Carnival of the Recipes

 

 

        

As I mentioned last week, I have the pleasure of hosting this week’s Carnival of the Recipes.  This week’s theme is Mexican food.  Yummy!  My husband will be thrilled with the new recipes I will try.  If you’re throwing a SuperBowl party, perhaps you might consider doing a Mexican theme.  

Hope you enjoy all the recipes!  Let me know which ones are your favorites.

Shawn at Everything and Nothing has a recipe for Mexican Chicken Stew.  Perfect for a cold day and best of all, it looks easy to make!

Kelly, the co-author for Thrifty Mommy, has a Great Mexican Casserole Recipe.  It was passed down to her from her grandmother.

My friend Revka at The Porch Light shares her recipe for Tex Mex Crock Stew/Steak Burritos.  She also shares how families can have more time together by using the crock pot.   

Kate at Babylune, another b5 blog, has submitted a recipe for Root Vegetable Casserole.  This is an extremely healthy dish made of root vegetables that you can spice up with Mexican flavor. A few chilis on top or serve with a dollop of salsa to keep the Mexican taste alive.

Just in time for the Super Bowl, Michele at Meanderings has a Super Bowl Taco Dip.

[Sorry folks.  This post was pretty long.  So click on the link below to see all of the great Mexican recipes.]

Fitch at Wise Bread introduces us to Morningstar “fake meat”.  He has a freezer full of it and gives us a recipe easy or awesome tacos.   I may be dropping back by for some thrifty tips.

Keewee’s Corner gives us a recipe for authentic Chicken Mole that was given to her from her Mexican chef friend.  Ummhmm!

Peggy has a six-layer dip.  Looks like another good one for the Super Bowl.  Yummy!

Kathy at Start Cooking has a guacamole recipe and some nice looking pictures.  She also has some instructions on how to handle hot peppers.

Rhianna from Rhianna’s Recipes lives in Texas and she has many Mexican and Tex-Mex recipes on her site.   This link will take you to her recipe for Chicken Enchiladas, but while you’re there you can search around for tamales, guacamole dip, tortillas, and more.
