Crispy Veggie Tacos

Well, these were surprisingly delicious! I hardly ever use ground beef anymore, and I am so tired of chicken that I put these on the menu this week. Teenager said “Carrots in tacos are just weird” but ate them with gusto anyway! The black bean, onion, chili pepper mixture was TO DIE FOR yummy. I didn’t have a poblano pepper, but a can of green chilies worked just fine! Enjoy!

Carrot-and-Black Bean Crispy Tacos Recipe

Garden Vegetable Soup

I NEED soup in the winter, and I make a pot at least weekly. So I get tired of my recipes. Here’s a vegetable soup from Alton Brown that’s a little different. Because it has green beans in it, and my daughter claims to not like potatoes in soup, I didn’t think she’d like it, but I was happily wrong. It’s delicious. I used the french haricot vert thin green beans and little golden potatoes cubed small. Definitely a keeper. . .
