A Unique & Yummy Salsa!

Tue, 15 Apr 2003 20:01:25 -0400

I am a a stickler for using fresh ingredients so when my boyfriend from 5 years ago made this up for the first time I cringed! Pardon me for saying so, but if I hadn't have been living with him I never would have eaten it! Hahahaha!!!! The boyfriend is long gone but this is the only salsa I'll eat! If you aren't used to cilantro it may take a few minutes to grow on you - it did me. Give it a chance though. It is seriously yummy!! -- posted by Lottidawe

Mango-Avocado Salsa

Tue, 24 Jun 2003 20:01:02 -0400

This is an easy tropical dish that is full of flavor! I like to serve it with chips, or as a side dish. It would be easy to try slightly different versions by adding lime juice, ginger, pineapple, or jalapenos, depending on your personal taste. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks! -- posted by Calla Lily

Hibiscus tea

Thu, 01 Jan 2004 20:00:28 -0500

A tart drink and very colorful. Add some to regular tea instead of lemon juice. You can make this overnight by placing a handful of blossoms into a pitcher of spring water. They expand a lot, so be sure to squeeze then out if you remove them. -- posted by Kath in CA

You can use any fresh or frozen fruit that you enjoy most, and on a hot summer day, try a little coconut rum or spiced rum to add a little kick!

Enchilasana!

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:22:25 -0400

A great-tasting, family-friendly mexican lazagna! This dish started in 1988, my Junior year of high school when I was asked to prepare a dish for a potluck in Spanish class. It's evolved over the years into this very-yummy, quite spicy, everybody's-gotta-have-seconds casserole... ENJOY! -- posted by FoodPoet

Dan's Baja Chicken

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:19:51 -0400

In my many years in the kitchen, I stumbled upon this recipe in my experimentations with cooking for clients who wanted something "different." The most important part of this recipe is the marinade. Once marinated, the chicken can be broiled, grilled, fried, or cooked any other way, depending on your dietary wishes/requirements. Best served with "Party Rice" (which I will post a recipe for later ;-)), this dish also goes well with baked potatoes or Penne tossed in garlic and olive oil. -- posted by T3 Foxen

Authentic Chile Rellenos

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:56:44 -0500

This recipe is for those that have access to a store that sells Mexican groceries. Often it is hard to distinguish the fresh cheeses, such as queso blanco or panela from the melting cheeses like queso oaxaca. Either will work in this recipe. Just don't use a hard cheese like cotiga which is a hard cheese sililar to parmesan. I have been searching for the chile rellenos that I loved as a child that came from the Sawtelle Deli in West Los Angeles in the 60's. It's really not as hard as it looks and the taste is far superior to the chile relleno casseroles that are popular, IMHO. -- posted by ditsyquoin

Chicken Tamale Casserole

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:28:52 -0500

Healthy Cilantro Yogurt Sauce

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 13:01:10 -0500

This is something i have played around with for a while now. All the taste you could want with no where near the guilt. I love sour cream but this greek yougurt spiced up takes the prize. Use it for taco topping or a dip for chips or pita, or countless other uses. -- posted by Cook of the Hill

Impossibly Easy Sweet Pulled Pork

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:29:50 -0500

Mike's Salsa

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:39:15 -0400

A positively delightful salsa recipe for any occasion. Do not allow the idea of using habanero peppers to scare you off! They really blend well and will not make the dish as spicy as you may think with the seeds and veins removed. If you are brave (or crazy?) like me, leave them in on one or two of the peppers and enjoy the added heat. -- posted by MrTink
