First Summer Farmers Market!

Dips, Dressings, and Spreads, Farmer's Market Finds, Indian Inspiration, Mexican, vegan, Vegetarian

So the farmer’s market near me has been open for a few weeks. Today is the first day I went… it was glorious! I went a little vegetarian crazy and got veggie samosas, mushroom matar curry sauce, paneer butter masala, veggie tamales and green medium sauce and a couple of veggie pies. I also got a few beautiful foraged mushrooms that I might add to my paneer masala.

Chicken, Beans, and Rice Bowl

Mexican, Pantry Raid, Thrifty Meals
Easy to throw together! Lettuce, rice, beans (black and kidney), grilled chicken, and lots of cheese!

Not really photogenic after it is mixed up, but very tasty! I topped it with black olives and chips! I might use my leftovers to make a quesadilla or burrito tomorrow for lunch 🙂

Green Chili Pork Soup

Mexican, Soups

School started back, so I’m jumping in to fall early by making my favorite fall soup. in the crockpot, so super easy!

1 boneless pork butt, 2 7oz cans of green chilies, 1 large can puréed tomato, 1 container of beef broth. A little salt. A little pepper. Low for 8-10 hours in the crock pot. Perfection when you get home. Top with cheese, sour cheese, tortilla chips, avocado, etc. the sky is the limit! Leftovers are HEAVENLY!!!

Taco Salad Accidentally on Purpose

Mexican

You know those corn tortilla shells? The ones in the box. The ones that break unless you take extra careful care of them and even then it is a mystery. Well, I love them, heat them up, and break them up on purpose now and make a huge taco salad. I add all the fixings. Meat/Tofu, beans, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and maybe some corn and hot sauce. YUM!
