Brown Rice, Chicken, and Chorizo Paella

Brown Rice, Chicken, and Chorizo Paella

My husband is from Spain, so I started looking into paella recipes. It took me four times to get this brown rice paella right. Now it's his favorite dish, and he expects me to make it every week. I've tweaked this recipe to our tastes, as we like red peppers, capers, and black olives. The vinegar is a Spanish thing, so I always add it. You can leave a little broth in the paella or cook until the broth is fully absorbed — it's simply a matter of preference.

Skillet Shrimp Fajitas with Cilantro-Lime Cream

Shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and seasonings come together in one skillet for delicious shrimp fajitas, drizzled with cilantro-lime cream, and wrapped in warm tortillas. This cooks quickly, so you'll want to have the shrimp cleaned and vegetables sliced before you begin. Top with avocado, pico de gallo, and cilantro, if you wish.

Bombay Potatoes

A yummy Indian side dish, Bombay potatoes are vegan, super simple to make, and family friendly to boot. I have lived in both India and the UK, where this is a popular dish, and this is the one Indian dish that I make that tastes super authentic.
