Food has a way of bringing you home sometimes. I grew up eating this version of Fideo with meat, making it a main dish rather than the traditional side dish.

I love Chorizo! I grew up eating it. But healthy it is not... and that is where Trader Joe's Soyrizo comes in.

I'm not a believer in denying myself food I love, but even I can admit that sometimes I over indulge, eat too many carbs, have too many fried things.

I discovered a version of this dish years ago (thanks to my big sister) from Rachel Ray. The original had a few hard to find ingredients and unnecessary steps, so I’ve definitely messed with it a bit through the years to make it my own.
