Like most people I occasionally just don’t want to make dinner. It’s tough cooking every night of the week! We really don’t like to eat out very often for a few reasons: it’s expensive, it’s not as healthy, it’s more difficult for my man with his food intolerances, and sometimes it actually takes more effort! That’s when you need an easy recipe…

It creates a steaming effect, and gives you a moist product as a result. By…
Posole is one of those recipes that brings back memories for me. I’m thinking Christmas morning, heading over to celebrate the holiday at my PapaCino’s house. That’s my cute little name for my Grandpa. It meant family, joy, togetherness, and a sense of warmth. Great food, great people, great days. I would also look over rather squeamishly at the menudo…
Ok, so I tried to make this dish have a nice, descriptive name. I really did! Because would you like to know the other names it goes by? They don’t sound quite as appetizing to me, but maybe you’ll recognize one: creamed beef, shit-on-a-shingle (aka SOS beef), or my family’s favorite- “the meal”. We always knew what Dad was making when…
