Mexican spiced baby back ribs with honey chipotle sauce

Low and slow makes these ribs fall off the bone delicious! You can cook these ribs in the oven (in the attached recipe) or go ahead and throw them on the grill!

The trick is low temp and slow cooking...so set it and forget it! When they're ready, you'll have your family and friends begging for your secret!!!

Fried fish tacos with avocado cream sauce

Fried fish tacos with avocado cream sauce

Every day is a perfect day for fish tacos...but especially beautiful, sunny Fridays in the spring and summer!

The fish is fried on the stove top in a bit of olive oil, but can just as easily be seasoned and grilled!

The avocado cream sauce, chopped crisp lettuce, onion, cilantro and fresh lime juice, will make you feel like you're eating at a seaside taco shack in Baja, California! (Your favorite HOT SAUCE a must! We used Chipotle Tabasco!)

The dough is simple to prepare, yields two and is ready in an hour! It's a flaky type dough, similar to that of a Chicago style deep dish pie...

Roasted poblano macaroni and cheese

PoblanoMacandcheese

Roasted poblano macaroni and cheese is an adult version of the all time favorite comfort food! I used penne rigate because it's what I had on hand, but any small pasta/macaroni would do!

The dish can be kept vegetarian by leaving out the crunchy bits of freshly cooked bacon, but the bacon does add to the overall flavor and texture of the dish.

I hope you'll like it as much as we did! Cheers! Carolyn :)
