Ina Garten is one of the few people who I think I’d take a shrimp and grits recipe from. She is skilled and when it comes to picking ingredients she second to none. One of the things I really like about the way she cooks is that she wants you to be simple but use …
Flank Steak Tacos made with Mojo de Ajo and Salsa Arriera
Tacos are so versatile and can showcase almost any ingredient you want. For a very long time, I didn’t eat red meat, but when I moved to San Diego I was impressed with the way the Mexican natives can make Beef taste amazing. I love how a simple mixture of spices and oil can make …
