As you know I love Tex-Mex. It’s a side effect of growing up in Texas. The other day I was looking through my pantry deciding what to make for dinner. We are getting ready to move back to Texas (finally!!) and I am trying to use up all the food I have on hand instead of buying more food. To say things are getting creative would be an understatement. Some meals are turning out substantially better than others. I happen to have all these ingredients on hand because I make red chicken enchiladas and taco soup a lot.  We make homemade salsa all the time and have a little salsa garden. With all this on hand it made it pretty easy to come up with something tasty and I must say this recipe for Texas tamale pie turned out fantastic!

Don’t Worry About Heartburn or Bloating

Now you may be looking at this spicy casserole thinking there’s no way I can eat this. You might be worried about heartburn or upset stomach. Well, I’ve got good news. There’s two Boiron homeopathic products I use just to avoid these issues when eating spicy Tex-Mex food. I eat fairly heavy on a regular basis, so I speak from lots of experience. 
 
Acidil® offers temporary relief by targeting the three main symptoms: heartburn due to acid reflux, production of gas from fermentation due to slow digestion, and stomachaches from acidity.* 

Gasalia® is a homeopathic medicine, that relieves bloating, pressure, discomfort and pain associated with gas.* They are tiny quick-dissolving, unflavored tablets melt under the tongue for a convenient and discreet way to relieve gas or bloating anywhere. Anyone ages 6 and up can take this.
