It is 20% higher in protein and has a lower glycemic index, good news for those with elevated blood sugar. However it can be difficult to find! Arrowhead and Bob's Red Mill make it and some health…

Texas Caviar (Bean & Corn Salsa or Salad) by Salad Foodie

Ninfa's Green Sauce

Easy Chicken Posole

Easy Chicken Posole by Nancy Miyasaki

I can buy canned tomatillos in the Mexican section of my local grocery store...but if you don't see them stop by any Mexican mercado. They taste great in soup and are a…

Leftover Roast Beef Tacos with Homemade Flour Tortillas

Leftover Roast Beef Tacos with Homemade Flour Tortillas by myra byanka

Fairly easy prep recipe utilizing leftover beef. The longer you cook the beef, the tougher it will become, so I used rare roast beef and cooked it quickly over a high heat. Prepare the tortillas and condiments first.

Made with brisket, this chili can be used for tacos, enchiladas, or put in a bowl with some cheese, onions, crackers, or serve it with cornbread. Also, it makes a good chili burger or chili dog.
