Layered Bean Dip

Layered Bean Dip by Salad Foodie

A real party-pleaser! Versions of this recipe abound but what sets this one apart from most is it is served hot from the oven, and has a layer of ground beef. We always called this Supper Nachos but one recipe makes enough for a party appetizer for about 2 dozen people, so cut it down to size for a family dinner!

Homemade Salsa to be canned, or served fresh

Homemade Salsa to be canned, or served fresh by Salad Foodie

A perfect solution to summer's finale of Roma tomatoes is this canning salsa recipe. Although paste (Roma) tomatoes are the preferred variety, slicing tomatoes will work but if they are, I recommend these changes: seed them and if needed, add a few additional minutes cooking and stirring time to reduce the mixture and achieve…

Pull this casserole together in minutes using store-bought rotisserie chicken and canned red or green enchilada sauce. This recipe bypasses frying the tortillas and utilizes a good way to use up stale tortilla chips.

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili by Salad Foodie

The Chili Cook-Off is over in my kitchen and there is a winner: Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili. An article in Allrecipes Magazine (9/15) on tailgate chilies inspired me to add a new variety to my repertoire. So over a few weeks I tried each of the 5 recipes that were featured. They were all very good but this one for me was a…

Mexican Pozole II (Posole)

Mexican Pozole II (Posole) by Salad Foodie

This is the second installment on my mission to try different methods of making pozole. It has similar ingredients as the first one I posted (see “Useful Links” below), is less spicy and requires a longer cook time. Here are some things I liked about this one: (1) ease of preparation - just dump everything in the pot (2) a generous…

Shrimp In Cilantro Sauce

Shrimp In Cilantro Sauce by Robyn Savoie

Serve this lively cilantro-accented shrimp with rice to help quell the heat of the hot peppers. This recipe will make enough sauce for dipping (salsa), over eggs in the morning and dipping veggies. You can easily use thinly sliced chicken in place of the shrimp.

Tostadas with Shredded Pork and Spices

Tostadas with Shredded Pork and Spices by Robyn Savoie

Crisp fried tortillas topped with re-fried beans and spiced shredded pork make a delectable treat and are often sold from stalls in Mexican City streets. I like to switch between black and pinto re-fried beans for variety. I also found you can easily make this using a crock-pot/slow cooker; see tip below.

Mexican Vegetable Medley

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…
