I will admit that I'm a Mexican food snob. I grew up on it living in Cali. Did my Mom cook it? Yeah no, except for tacos. It was my friends and the restaurants. I lived in Texas for quite some time and thought the Mexican food there would be fabulous. EEEEKKKKKKK, no offense to the locals but that Tex Mex is not for me. I'm really spoiled by California Mexican food.

This site is wonderfully authentic and I can't wait to try some of the recipes. The education starts with salsa. To expand my repertoire I want to try these.

SALSA DE AGUACATE (AVOCADO SALSA)



I'm going to surprise my daughter and make her a bottle of this! The girl can eat ghost peppers so I will make it spicy.

CHIPOTLE HOT SAUCE

Off to get groceries, and you know what will be in my bag

I so get your missing Mexican taste! I'm orginally from So Cali and am now transplanted to Texas. No bueno to Tex Mex!!! Lol lol lol
