Conversation at dinner tonight: Charlotte: Why can’t I just eat a tortilla instead of a taco? Eric: Because veggies and meat are the healthiest part of the meal, and you are what you eat. Charlotte: You are what you eat?? Eric: Yeah that’s why we have to eat the things that are best for us. Like veggies. Charlotte: And that’s why the baby has breastmilk? Eric: Yeah. Which is exactly why your mom only eats pure, unprocessed, homemade food and LOTS of fruits and veggies and hardly any sugar ever. And that’s when Eric and I both started laughing hysterically. My cheesy-carb game is strong recently. Who’s Super Bowling it up this weekend? I will be eating some of these amazing appetizers for sure even if I’m not exactly sure which teams are playing this year. Don’t hate. I thought I’d round up a few of my favorite dishes to bring to football parties. Because you are what you eat, and I want to be cheesy. Here we go! (Click on the picture or the title to get to the recipe.)
Set It and Forget It (Slow Cooker):
Traditional Tejano Pinto Beans (Slow Cooker):
These beans go great with this Tejano Beef: Traditional Tejano Carne Guisada Slow Cooker Braised Beef for Tacos): This would be a good main dish if you are serving a meal. Amazing tacos. Raspberry Balsamic Meatballs:
These would be perfect to start in the morning and have ready when the game starts. They are so good! French Dip Sandwiches (Slow Cooker):
