Mustard and Dill Give Tater Tots a Grown-up Taste
Tater tots are those little potato buddies we never forgot about. Lucky for us, they’re always available in the freezer aisle at the market. The next time you’re yearning to visit your good ol’ pals, head to the spice cabinet and get your mustard powder and chopped dill.

Cuban Ground Beef (Picadillo) with Quick Black Bean Soup
Picadillo is the the essential Cuban dish. Exceptionally seasoned with white rice and black beans was the way both my grandmothers served it.
