I had some leftover corn, homemade black beans and Mexican rice from the other night, so I tossed them all together. š Cooking it all in one skillet means less dishes to clean which is just fine by me. ā¤ļø It would have been better with cream cheese, but all of mine is frozen.

Homemade Black Beans
There is no price comparison when it comes to canned black beans and homemade. They’re so much richer in flavor and they’re not as hard as you think to make. You can also cook these in an InstaPot or slow cooker, but I prefer them on the stovetop. ā¤ļø Cooking them with broth instead ofContinue reading “Homemade Black Beans”
Black Bean & Chicken Enchiladas
Day 37 of my #PantryChallenge I spent an amazing night with my family yesterday and cooked dinner for them.

Crispy Grilled Elk Tacos
These delicious little tacos really hit the spot! I normally double up my tortillas, but they held up brilliantly when frying and didn’t need any extra structural support. š The marinade is key to perfectly tender elk meat, as this was an old bull and his meat was a bit on the tough side. CrispyContinue reading “Crispy Grilled Elk Tacos”
Sweet Heat Cornbread Muffins
I love making this cornbread recipe. The combination of sweet and heat can’t be beat! It’s slightly cake-like on the inside with a wonderfully crunchy crust. If you aren’t a fan of hot foods, substituting the jalapeƱos for bell peppers is a great option. They go great with the honey! I love serving them warmContinue reading “Sweet Heat Cornbread Muffins”
