Homemade Refried Beans by John SpottiswoodI'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that… |

Mango Chipotle Sauce/Glaze by Bob VincentThis is a good sauce/glaze for almost anything. It is easy to make and stores refrigerated well for several days or if air tight much longer. I use it on grilled fish, chicken or pork. It can be used hot as a finishing sauce or cold as a glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Adjust the chipotle peppers to your taste. |

Mango Salsa by Unknown ChefMade salmon burgers the other night. Wanted to make a refreshing side because the temperature was in the mid 80's that day. Aha, mango salsa. Fresh or frozen? Couldn't find fresh on my shopping excursion so bought a pound bag of frozen mangoes. The thawed mango pieces did not create a lake of liquid. In fact, the minor amount of… |

Taco Sauce #2 by myra byankaThis is inexpensive to make, stays in the fridge for weeks, and is a nice, basic sauce to drizzle on tacos or over tortilla dishes for decoration, i.e., it is not a cooking sauce. It's very mild, so kids might like it. |

Ron's Afterburner Mexican Hot Sauce by Ronald R. FlindersThis is my version of Pico Pica, available on the west- coast but very limited in the mid-west. Goes great on just about you want to add a little zip to, especially Mexican foods. |

Fresh Pintos by GroomsieMy grandmother Manuela taught me how to make these. She used to serve them in her restaurant in Mexico. A simple recipe which can be served as a side dish or even as an entree! Great to have your kids or grandchildren sort through the beans the night before. Remove broken beans, dirt and rocks before soaking. |
