Crispy Dessert Taco It is summer in Texas and very hot!   Perfect weather for this, prototype, crispy dessert taco with ice cream. Caramel crisp taco shell, vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate syrup and toasted coconut.   Delightfully crisp, cool and refreshing! Next rendition will likely replace the chocolate syrup with “salsa and guacamole” and may include chocolate shavings and toasted coconut.     #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood #Taco #Dessert #YouScreamWeAllScreamForIceCream  As always your questions or comments are welcome. Until next time, Bon Appetit Y'all! Leslie Bartosh

  South Texas comfort or soul food: chicken thigh rancheros with pinto beans and rice. Elemental, comforting and ultra-enjoyable. In a nod to healthier cooking, the chicken thighs were skinned but cooked with the bone in. One of the nice things about this dish is that the leftover sauce goes quite well on cheese enchiladas or on eggs. Very versatile and tasty! #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood #ChickenRancheros #RancheroSauce    As always, your questions or comments are always welcome.
