We have Jimmy Buffett to blame for this post. Like I mentioned when I blogged my Key West trip, I am a proud Parrothead. And it was at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurant in Las Vegas that Jared and I decided nachos were an acceptable dinner. The Margaritaville restaurants have something on their menu called “Volcano [...]

Super Torta II Taco Truck
I have made it a personal goal to try every taco truck in the city. That, along with my sister’s wedding shower, will be my culinary project for the summer. I have no idea if I’ll succeed. But it certainly makes finding cheap, tasty and quick meals a lot more fun. I inadvertently started this [...]
Black Bean & Veggie Burritos
Though my husband and I aren’t vegetarians, we eat meatless meals several times a week. We do this partially for health reasons, partially for cost reasons and partially because vegetables are so darn tasty. I’m also biased in favor of them because I think food should be attractive. Veggies are generally prettier than chicken breasts [...]
La Popular Taco Truck
Some days, good things just randomly happen. Today was one of those days. Since finding out that Columbus is home to several taco trucks, I have been obsessed with finding and eating at them. Last fall, my husband, two friends and I spent an entire afternoon driving around Columbus looking for the things. I had [...]
The Place Down the Block, the One With No Clock
The whole time I was in Key West, I had been craving Mexican food. Who am I kidding? I’m nearly always craving Mexican food. While I knew I wouldn’t find the most authentic fare in that part of Florida, I still wanted to try at least one Mexican place. After watching the sunset, we walked [...]
Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas
I bought the October Food Network Magazine on a whim. I have since purchased the November one and am considering subscribing. I usually dislike cooking magazines. I find many of them pretentious, since they are full of recipes that require exotic ingredients and a whole day to prepare. Others are too focused on getting dinner [...]
Spicy Taco Salad
One of my favorite quick and easy weeknight meals is taco salad. It uses foods that I almost always have on hand and only takes 30 minutes to prepare. Taco salad gets a bad rap since it is, admittedly, not the healthiest of salads. Personally, I believe that all foods should be enjoyed within reason. [...]
Chiles Rellenos
When I was 17, I went to Mexico City with my Spanish class. I loved everything about it – the hotel overlooking the Zócalo, the pyramids, the sense of history, the colors, the energy and the food. While some of my classmates were happy with KFC, my mom I tried all sorts of new things. [...]
