What’s stashed in your freezer? Do you have bags of spinach, corn, or other goodies hiding in the back? Time to pull them out and put them to work. We’re talking about ways to shop your freezer and make good meals out of frozen foods, and this week I want to talk about potatoes — one of my all-time favorite freezer staples.
Here’s a classic one-dish Mexican breakfast originally conceived as a way to use up leftover tortillas. It doesn’t usually include beans, but this version was invented one hungry morning when a perusal of the refrigerator turned up some leftover cooked beans, a half-jar of salsa and a few other odds and ends.
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the ingredients. As long as you have the beans, salsa, tortillas and eggs, the dish will satisfy. You’ll have breakfast on the table in the time it takes to brew the coffee.

“Fresh blackberries and red wine combine for a refreshing sorbet in this recipe.”
Welcome to March! Every March we do a month that we call 3 Square Meals, devoting a week each to breakfast, lunch, and dinner (plus snacks). This lines up with our Cooking Cure which kicked off today with your first assignment. This whole week will be about the what, how, and why of breakfast. What do you want to talk about? Tell us!
A couple months ago, in the depths of holiday baking season, my friend Wendy sent me a message. “Faith,” she said. “I have a question about butter. Why do some recipes call for unsalted butter? I don’t always have unsalted butter on hand — is it a big deal or not?”
Can you relate? Maybe you’ve wondered this too: why do baking recipes usually call for unsalted butter?
Bacon. In the microwave. It seems so wrong, and yet…and yet…also a little bit right. You guys, this really works, and it’s perfect for when you just want a few quick slices of bacon without the fuss of pulling out a pan.

“Corn kernels pan-fried with fajita seasoning are tossed with black beans, jalapeno, and lime and orange juice for a tangy and spicy salad.”
