Grilled Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
Tacos are our go to when we don’t know what else to make. Frankly, I think tacos are one of the most amazing inventions on the planet. You really could put just about anything into them, and they are delicious. Last night would be no different. So why did we take the easy way […]
Green Bean and Avocado Summer Salads
Pasta and greens have to be one of my favorite combinations in the world. Toss them with avocado, green beans and some dried fruit, and you have yourself a real winner. I was certainly in need of a big salad this week after all of that pulled pork (which by the way, there is […]
Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese
So it begins. I may have mentioned yesterday that I slow-cooked a pork shoulder roast on Sunday, so we will officially be eating pork for the next week. I mean there’s only two of us and this roast was over 7 pounds! It’s really horrible of me to complain though. The pork came out […]
“Herbaceous” Chicken Salad Sandwiches
I’m on quite the “picnic” theme here lately. Not that I’m complaining. I love picnic food, and the fact that the weather has been so superbly beautiful, it has me wanting to make more and more BBQ-style food. I’m sure I will get sick of it sooner or later; and once September rolls around, […]
Chicken Dogs with Watermelon Salsa
Yes, I made it back safe and sound from the East coast. Thank you so much for asking! It was such a great visit, but I’m also happy to be getting back into the groove of things! Also, I missed you all like crazy! … and Cilantro. I really, really missed Cilantro (and Zach […]
The Zach and Cilantro Saga – Part III: Campanelle all’Arrabbiata Rustica con Pollo all’Aglio
Do not be afraid of this dish. I went with an Italian title because it just seemed fitting (and it is not too long ago that I could actually converse in Italian). The name just flows and sounds very elegant but in fact the dish is designed to be somewhat rustic and untraditional. The […]
Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Mango Salsa
Hi everyone! It’s been so long! Really, it has been way too long. I’m so sorry for my absence these past two weeks. Everything has been out of control crazy. I am currently visiting family in NJ, but I haven’t forgotten about all of you. As you may have noticed, I delegated some tasks […]
The Zach and Cilantro Saga – Day 2: Pork Tacos with a Chipotle Aioli, Salsa Verde, and Orange-Habanero Sauce
When I think of tacos, I think of something that just melts in your mouth and makes a huge mess. My Dad used to always say, “The messier the better”. This statement seems to hold for tacos all the time. Hence, I bring to you the ultimate pork taco packed with three different sauces just […]
Steak Tacos with Avocado & Cucumber Salsa
We love steak and we don’t eat it very often. Sad, right? I think it’s sad at least. I originally wanted to make duck tacos for this recipe because duck is absolutely awesome, but I could not pass up the rib-eyes I saw staring me in the face the other day (a lot of foods […]
