I would serve bread and roasted potatoes with every meal, if I thought I could get away with it! Nice menu plan for the week - very Tex-Mex. Is that because of where you live, or just personal preference? I imagine you can get really nice ingredients, including chilis....

He's making the Posole tonite. We'll look into theh Rancho Gordo Hominy. Thanks!

Might even make it the long way, i.e. no pressure cooker! Your dinner tonight sounds great - have you tried the Hominy from Rancho Gordo? I bought some at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market a while back, it was very tasty. I think you can order online. BTW, how do you manage to cook such a complete dinner while working full time? I am impressed!

We're having Posole tonight, probably Chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, feta and sun dried tomatoes, and then maybe Pedro's Special (ground beef, beans, tomatoes, tortilla chips all in a caserole with cheese!) Yes, I am a bit on the old fashioned side sometimes. Yum! I’d love the recipe for the white bean soup if you find a good one.

I did a search on Local Harvest for Las Vegas, and the only thing I could find was a farmer's market in Henderson that brings in produce from California! I did find a link for the <a href="http://www.lasvegasfarmersmarket.com/" rel="nofollow">Las Vegas Farmer's Market</a>, not sure if that is still valid or not. Maybe you could start one? I have no idea what it takes, but my feeling is that many of these weekend markets are started by folks like us who care about eating local....
