a meal that you prep in the morning, forget about for a few hours while you go to work or run errands or watch 6 back-to-back episodes of Project Runway on OnDemand (I can't be the only marathon-TV-watcher here), and put the final finishing touches...
Blackened Fish Tacos with Avocado-Cilantro Sauce
I come from a family of avid taco lovers. We eat tacos of some sort at least twice a week (in fact, we had tacos last night), and every single week, when I ask my brother what I should make for the blog, he tells me to make tacos. The only thing that rivals my...

Tacos Al Pastor with Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa
Most likely, when we hear the word "taco" in the US, we think of the ground beef stuffed tortillas with a variety of garnishes that you can find everywhere from Taco Bell onward to the sit-down restaurants we frequent when a Mexican food craving grabs hold. However, in Mexico, ground beef tacos really aren't popular at...

Slow Cooker Spicy Shredded Mexican Chicken

Slow Cooker Ancho Coffee Shredded Beef

Mini Party Poblano Quesadillas
The end of April in near, which means three things: It's almost Cinco de Mayo It's time to put *NSYNC on repeat and burst into laughter whenever Justin Timberlake says "It's gonna be me" in that nasally way that makes "me" sound like "May". Oh, you don't do that? Uhh... me neither. It's my birthday All of...
Korean Chicken and Kimchi-Fried Rice Bowls
Can I just say (in-between mouthfuls) that I'm so happy no one can see me right now? You know, as I intermittently shovel forkfuls of leftovers into my face, spill grains all over the keyboard of my laptop, and, since we're being so candid, grunt like a hungry beast? Yes, I know that it's not lady-like. It's certainly...
Nachos Al Pastor
I make no claim to the title of Nacho Elitist; I'll eat 'em even if they're microwaved, smothered in fake cheese, and soggy-bottomed-- they are nachos, after all. But I do have to say that sometimes you have to splurge a little and do nachos the right way, and yes, there is a right way.  The Right Way™...

This Smoky Shrimp Pasta Salad with Chipotle Dressing is about to make a lot of people reaaaal popular this summer.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chickpea Bars
I almost called these "Unbelievable Bars" because I was completely caught off guard when I realized that they were not only edible, but actually freaking delicious. They get this crackly, brownie-like crust on the top and bottom after baking, but stay extremely moist and almost fudgy in the center, sort of like the texture of...

Jalapeño Popper Chorizo Taquitos with Creamy Avocado Sauce

Slow Cooker Korean Sloppy Joes
My obsession with fusion food started when I was still living in New Brunswick, taste-testing my way through the town one drunk-friendly food truck or mini restaurant at a time. Â Out of all of the food NB had to offer, it was a Korean BBQ fusion restaurant that stole my heart and wooed my tastebuds....
Pambazos (Mexican Salsa-Dunked Sandwiches)
I can't help but pronounce "Pambazos" with a very exaggerated, stereotypical Italian-American accent. Pam-BAAAH-zos! Even though I know that Pambazos are not Italian. Even though I know that they're named after "pan basso". Still, it's pam-BAAAH-zos every time. But what is a Pambazo? It's a guajillo salsa-dunked sandwich that's traditionally filled with spicy chorizo and potatoes. In...
Strawberry-Kiwi Frozen Mojitos
When I bought them, I had every intention of using my fresh strawberries and kiwis into a fruity summer salsa. I imagined scooping it on top of crisp tortilla chips or flaky fish tacos, and was enthralled at the idea. But then I thought, What if I added rum to the salsa? That would be delicious. ...
Homemade Flour Tortillas
If there is, in fact, a "wrong way" to live, then I've been doing it wrong for years. Okay, that might be a little excessive, but the fact that I've been using store bought tortillas my whole life just feels so wrong now.  If you've never had homemade flour tortillas, let me tell you, it's amazing...
Bacon Blue Cheese Burger Skins
For 22 years of my life, I avoided blue cheese like the plague. I don't know why I refused to try it. I don't know what made me decide that I'd despise it. All I know is that, for the large majority of my life, I deprived myself of one of the most enjoyable flavors...
Baked Pulled Pork Egg Rolls
Ever since my trip to North Carolina, I can't get two things out of my head: one, I really miss my cousin and wish we lived closer to each other (cue "d'awww"s), and two, I am developing an unhealthy obsession with pulled pork. When I say "unhealthy obsession", I mean that I've been...
