Whats for dinner?

Why…I’m glad you asked.

Grilled Snapper with a wonderful smoked paprika and cumin rub…with corn salsa, fresh tomatillo sauce and Mango guacamole…all piled high on a corn tostada with a key lime remoulade sauce.

Easy Peasy puddin’ and pie!

Start by adding some diced mango to your favorite Guacamole recipe.

MY fave guac recipe has chopped scallions, cilantro jalapenos, sea salt…

I add some yogurt…just a dab…for creaminess.

This is great all by itself...actually everything here is great
