It seems that the fall weather has a mind of its own throughout the country. From crisp autumn temperatures in some places, to still boiling summer heat in others, and cold, blowing snow right here in Denver. If you’re like me and are in need of a nice soup to warm your bones, let me remind you of this delicious sopa de tortilla (tortilla soup). I love the velvety tomato base combined with crunchy tortilla strips, one of my favorites ever! Plus, this recipe is kid-friendly!!

I have so many potatoes right now! I’m trying to use them all up and this ground beef stew is a perfect way to do so.
In tonight’s version, I replaced the jalapeño peppers with some roasted Pueblo chiles I had stashed away in the freezer.
I just had two bowls and I’m already imagining how good this will be with eggs in the morning.
.
For my kids, I separated some out before adding any chiles and they loved it!

I did my fair share of coffee drinking this past weekend at the FYI blogging conference. I also got to learn more about locally crafted Boyer’s Coffee and their National Coffee Event that’s happening this Friday and Saturday. If you’ve watched my stories, you know I like to enjoy a cup of deliciously smooth cafecito each morning, so I’m excited about this event. There will be free drip coffee, 25% off on bagged coffee and other great discounts. .
Find out more about National Coffee Day by visiting @boyerscoffee or follow the link in my bio.

🍳NEW BLOG POST🍳
This might just be my favorite breakfast of all time, and it’s so incredibly simple! From a young age, papas con huevo (potato and egg scramble) has been a favorite of mine. We didn’t have it often, but when we did, that made for a good morning.
Now as an adult I make it way too often. I have to talk myself out of making it or else I’d have it every single day, especially topped off with some jalapeño salsa. The added bonuses, it’s #whole30compliant and my kids love it!

Squeals of delight and the pitter patter of little feet led the way. We zigged and zagged throughout the corn-lined paths, stopping for pictures, telling stories, and sharing laughs along the way. A beautiful day at our first corn maze of the year, spent with close friends and creating memories with our children.

If it wasn’t for that experience yesterday and the calendar reading September 23 today, I would hardly believe that fall is upon us.

But I am ready. Ready for orange pumpkins, spicy lattes, warm empanadas, green chile, and cozy sweaters.

How about you, are you ready for fall?

Arroz verde made with chickpea rice! ¡Que rico!
Up until a month ago I had never tasted @eatbanza products but had always wanted to. I’m always on the lookout for healthier versions of old favorites, so when I saw there was a rice made from chickpeas, I was eager to try it. After some testing, I’m excited to share this delicious green rice recipe with you. Made with a roasted poblano sauce, this arroz verde makes such a great and tasty side dish.
.
Here’s how I made it:
-Boil 4 cups of salted water in a small pot.
-Add one cup of @eatbanza rice and boil for 3 minutes.
-Drain and rinse using a colander.
-Add rice back to the pot.

For the Sauce
-Roast 3 poblano peppers.
-Peel the peppers and add to a food processor or blender, along with 1/4 white onion, 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, salt and pepper to taste and 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
-Pour the sauce over the cooked rice and mix together, being careful not to break the rice.
-Heat the pot on medium until it comes to a slight simmer. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the rice is at your desired firmness and the sauce is cooked through.

Have you tried this chickpea rice? What’s your favorite way to prepare it?

Looking through my feed you may notice I cook with ground beef quite a bit. I always keep a couple of pounds in the freezer and it’s my turn-to protein on many occasions. It so versatile, just add a little of this and a little of that (à la my mom) and you get a great, easy dinner.
So if you’re looking for meal inspiration, here’s a quick and easy ground beef skillet, loaded with lots of veggies and perfect for Whole30.
.
Ground Beef and Veggie Skillet
-Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a medium skillet, breaking it up with a large spoon as it cooks.
-When just slightly pink, add 2 diced carrots, 1/2 diced white onion, 2 diced garlic cloves and a pinch of salt and pepper.
-Continue cooking for about 3 more minutes, then stir in 1 cup of frozen green beans.
-Cook for another 3 minutes, add 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms.
-Season with salt, pepper and 1/4 tsp of oregano.
-Allow the mushrooms to heat through, for another minute or two. Check the green beans and carrots with a fork to make sure they are crisp-tender.
-Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
-I serve mine alongside a big green salad and it’s great!

Caldo de albóndigas, or Mexican meatball soup, is one of my absolute favorite soups. Today I had the pleasure of cooking alongside my mom as we made this delicious soup for dinner. I’m always amazed at watching her cook, putting in a little of this and a little of that without any measurements, but the food always comes out phenomenal!
Luckily, this is one of her many recipes that I had her measure out the ingredients for and it’s been on the blog for some time now. Plus, with some minor tweaks it’s a healthy, Whole30 compliant version.
