At the taco event, I met up with the folks from Shamrock Farms Milk. Milk at a taco festival? Yes! There’s nothing better than ice-cold milk to help extinguish the heat from spicy salsa. No joke – milk really does do the trick!

I tried all sorts of spicy salsas and sauce at the Holy Hot Sauce Tent at the taco festival and cooled things down with Shamrock Farms milk. It really did “extinguish the anguish!”

For my Breakfast Tacos with Sweet Potatoes, Sausage, Spinach, and Lime Crema, I added a touch of milk to my eggs before scrambling them.

    Oh that Lime crema looks delish, and it looks so simple. This recipe reminds me of street tacos, and I bet the sweet potatoes add so much flavor.

I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
