• 🌶  Mapo Ragù

  This is adaptation of a NY Times recipe from Sam Sifton which is in turn an adaptation of a recipe by Tien Ho and David Chang from their restaurant Momofuku Ssam Bar

• 🐄  Barbacoa

  Tender slow-cooked beef with lots of spices—great for tacos, tortas, or burritos.

• 🧅  Pickled Red Onions

  These easy pickled onions make a great condiment for tacos and sandwiches.

• 🥑  Guacamole

  Super simple guacamole with lots of garlic and lime juice. Make sure to use a mortar and pestle on this. It makes a huge difference.

• Italian Beef

  This is a classic slow cooker dish that is cheap, easy to make, and delicious.

• Pasta & Bean Soup

  This is just a mid-west version of pasta e fagioli (think Olive Garden). It's really fast to make and is hearty enough to be a meal on it's own.

• Red Lentil Soup

  Red lentils and lots of spices make this a great soup for early fall. Also, it doesn't hurt that it's so dang simple to make.

• Marinated Olives

  Whole Kalamata olives marinated simply in lemon juice and fresh chilies.
