Polvorones de Chocolate (Mexican Chocolate Cookies)

I found this recipe in a Mexican cooking magazine called “Panaderia Mexicana Tradicional”. The recipe was originally written in Spanish and the measurements were in grams. I translated the recipe into English and converted the measurements to accomodate the American kitchen. Living in Texas, we have a lot of Mexican bakeries! I love going into the panaderia by the farmer’s market. I love Mexican pastries because they are not too sweet. This cookie is one of my favorites!

Rice Pudding — Mexican Style, Arroz Con Leche

This arroz con leche recipe comes from a calender cookbook called Mexico, The Beautiful Cookbook. My Mother-in-law was about to throw it out and I found this wonderful rice pudding recipe in it. It is by far the best I have ever tasted. I omit the the lime and orange peel but I am sure it’s probably great with it. uuum, uuum good. *I have made no changes to the recipe but want to make a note that many Food.com users state a frustration with the stirring time so feel free to turn the heat up a little but I posted the recipe exactly as it was on the calendar. I apologize to anyone that has been frustrated. The end result is always wonderful though : ) THANKS for all the wonderful reviews, it is very much appreciated. Enjoy!!!

Mexican Cornbread

Another allrecipes find. She says “This has got to be the tastiest and the most moist cornbread I have ever made. It is the most requested thing I cook, so I am sharing it. Don’t let the ingredients fool you. It’s unbelievable

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.
