Nopales

 https://www.isabeleats.com/how-to-cook-nopales/


 Being in an area where there is a large  Hispanic population makes for some interesting produce selections. The kids picked out a couple cactus paddles. I looked up how to prepare and cook them.

I cooked them in olive oil with garlic and a little oregano and cumin. 

I was surprised by the reception, L and E said they were good! I think they would be really good in a taco or fajitas.

I will make it again!

Greens and bulgar gratin

 I've made this quite a few times before, but I was surprised to find I hadn't documented it before.


This is a great way to use up a bunch of greens. In my case, I had a lot of beet greens, so I made this so they would not go to waste.
