Every once in a while, I get a serious craving for Mexican or Tex-Mex food.  I spent a long time living in Texas and definitely developed a taste for that general cuisine.  Unfortunately, I have yet to come across a decent Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant in Berkeley Heights or the surrounding areas.  So, sometimes my wife and I head into NYC and go to Toloache, our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area and my craving is curbed.  (Yes, google it and go immediately if you live in the area!)  At other times, I take matters into my own hands and attempt to create something unique and tasty.  This dish turned out very well.  I’m not sure just how unique it is, but it is certainly in the general ballpark of good Mexican and Tex-Mex.  It’s also a very versatile dish.  If you don’t have time to roast a chicken, try grilling a chicken breast.  If you don’t…

I live in Berkeley Heights, NJ and have lived here for about a year with my wife Tara. Prior to that we lived in Hoboken, NJ. I studied cooking professionally at the International Culinary Center in SOHO, focusing on classic French cuisine. Growing up, I've lived all over the country from St. Louis to Topeka, KS to Washington D.C. to Texas (Dallas and Austin). I love music and listen to a wide variety and may even mention it within the blog. I also am a huge sports fan, following The St. Louis Cardinals baseball team as well as Dallas Cowboys football (I don't want to hear about your hatred of the Cowboys...I've heard it all). Hope you enjoy the site!
