this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. The lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

Right Back, Right Back in Love Again
You know I love tostadas. No question. Lately I eat them alone. No need for companions. But I found myself wanting the beans and rice back on the plate for the full combination experience.
How to keep it light? I made my canned pinto beans just smashed up with a couple of strips of turkey bacon and onion cooked in the pan before the mashing took place, a little salsa just to thin them out a bit.
For the rice I cooked plain Jasmine rice and added a little fresh cilantro afterwards.
Definitely different than the rich flavorful Mexican rice but with the tostada having so much fresh twang and the creamy beans needing a friend that wasn't going to outshine them, it was a new combination that I actually loved and will try again. It was good to have the two back on platter.
