Margaritas - (America's Test Kitchen, )

TASTE: Very Good
REPEAT : Of course!
PREP : depends on the juiciness of the fruit!

This recipe calls for basically a 1 : 1 ratio of lime/lemon juice freshly squeezed with tequila and triple sec. Some sugar (stevia liquid worked fine) and a pinch of salt. Good enough for us! Won't buy pre-mixed stuff full of high fructose corn syrup no more! Worth the money saved and the taste and freshness to just squeeze some limes and lemons.


Recipe does call for zest of lemons and limes as well, and allowing the juice to sit for 4-24 hours first. OK if you don't too in our opinion.

Guacamole - MMMMmmmmm...That's my special recipe.

I can't tall you what it is, and I never measure the ingredients, but mmmmmmm......it is GOOOOD!

Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad - (Cooking Light, August 2006, p. 180)

Taste: Very Good
Repeat: Yes
Prep : Average

This is a really great salad that I've made several times and have taken as a dish to various functions. It's usually a hit. Even though there is chipotle in adobo in the dressing, it's not too spicy because of the sour cream. The salad is romain lettuce, red onion, black beans, corn, avocado and tomoto and the dressing is light sour cream, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, chipotle and salt. This one's a keeper!
