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…

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.

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!

When I was a kid growing up in the 50’s my folks had a rustic glazed terracotta casserole dish they bought in Mexico. Once or twice a month my dad would take the dish down to a little Mexican takeout place called Johnson’s Enchiladas and would have it filled with Johnson’s beef enchiladas. The enchiladas had a simple ground beef…

Skinny Mexican Style Chicken and Cornbread Casserole by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

My husband and I love this main course casserole so much, we ended up eating it 3 days in a row! The skinny for 1 serving, 323 calories, 8 grams of fat and 8 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. It’s a real cinch to make, freezes great and only needs a side salad to serve with it! Easy, right and did I mention that it’s absolutely DELICIOUS??

Salsa Verde Pork by Nelski

This recipe is mainly from the Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook, but I didn't add the dried apricots or hot pepper sauce. This pork makes delicious pork tacos but I think it would be good eaten with rice and/or beans also.
