This is a chili that you'll find in the Mountain West--either Colorado or New Mexico. It has a medium heat and complex taste, thanks to green chiles from Hatch, New Mexico. The dish is a simple stew with a cohesive taste across different textures and flavors, that can be thickened as you like it. Serve with bread, tortillas, rice, or even over a breakfast burrito!

Rosemary-Infused Watermelon Lemonade
This rosemary-infused watermelon lemonade recipe duplicates my favorite lemonade from a Los Angeles cafe called "Lemonade." I don't like it too sweet, so if you want to add more sugar, cool. It also makes a great martini served in a sugar-rimmed glass with a watermelon wedge and a twist of lemon garnish. Simply fabulous!
Tomato and Garlic Pasta
For this simple garlic and tomato pasta recipe, there is nothing nicer than the flavor of fresh tomatoes. You can use canned, but the trouble you take to prepare this dish is worth it. You prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking, no long hours of waiting. Great if you want meatless pasta.
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Carbonara is made with guanciale (cured pork), eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, spaghetti pasta, and lots of black pepper. Italians don't add extra ingredients like cream, milk, garlic, or onions. Try this recipe if you want to make an authentic, creamy carbonara that comes straight from Italy, where I live. Buon appetito!
