	Carrot Raisin Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings I love baking from scratch - sometimes the more ingredients the better. Other times not so much. This cookie bar recipe uses a cake mix to cut the prep time and turns out like you slaved in the kitchen! It’s moist and chewy and hard to resist.	2 votes 1 review 4590 views
	Grilled Shrimp Tacos by Carolinaheartstrings I cannot get enough of them. I love everything about this dish. Depending on how spicy you like your shrimp you can grill them with no spice, a little spice or lots of spice. I like mine grilled with just a dusting of chili powder. Use your favorite kind of shell, corn or flour, crispy or not and pile the shrimp high with my pico…	1 vote 4912 views
	Mexican Vegetable Medley by Carolinaheartstrings Two of the vegetables that were new to me when I visited the Mexican produce vendors at the flea market last month were the chayote squash and the tomatillo. I have since been able to purchase them in the produce sections of chain supermarkets so although it was fun visiting with the vendors it is more convenient to pick them up…	1 vote 2477 views
	Sour Cream Rhubarb Pound Cake by Carolinaheartstrings This is a pretty basic pound cake recipe. The addition of sour cream and the rhubarb is what makes it a special dessert. Moist, buttery with a tang from the rhubarb this is a wonderful dessert to have with a tall glass of iced tea.	1 vote 2423 views
	Pico De Gallo by Carolinaheartstrings I am a Mexican food fiend and nothing makes me happier than a big bowl of pico de gallo and chips. This is such an easy recipe and you can make it mild, medium or spicy depending on what you prefer. I like spicy, so jalapeno peppers are for me, but you could add habanero peppers if you like a lot of heat!	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 1832 views
	Shrimp Relleno by Carolinaheartstrings Shrimp (“camarones” in Spanish) are one of my favorite foods to cook. This easy to make Relleno Sauce complements the shrimp well and goes great with a Lowcountry favorite – rice! The ingredients are items found in most pantries so give this a whirl for a little “South of The Border” flavor.	1 vote 1590 views
	Mexican Lasagna by Carolinaheartstrings One of the The Husband’s favorite dishes is lasagna, so this month I decided to make lasagna for him with a Mexican twist. I have to say, it was delicious. This might just become my new favorite! This is a recipe that can easily have ingredients added or taken away depending on what you or your family like. No matter, how you…	1 vote 1 comment 5411 views
	Rhubarb Crisp by Carolinaheartstrings My mother always had a huge rhubarb patch. She used to make crisps and pies all summer long. They were always so delicious and I can remember picking a stalk of the rhubarb and dipping it in sugar and eating it raw. Sour and sweet all at the same time. I loved it! I have always had a hard time finding rhubarb here in North…	1 vote 3305 views
	Grilled Vegetable Tostadas by Carolinaheartstrings Mexican food, one of my favorites any day of the week. In fact, I am pretty sure I could eat some type of Mexican food inspired dish every day of the week. I have a long list of family favorites that I make over and over. For my recipe posts this month I wanted to take some of the ones I usually make and put a different spin on…	1 vote 1667 views
	Baked Chicken Taquitos by Carolinaheartstrings We love love love Mexican food at our house so when Alessa and I decided to feature Mexican food as our theme this month I knew the family would love it! This particular recipe is so very easy and I tried to “healthy” it up a bit by baking instead of deep frying the taquitos. The result was delicious. You could use beef, pork or…	1 vote 1900 views
