Shrimp Mexicana or Camarones a la Mexicana is the recipe that I made to go with the Plantains I featured last week. I like to make theme dinners every now and then and this recipe seemed easy
I’ve had several people ask me about Plantains lately so I thought they deserved their own post. Plantains or Platanos (yes, that first “a” will get the proper accent when I get home to my
I was going to wait to publish this recipe because we just had Pineapple Salsa a week or so ago. But when I posted that recipe, I mentioned that I was on a kick of putting together
Crockpot Mexican Chicken might be the only reason we had any food to eat at our house this past week. As a musician, I have times (fall & spring in particular) when I’m ridiculously busy

Eggplant Lasagna! Or if you’re into using air quotes, this should be Eggplant “Lasagna” because it’s sneaky. “Lasagna” minus the lasagna noodles. This is a great recipe that I got from my friend Tim Macri.
