Easy Breakfast Tacos

May 2, 2019 by pamflo

This dish is a great choice for a quick, casual breakfast. Don’t underestimate the wakeup call that hot sauce can provide in the morning. Honestly, I never considered hot sauce for breakfast, but it turns out that the tangy sauce pairs perfectly with eggs. I’m often asked if I have any go-to ingredients in my pantry. Indeed I do, and Sriracha is one of them. The combination of the blistered tortilla, runny eggs and creamy avocado really hits the spot. I […]

Homemade Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips

April 18, 2019 by pamflo

My family loves salt and vinegar potato chips! I happened to read the label on a package of chips and realized that they’re seasoned with a vinegar powder, not something I had heard of before. I ordered the powdered vinegar on-line with the idea of making my own salt and vinegar chips. I experimented with sprinkling the vinegar powder over the warm chips and soaking the raw potato slices in apple cider vinegar, to see if there was a difference […]

Huevos Rancheros

June 8, 2017 by pamflo

Huevos Rancheros is a fiery and flavorful Mexican breakfast dish often made with fried eggs, a spicy chili salsa and served over corn tortillas. The tomato based salsa can be as mild or spicy as you can tolerate. For the peppery kick, I used canned chipotle chilies and pureed the sauce for a smooth salsa, but keeping the sauce chunky is an option as well. This dish is a great choice for a quick, casual breakfast. You can also consider […]

Potato Latkes with Smoked Salmon

December 4, 2014 by pamflo

Crispy and lip-smacking good! There are many ways to make potato latkes (or potato pancakes). This is a perfect dish as a passed hors d’oeuvre, appetizer course or side dish to a main course. These pancakes can be made earlier in the day and re-heated on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven. I topped mine with slices of smoked salmon, sour cream and chopped chives. Create a decadent dish by adding caviar or salmon roe. 2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled […]
