This is a simple, quick dish to accompany any entree where a Mexican flare is needed. It's quick but looks like one of those dishes you'd spend a lot of time making.

Nothing beats the aroma of Chili bubbling away in the kitchen on a winter's day.

Greek Orzo Stuffed Bell Peppers with Lemon Basil Tomatoes
Orzo is an Italian word for "barley" because the pasta is thought to resemble that grain. But it isn't call "Orzo" in Italy. It's called "Risi," which means "rice."

A great all purpose relish or salsa for complimenting pork chops, hamburgers, steak, meatloaf, fajitas, omelets, and anything else where you're seeking some bright, spicy Mexican flavor.

In spite of its ubiquity, guacamole was virtually unknown fifty years ago outside of Texas, California and Florida where the fruit is grown.

A refreshing and healthful side dish to accompany grilled chicken, steaks or Mexican dishes; it can even be spooned into tacos with meat and shredded cheese, or rolled into a burrito.

A simple mix of chopped black olives, green chilies, tomatoes and green onions marinated in vinegar, garlic and seasonings, and just screaming to be dipped with a corn chip.
