Guacamole from Oaxaca by John Spottiswood

This is an easy to make, flavorful, and slightly spicy guacamole. Previously I never blended the onion, garlic and cilantro into a puree as this calls for, and I think it does a better job of distributing the flavors evenly. It also reduces the amount of fine mincing required. Even if you've got a trusted guacamole recipe, you…

Guacamole by Frank Fariello

I spend a lot of time on my blog in wistful remembrances of the delicious fruits and vegetables that I used to enjoy in Italy and, conversely, moaning about the lack of flavor of much of the produce you are likely to find here in the US. But there are times when the New World outdoes the Old. One example is the avocado which remains…

Mexican Veggie Millet by Hilary

After returning from a year in Korea, we just HAD to get a rice cooker. The Koreans couldn't live without it and now neither can I! If you don't have one, well...I recommend one. But you certainly can make this meal in a slow-cooker or even in a pot on the stove - but you'll need to watch the pot and stir:) It starts to smell…

I am so glad I brought some home as well as others items for next recipe. Young…
