I love Mexican food and there is no other words to describe this salad but fantastic! The salad part is just like any other salad with lettuce, tomato, olives, cheese, and avocado. The stars of this main dish are the meat and the dressing so don’t change a thing when you make this because they are perfect as they are. This is an easy to prepare so you will win all around. The most time-consuming is chopping the onions, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes and cilantro. It does make a lot. I mean that I served 10 people and had 2 servings as leftovers. The leftovers are still good the next day if you don’t add the dressing to the top. I do like it with some heat so I put really hot jalapeno peppers with seeds and all in there. You adjust the heat to your taste. I love serving this with some crunchy tortilla chips and homemade Pico de gallo. Yummy! Make this for your next get together, serve it on your deck or patio or take it to your friends to enjoy. They will thank you!



Last month I served these to my book club. Now they are here for you to pull out for your next get together. They are so easy to make. In fact you can prepare the dough ahead of time and freeze so it will be sitting there ready when you are ready. A hundred years ago I made these cheese straws using a manual cookie gun and I found them quite difficult to push through. Now 


I love these sausage balls! Even though this recipe has been around for a long time, my students have requested me to make this recipe and post it. So here it is. This is day four of no school because of the snow and ice. What better excuse do you have to get in the kitchen? I think that these were originally intended to be served as a party food, but here we serve them for breakfast. Let them cool and place them in a freezer bag. They freeze well for a month, but if your family is like mine they will not last near that long.
