Portobello Mushroom parmesan
This is just a different twist on chicken or veal parm, but real good.
You’ll need some sauce either leftover in the freezer or get some butoni from the store. Some mozzarella cheese, some of those big Portobello mushroom caps (1 per serving) and the rest of the stuff you have on hand by now I’ll bet.
Heat up the sauce a little. Heat up the oven 350 degrees.
Wash of the mushrooms off with cold water. Put them on a paper towel round side up and let them drain a little. Med sized frying pan 3 swirls of olive oil. Med/high heat. Cook the mushrooms about 3-4 min each side. Put them in a casserole dish round side down. Cover with sauce then the mozzarella cheese grated or sliced, oregano, basil and drizzled with olive oil. Topped with a little parmesan cheese. Put in the oven ‘til the cheese gets a little bubbly. We always cook up a little pasta and be sure to have enough sauce for it too. A little salad, crusty bread and some chianti!!!

quick and easy meals for 1 or 2
Aracara
Light up the grill. A frying pan big enough to handle the flank steak(s) will work if you don't have a grill.
1 large onion cut up juliene but kinda wide slices
1 large poblamo pepper cut up to the same size as the onion. They're dark green, longer and skinnier than regular old green bell peppers. Regular old green bell will work if you can't find poblamos.
Some tortillas
Med sized frying pan, med heat, couple of swirls of olive oil. Add the veggies with a little salt and pepper. I like to also put in a little basil and a large garlic clove finely chopped. Toss them often.
Start the meat cooking. Throw away the marinade and the plastic bag.
The meat and the veggies should be done about the same time. turn the heat down real low under the veggies and spread the tortillas out over the veggies to heat up a little. After the meat has set on the cutting board for a few minutes slice it up. Thin slices and across the grain.
SERVE IT UP!! with some salsa. Put a few slices of the meat and a spoon or two of the vegies in a tortilla and chow down. don't forget some corona beer or some tequila!!
