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.

The recipe for Pumpkin Seed Sauce makes more than you'll need for the pork skewers, but leftover sauce is delicious with chips, wrapped in warm tortillas or used like mayonnaise on roast chicken and…

Bacon Crusted Texas Brisket

Bacon Crusted Texas Brisket by Robyn Savoie

Pull out the smoker for this one or be prepared to use your grill. I recommend charcoal over gas. This is time consuming but worth it. I found this recipe in Steven Raichlen's Cookbook; "How to Grill by Steven Raichlen (Workman, 2001)."

Blackberry Vinegar

Blackberry Vinegar by A.L. Wiebe

I have been making this vinegar for years, and it can be used in such a variety of ways, that I really cannot imagine my pantry being without it. I use it as a salad dressing, with chicken, turkey, and fish dishes. You do not have to use blackberries, as raspberries work well in this too. I imagine that strawberries would be a…
