This authentic Mexican dish is simply amazing. Some cultures consider the tongue a delicacy. One bite into the tasty meat and you’ll know why. The meat is fatty and fine textured like pot roast and you can get them at many markets nowadays. Obviously we would prefer...

Green eggs and turkey
We absolutely love frittatas. This is one of our go-to recipes and is great for when a crowd is coming over. Feel free to mix up ingredients if this one starts to bore you. One thing we always do is make a few different sauces to pour over them. Look no further than...
Carrot timbales
Bugs Bunny would love this recipe. Carrots pack the highest punch when it comes to pro-vitamin A carotenes. They help fight cardiovascular disease and cancer. Who doesn’t love the portability of this vegetable? That said, carrots deserve to be cooked from time to time...

Fried okra
Late summer at the Mayfield house would almost guarantee fried okra was on the table. Okra is as commonplace in the South as grits. You don’t have to give up any flavor or texture to enjoy this classic adapted in this manner. If you’re going to go to the trouble,...
Grilled veggies
These go well with just about anything, and are a great way to use all the fresh vegetables from our garden in the summertime. If you have a large crowd coming over, double or triple your recipe and consider serving the veggies whole. These keep extremely well in the...
Coconut flour tortillas
These tortillas opened a whole new door of possibilities for us. Given that they are a little bit labor intensive, they aren’t something I suggest every day, but once in a while it’s nice to have that tortilla to wrap some meaty goodness into. I’m amazed at how well...
