It was late in the day and I had just left the dentist, after receiving the wonderful news that I needed a filling repaired and a wisdom tooth extracted. YEAH! I zoomed across town and made my way to the grocery store to grab something to make for dinner. As to what I was making, I had not clue.

It’s no secret that I love Mexican food. I don’t mean enchiladas made with condensed soup or tacos made with powdered taco seasoning packets. I love authentic Mexican flavors; fresh cilantro, roasted chile peppers, and plenty of fresh grated cheese. Earlier this year I found one of those BHG special interest publications called Ultimate Mexican. I’ve made several recipes from it. You might remember the sweet conchas (Mexican sweet bread) , or the champurrado (thick Mexican hot chocolate) , or the delicious spicy grilled chicken with baja black beans and rice . http://amandascookin.com/2010/08/shredded-beef-and-chile-enchiladas.html

Steak au Poivre is one of those gorgeous meals that fills the house, is showy to make in front of guests and makes you want to curl into the couch after dinner, completely content and satisfied. Tenderloin filets are pan fried and then added to a rich, creamy pepper sauce. Sometimes you need a showstopper. Maybe you are trying to impress a date with your cooking skills, maybe you need to show up some food snobs at your next dinner party, or maybe you’re just having an old friend over. Recently for us, it was the latter.

SLIDESHOW: Ramen Hacks: 30+ Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Instant Noodles [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] Ramen in the U.S. has come a long way. Once known only in its 10-for-a-dollar instant-lunch form—a staple of offices and dorm rooms all around the '80s and '90s—high-end real ramen shops are springing up left and right on both coasts and everywhere in between. As a half-Japanese kid in the '80s, I grew up eating instant ramen at least once a week, and it still holds a special place in my gut. http://www.seriouseats.com/2011/03/ramen-hacks-30-easy-ways-to-upgrade-your-instant-noodles-japanese-what-to-do-with-ramen.html

Up until this past weekend, I had never eaten nor even heard of a kolache. When my son and daughter-in-law came from Ohio for Thanksgiving, they stopped in Indianapolis at the Kolache Factory and purchased a dozen different kolaches for us to try on Thanksgiving morning. I fell in love with them immediately and knew that I'd have to try to recreate this delicious little stuffed sandwich in my own kitchen. In every aspect, these homemade kolaches were crafted from leftovers. I used Frieda's dinner roll recipe for my Thanksgiving dinner rolls and had leftover dough balls in the freezer. The roast beef and caramelized onions were from a French dip pizza I served during the game on Saturday, and the stuffing, gravy and turkey were of course leftover from Thanksgiving.

Lime Chicken Tacos Recipe | Free Online Recipes | Free Recipes

There are so many different ways to make tacos but lime chicken tacos are some of the best. These tacos are a delicious and light meal, great for summertime. The flavors of lime and various seasonings blend perfectly with the chicken. You can cook the chicken just in the pan or leave it whole, grill it, slice it and then transfer it into the pan for a few minutes. These delicious tacos will only take about 30 minutes total to prepare. Some of the condiments you could add are lettuce, tomato, salad, sour cream or whatever you like. http://blogchef.net/lime-chicken-tacos-recipe/
http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2011/03/26/black-bean-chicken-taquitos/ I love to make my own taquitos and flautas at home. These are taquitos made with black beans, chicken breast and cheese. I baked them in the oven until crispy. In my kitchen, a taquito is made with a corn tortilla, and a flauta is made with a flour tortilla. Most people refer to them this way, but the terms can be used interchangeably too and sometimes refer to other characteristics that you can read more about here . I will go back and forth making each one.

Stuffed Baguette A hollowed baguette obviously makes a perfect shell for any filling you are in the mood for. And once stuffed and properly chilled, it becomes a neat appetizer. This particular one is filled with all my favorite things: goat cheese/cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, olives, spicy salami, crunchy bell pepper, and fresh herbs. Makes one 12-inch long baguette; about 24 slices Ingredients:
