An obligatory visit to the Taco House in Arnold’s Park, Iowa is a long-standing tradition for those who flock to the “Iowa Great Lakes” during the summer. One local’s review on Yelp said “Crowds, mess, long lines, and sometimes indifferent food served up by surly local teenagers in the middle of Northwest Iowa doesn’t necessarily give one hope of a culinary high adventure!” I hafta add unless you are getting their Pueblan-style shredded Chicken, Tinga de Pollo.
The Beet Goes on Salad
The Beet Goes on Salad is a family favorite, and maybe it will be one of yours now, too! As a matter of fact, most any salad with beets ranks high on my list, and as far as I’m concerned, this is the highest. If you’re here, maybe you’re a beet lover, too. Just know you’ll find several beet salads on my site, as well as other beet-related recipes!

Thai Cashew Chicken
This is one of my fave dishes that leans toward the Asian side, and it’s a play on Thai Cashew Chicken. Actually, until recently, even tho I’ve been making this for decades, I didn’t even realize the distinction between the different types of Cashew Chicken. There are about a dozen made in different countries with different variations! Live and learn, amirite!

Baked Potato Hash Browns
Once upon a time, I worked in a restaurant kitchen for a while when I was just a baby-faced teenager. I was in between jobs, and since I had waitressed before, I thought it would be a quick way to make some money. I was hired. The problem? I wasn’t legal in Colorado yet. They took me in as a combo sous chef/prep cook, and long story short, I picked up a few tricks. One of them was how to make these glorious Baked Potato Hash Browns.
