The Cat’s Away
A week's worth of dinners cooked in my mom's absence, mostly with a Mexican influence; and a recipe for watermelon salsa.
Temperamental
The first few days after our move to Colorado, complete with both summer weather and snow; and a chipotle-roasted chicken for all weather.
Flor de Calabaza
Mexican roasted chicken is a foil for some sides that use up end-of-season vegetables: green tomato rice and quesadillas full of squash blossoms, made using homemade corn tortillas.
Cooking a Craving
Baja-style fish tacos with crispy rockfish and a side of fragrant black beans laced with onion, peppers, and blackberry compote (of all things!).
In the Words of Murray…
"There's cheese inside... don't tell anybody!" Stuffed corn tortillas called pupusas, a sort of built-in quesadilla, accompany a butterflied chicken roasted with an infusion of Mexican flavors.
Chile Colorado
Chile colorado stuffed in homemade flour tortillas is a perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. This beef is meltingly tender and richly flavored, but not spicy.
Pork Carnitas
An incredibly simple recipe for braised pork carnitas that delivers a huge punch of flavor.

Arroz con Pollo and Friends
This easy boneless version of arroz con pollo shows its versatility with an array of leftovers, including breakfast burritos and tortilla soup. Also included is my go-to recipe for fresh flour tortillas.
