Salpicon for a Crowd (Mexican cold brisket)

Salpicon

Have you ever heard of ‘salpicon’? It is basically an amazing marinated cold brisket recipe with onions, tomatoes, chipotle peppers, cheese and cilantro. Amazing and totally reminds my of my hometown. This recipe came from my mother who contributed it to an old Junior League cookbook from El Paso, Texas, where I grew up. I still have this cookbook and decided a holiday open house would be the best time… more

Coconut Milk Braised Beef and Collard Greens

Coconut Milk Braised Beef & Collard Greens

This is a favorite winter recipe in our house. You might think a child would balk at the vegetable heavy ingredient list – and believe me, at first my child did. But after she tasted the delicious sauce she couldn’t resist and has always ended up eating a heaping serving. You can make this with just the vegetables by omitting the meat. As an alternative to red meat, I have… more

I had already planned to make this last night so when I woke up sick this morning I thought that it would be a great thing to eat tonight to help make me feel better.  This is a mix between two recipes – one I found in the Edible Austin magazine and one from a cookbook called ‘The Homesick Texan’.  This is a great way to use spices from your… more

Beef Bone Broth

I have been making chicken stock for a few months now from scratch and it is so easy and so fulfilling.  Recently I was told I needed more iron to help curb being so tired and guess where you can get a lot of it?  Animal bones.  So how do we get the good stuff out of those bones?  Why stock of course!  While I have enjoyed having a mug… more
