Cinco de Mayo Taco Tuesday

Would I have made anything other than tacos yesterday? No. No I would not have. This is a repeat I've posted before but it was way back when this all started, so recirculating to the top of your Covid recipes...


Cook up Spanish rice and black beans (separately)

Brown 1 lb of ground sirloin, then add a little less than a cup of water and simmer with a packet of "Original Taco" spice (I think it's McCormick brand, it's at the Jewel)

Slice 1-1/2 bell peppers and 1/2 an onion, sautee in evoo and cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder & chili powder (to taste, sorry, I don't measure a lot)

Serve! Everyone can take what they want, and I just skip the meat and have rice/beans/veggies. Make this gluten-free by using corn tortillas instead of flour

Rose's Roasted Red Potatoes

We had a pork chop repeat last night as the main course, but this is quite possibly my favorite side dish: About 3 lbs red potatoes, wash and dice into bite-size pieces. Do not peel the skins. Heat your oven to 400 Put the diced potatoes in a large baking dish (13x9), and add about 1/4 cup of EVOO (enough to cover all of them but not soaking) Season with oregano (lots, like 2-3 tbsp), garlic powder, black pepper, and a little kosher salt. Stir that all around so they're evenly seasoned. Bake for about an hour and stir them a couple times during that hour. When the potatoes are soft and you can cut right through them, they're ready. Simple but delicious and works with nearly any chicken/steak/pork dish!

We ordered Jimmy Johns and you can blame Fox New

So late yesterday afternoon Fox 32 here in Chicago requested to interview Justin from (name redacted) again, since Pritzker discussed the decontamination unit in his briefing. All well and good, except we spent the early evening pulling together a briefer, updated messaging, waiting with baited breath for the Zoom link to come through, etc. (Side note: shout-out to (name redacted) for being an absolute machine with briefers I'm requesting at literally a moment's notice all week!). We thought the interview would run at 5:45 so I watched the whole damn newscast, only to learn they recorded it and used it at 9pm! By the time I was finished I hadn't gotten to the store, we had no food, and ended up ordering delivery. So boooo Fox News!

Antipasti ed Insalata

After a calorie-soaked Saturday that included leftover pizza, enchiladas and beer, we decided to go light for Sunday dinner.  This is basically salad and appetizers, Italian style:  Slice up meats and cheeses; I went with ham, pepperoni and provolone.  For a salad, use red or green leaf lettuce as your base (iceberg is fine for sandwiches but for an actual salad, you can do better). I also use cucumbers, carrots and croutons.  Heat a couple loaves of bread in the oven and serve with 1/4 EVOO + 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar + crushed red pepper flakes as a dip. Salute!
