Mexican rice by Candice Goodyear

Found this recipe on 'Cooking Classy' I tweaked it a tiny bit and it is amazingly close to the rice I love at mexican restaurants. I was actually amazed.

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…

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…

Mexican Pozole I (Posole)

Mexican Pozole I (Posole) by Salad Foodie

A hominy stew with pork or chicken, this soup can usually be found where Mexican food is popular. Has a nice “heat” to it, and as with most stews, flavors enhance next day. This recipe is based on one from the Las Palmas website and requires about 1 hour of cooking. A second version of posole is posted (see "Useful Links" below.)

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 Coffee

Mexican Coffee by Robyn Savoie

There is no better cocktail than warm Mexican Coffee. There's the classic recipe were Tequila and Kahlua liquors are used. Then sweetened with softened vanilla ice cream. Instead of sweetening this with ice cream I used honey, added half-n-half to replace the smooth creamy element of ice cream. The liquor is not listed, but if…

Joyce's Fresh Jalapeno Salsa

Joyce's Fresh Jalapeno Salsa by Kathleen Scott

Joyce is the angel who helps care for my father. The last time I visited with my parents, Joyce taught us how to make fresh jalapeno salsa. Joyce's salsa puts the bottled stuff to shame and this "from-scratch" salsa is so easy we'll never buy salsa again. The only caveat is "know what you like"--for just a little heat, use just a…

Mexican Chicken Soup

Mexican Chicken Soup by Mellie Duffy

This is a super easy, healthy, & inexpensive soup to make. It can be made spicier by using medium or hot salsa instead of mild salsa; but be sure to get thick & chunky salsa. For the 2 cups of cooked chicken breast, I cut up the breasts (about 2 large size) while they are…

Favorite Enchilada Sauce

Favorite Enchilada Sauce by Patrick Travis

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…

Zesty Salsa for Canning

Zesty Salsa for Canning by Krista Goben

Makes about 6 (16 oz) pints or 12 (8 oz) half pints (I double this recipe to make 7 quarts, it usually makes a little more so I have about 5 pint jars ready in case!) **note: When I make quarts, I boil for 30 minutes.
