Jalapeno Popper Dip
I was reading Closet Cooking today, a wonderful blog by the way and a must read, and he had a recipe for Jalapeno Popper Dip posted which set my mouth to full water. It is at this point where I must tell you that I love dips, warm dips especially, and I knew that I would be making that dip to go with dinner. I did make some changes to the dip, not that it really needed them, because we do our jalapeno poppers a little different...
Mango Avocado Salsa
Something fun to start today … Dan Lepard at The Guardian listed my White Chocolate Lime Cookies as one of the Highlights from the Blogs This Week!! See the mention here, and thank you to Dan Lepard!! When I have steak tacos, and I am feeling summery, I make mango avocado salsa to go on top. I love the cool greens and bright yellow of this salsa. It puts me in the mood to relax, and the refreshing taste keeps me coming back...
Cheese and Onion Enchiladas with Chili con Carne
I live in Texas and have a shameless addiction to Tex-Mex food. I grew up on the stuff and from an early age remember going to restraunts that served dishes of fragrant, spicy food and warm, soft tortillas.

I love the rich meat sauce...
Flour Tortillas
When I was growing up in South Texas we had this neighbor who would, on Saturday afternoons, make her tortillas for the week. Believe me, I made friends with her children so I could make myself available for tortilla day. I think she enjoyed my enthusiasm and always had a few extra tortillas for me to take home. They were sublime! My family would fight over them, and no matter how many she sent home with me they were always gone...
Guacamole … My Way
This is guacamole, my way. It may offend purists, who insist that guacamole is best when it is avocado and lime juice only, but I have made it this way for years and so far I have had no complaints. Even with the mayo. Trust me, it’s so good. I served this dip for parties and it is eaten with greedy abandon. It is also lovely on top of fajitas or spread inside a whole grain wrap sandwich. The options are only limited by...
