Oaxacan Nuts

A nice spicy nut for a game or as a hostess gift. Packaged in attractive containers these spicy nuts make delightful small gifts.

Creamy Spicy Oaxacan Sweet Onion Soup

Just like the title says, this is sweet and creamy and spicy with chipotle and poblano peppers! So enjoy! Adapted from Donna Nordon, owner/chef of Cafe Terra Cotta in Tucson, Arizona. This will feed a crowd, so feel free to cut recipe in half!

Lenten Lentils, Oaxacan-Style

These unusual, luscious lentils are a traditional Lenten meal of Oaxaca, Mexico. Pineapple, plantain, cloves and allspice give this dish a tropical feel – plus there’s plenty of garlic for zip. Garnish with fried plantain slices.

Jamaican Healthy Meat “patties” (Low Calorie/Low Fat/Low Glycemic)

This recipe is an idea I came up with, to satisfy my craving for “the real thing” while on a no salt, no fat, no wheat, low glycemic, healthy eating plan! Of course, though not flakey like the traditional dough made with butter and shortening, these are made similar to an omlette or crepe, and have all the flavor without the fat! If not on salt restriction, you may add salt to taste.
