Green Chile Frito Pie
Frito pie is traditionally chili meat, cheese poured into a snack-sized sack of Frito chips cut open sideways. This recipe is more of a bowl. I had it at the Plaza Café in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was probably one of the best things I eaten in a long time. I have always been a fan of green Hatch chilies. This Green Chili Frito Pie was so good and VERY spicy, just they way I like it!

Pasta E Fagioli
Pasta E Fagioli is one of my favorite ways to make pasta. The beauty of this dish is that you can make the "puréed sauce" in the morning and then add the broth and pasta to it later. I love things that you can do ahead. Crusty bread is mandatory for this meal - I mean if you're gonna carb load, do it properly!

Chickpea, Red Pepper, & Spinach Salad with Harissa
This is a wonderful Moroccan salad with a great depth of flavor. Harissa is what my husband calls the ketchup of north Africa. Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste made with roasted red peppers, serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, or caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil for preservation. It is also popular in Moroccan cuisine.
