Wow, Wegmans!

    Earlier this week I made my way over to Northborough to check out Wegmans, a new supermarket that puts a whole new meaning to what a supermarket is and can be.  Wegmans has raised the bar when it comes to better quality products, a crazy abundance of choice, restaurant quality prepared foods, great customer service and beautiful displays.  I must admit, it is a bit overwhelming because of the size and amount of variety..so go in with a list if you want to do your grocery shopping.  Otherwise, I fully encourage all foodies and anyone else that appreciates good food to make the trip, walk around, have some lunch and enjoy what this new market has to offer.  This is more than a supermarket, it's an experience.

Let food be fun!

  On my grocery list for last week were ingredients to make turkey tacos.  After making them I still had a lot of leftovers, so to prevent meal boredom I recreated my turkey tacos into baked tostadas, and they were super yummy!  Here's how I did it.....
   
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Place your tortillas on the baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder.
Bake for approx. 5 mins. or until crisp, and golden brown.
Once cool, spread on guacamole, layer on top the seasoned ground turkey, iceberg lettuce, and garnish with salsa.

 Baked Tostada

Baked and seasoned flour tortilla with guacamole, taco seasoned ground turkey, iceberg lettuce, and homemade tomato-serrano salsa.

Mexican kitchen must have's...

    To always have on hand - Tortillas or tortilla chips, mexican spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, salt), fresh garlic.
     Ingredients to pick up - Meat (mine being ground turkey but can be anything you want), tomatoes, onion, avocado, limes, cilantro, peppers (depending on heat preferences you can choose anything from a bell pepper to a habenero)
