Cilantro Lime Rice

Cilantro Lime Rice
Sometimes at the end of the month I have more meals left than budget.  That's when I try to get resourceful and stretch my dime the best I can.  It's from that place that my recipe for Cilantro Lime Rice was born.  I was having friends over for a dinner party and didn't have a lot of m…

With the weather warming up my body craves fresh foods.  I want color in my diet.  Reds, oranges, yellows, purples, greens, I want it all!  And my summer condiment of choice is Pico de Gallo !  To me it is the perfect embodiment of the freshness of summer and it's ALWAYS in my fridge.  It is so…

Tequila Lime Chicken

Tequila Lime Chicken
I love chicken. I would go so far as to call it the tofu of meats!  I say that because, on it's own, it doesn't have a lot of flavor, but when you season it just right, OMG! One of my favorite ways to prepare chicken is with my tequila lime marinade.  It is PACKED full of flavor, super sim…

Perfect Simple Guacamole

Perfect Simple Guacamole
I will never forget the first time I tried guacamole.  I was visiting my sister in New Jersey, it was our last night there, and we were going to visit some friends that we had met at her wedding.  They are from Costa Rica, and the mother was going to make us a Latin feast!  I kid you not, they lit…

Grand Rapids Wet Burritos

Grand Rapids Wet Burritos
My husband grew up in Grand Rapids Michigan, and for as long as we have been married (15 years next week!) he has talked about a gal named Maria, and the Wet Burritos she made at the Mexican Restaurant he and his family frequently visited.  I assumed that a wet burrito was a burrito with salsa on …

Winter Salsa

Winter Salsa
Even though I am not Mexican, I love celebrating Cinco de Mayo.  Basically it's because it gives me the freedom to eat as much Mexican food as I want!  But let's be honest, does one REALLY need a reason to eat Mexican?  No, I think not.  *lol* ANYWAY, the one downside to Cinco de Mayo bei…

Perfect Homemade Taco Seasoning

Perfect Homemade Taco Seasoning
I think it is safe to say that, when we think of Mexican food at home, tacos are one of the first things that come to mind.  In fact, I'm pretty sure there is a "Taco Tuesday" movement sweeping across the country as well.  Tacos really are the PERFECT weeknight meal because they requ…

We LOVE Mexican food in my house! There is just something about it that says "I Love You" to my tummy.  One of the things I love most about Mexican is that it is so simple.  Take my Chicken Enchiladas for example, they are quick and easy to make, and SOOOO delicious!  You are going to l…

Cheesy Mexican Rice

Cheesy Mexican Rice
This past weekend we were so blessed to have my step-daughter and granddaughter staying with us.  She is one hard working momma and I know that she doesn't get to do a lot of home cooking, so I wanted to make her something special.  I asked her what she would like, and she declared MEXICAN! …
