I recently found this recipe for a cheesesteak style meal, all made in a cast iron skillet. I was intrigued by the one-pan method and the use of lean ground beef instead of thinly sliced sirloin. Sure, that makes it healthy(er), but it also makes it way easier because you don’t have to try and get the…

It’s pizza, as a burrito. Nothing bad about that. This dish of my own design sounds strange – so much so that Albert wasn’t sold on it and chose to eat the previous night’s leftovers instead – but it tastes so good. Once Albert smelled it and saw me eating it, he regretted his decision…

We are all very used to seeing steak tacos served with sauteed peppers and onions. It’s a good combo, one I can’t fault, but I’m going to suggest a small change. How about swapping the bell peppers and white/yellow onion for squash and red onion? You still get the same texture, but with a different flavor.…

The last thing I think of when I imagine Upper West restaurants is a chill California vibe, but there goes Playa Betty’s, dropping a beachy restaurant on 75th and Amsterdam. It’s all tacos and margs here, with wood paneling and cafe lights so you feel like you could just step inside and prop your imaginary…

Taco Tuesday doesn’t have to mean actual tacos, just an approximation of sorts. Recently, we ditched the tortillas and made quinoa taco bowls. All the ingredients of a taco, just a little less messy and healthier (thanks the the rice/quinoa swap). While the quinoa cooks, start browning ground turkey with taco seasoning (chili powder, garlic powder,…

I continue to get creative with Taco Tuesday. [Currently patting myself on the back.] My last invention blended Mexican tacos with my Southern heritage. I slathered chicken tenders with bar-b-cue sauce and baked them for about 20 minutes at 425. (Those little strips cook up fast!) When they were done, I chopped the chicken til…
