I was skimming over some recipe websites the other day because I need to come up with the perfect salad to take to a potluck dinner I am going to here in a couple of days. One of the recipes I came across was for tex-mex chopped chicken salad. It looked so good in the pictures that I saw I just had to make it! It includes chucked cheese! I love chunked cheese. I know I’ll have to make a double batch of this salad in order to feed everyone, but that’s okay, it’ll be worth it!

If you enjoy your salad with a bit of spice this is the recipe for you. It’s the perfect accompaniment for any Spanish-themed supper or lunch. It has everything you’d find in a diner down in El Paso. The chicken is cooked to perfection and mingles well with the veggies and savory spices. Plus, there are crunchy crushed tortilla chips in every bite! Yum!

The other day my gal pal Sally sauntered over from across the street to share with me all the details of her sister’s bridal shower. When she got to the food my ears perked up like a French poodle’s because I love food! Especially, party food. So anyway, Sally starts telling me about this taco salad that was at the party. Yeah, okay, taco salad is good but it’s pretty common, you know? Well, folks, this taco salad had a twist…a seafood twist. It was a layered popcorn shrimp taco salad. Sally said that it was a major hit and very tasty.

You know me, I had to seek out this recipe and make it for myself. Of course, I had to wait for a day that my littlest herd member wasn’t going to be home because he is allergic to shellfish. Poor guy! He had a hamburger with grandma so all was well with the world in the end 🙂

Making a snack that everyone will love can sometimes be a chore. These pork nachos are unbelievably good and super easy to make. I served them at my husband’s Superbowl party last year, and I don’t know what got more cheers, the nachos or the game!

The guys loved the nachos, us ladies loved the nachos, and even the kids loved the nachos! One of the best things about preparing this snack food is how simple and easy it is. For the most part, everything gets laid out on a cookie sheet or baking dish and goes into the oven. It’s a quick and effective way to feed hungry bellies. I’ve also made these pork nachos for dinner before and served them up with Spanish rice and refried beans.

Whether it’s for a Super Bowl party or a snack for your family to munch on, Crock Pot buffalo chicken dip is divine! This spicy treat pairs well with Doritos, Tostitos, or any sort of taco chip. We like to place the dip into Aztec flour tortillas and eat it on taco night. Just add some lettuce, Pace salsa, and a dollop of Daisy sour cream for a complete Mexicana meal!

This appetizer is totally simple to make. All you do is toss your ingredients into the Crock Pot and set it on low for a few hours. Give it a few stirs every now and then and that’s it! Soon, you’ll be diving into this savory dip with your favorite chips. If you should happen to have any leftovers, we’ve heard the dip tastes better the second time around. However, we’ve never experienced that because our buffalo chicken dip get’s wolfed down on the first go.

As far as easy comfort food goes, particularly for the cooler months of the year, it’s hard to beat a good, savory soup. This Easy Taco Soup has a hearty flavor to it, and after a bit of prep,  the slow cooker does the rest of the work for you.

After making my second batch of spaghetti meat sauce for the season not too long ago, I was looking for something a little different. (Don’t get me wrong; I love the spaghetti sauce recipe that I adapted from what Mother used to make, but I do like to mix things up, and it would be a shame to get bored with something like that.)  This soup recipe keeps it really easy and low-hassle, and it has some of that Southwestern flavor in which I like to indulge, now and then.

Quick tip: Instead of tortilla chips you could serve this with fresh, homemade bread.

Looking for a simple but tasty (and unique) snack item to serve at your next gathering?  Or maybe you just want something a little different to munch on while watching your favorite shows at home? Well, give this Labor Day Fruit Salsa a try. It’s loaded with great flavor and is a cinch to put together!

It really is amazing what you can do with a fairly simple fruit and herb mixture, sometimes.  Normally, when I think of salsa, I think of the typical tomato, onion, and bell pepper variety, but let me tell you:  This fruit salsa is really delicious as well, and it certainly stands apart from the more typical snack options. Get ready to receive a massive amount of compliments!
