Tomatillo Chicken Enchiladas with Chickpea Salad

A few things in life have changed my meal planning. One is my sister in law’s amazing garden and her willingness to share her goodies. The other is our CSA box. I’ll be doing a separate post on CSA’s, but for now, just know that we are in LOVE with […]

Arroz con Pollo Y Chorizo – An Easy, Healthier Version!

This dish started with a great deal on Chorizo. I bought two packages and used one on a traditional style breakfast. Awesome, as usual. But…the other package was still sitting in the fridge and begging for something new. Figuring I’d treat it like andouille or spicy Italian sausage, I decided […]
