My Thoughts:
I made a few recipes from this cookbook. The first one I made was Frijoles Charros. As with most recipes I make, I modified this one just a tad. It calls for 1/2 pound of ground sausage and I used a whole pound; it requests 4 serrano chilies, minced, optional, and well, I should have limited my serrano's. I did only use 3, but I should have used just one. All of our mouths were burning, so much so that we couldn't enjoy the flavors. I also fried up some corn tortillas into chips, put about four or so chips in a bowl, then a ladel full of charros, followed by shredded cheddar and topped with sour cream. Here are some pictures:
I also made Butttermilk Chicken. I chose to use chicken thighs rather than chicken breasts as we love dark meat. I didn't have fresh rosemary but used dried instead. I would say it was a success since it was devoured. :)
Lastly, I made All-American Pulled Beef. This was a huge success as well. Who would have thought Root Beer was needed. SO, great family friendly recipes are in this cookbook. :) I recommend you check it out. :)
