My favorite food. and my new project
Something i go CRAZY for is Posole. Posole is a stew from mexico. it uses hominy and it is usually served with a protein such as beef, pork, or chicken. the posole comes in different colors depending the seasoning you use, green posole or  my ultimate favorite food red posole,  Christmas is not Navidad for us without some good delicious homemade posole on the stove.
