Try this extra-delicious and ultra easy Mexican rice: GREEN CHILI & RICE.

It only has 5 ingredients, and it is

MUY BUENO! We love it!

Another similar but a little more complex recipe has been a Mays Mansion :> favorite for years & years. So many people ask me for this recipe that I copied a few and keep 'em in a file folder...

MEXICAN RICE CASSEROLE

Make bread "bowls" for guacamole, salsas and dips! They're easy and so fun for parties. And no dishes! Click here

OUT OF THIS WORLD GUACAMOLE I've tried so many recipes for guacamole and in my opinion this one tops 'em all.

Easy, too! Click here

Lots more salsa and dips for terrific parties! These are the GOOD kind, not the same-old-same old... :> Click here

OTHER GREAT IDEAS.. try the most delicious salad ever, BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH LIME or out- of-this-world Mexican-y Chicken Casserole or yummy and different ROAST CORN SALSA and there's even a 5-ingredient-only recipe for fabulous

LIME-CILANTRO SOUR CREAM

Other terrific ideas...

CUKES & ONIONS (just 5 ingredients!). Such a hit and perfect with Mexican food on a hot day. Try it alone or spoon some on top of a green salad. I'm gettin hungry...

How about PULLED PORK!? It's so versatile and everybody loves it. Serve with TOMATOES & MOZZARELLA or another 5-ingredient-only recipe - CRUNCHY CABBAGE & PASTA SALAD.

If you haven't tried my best-on-earth CORNBREAD w/ JALAPENO HONEY GLAZE you are in for a treat of all treats. And you can make the glaze in advance, then heat in microwave right before you put it on the cornbread.

It is DE-LISH!!

For dessert, my two most popular are my MOM'S POPPY SEED CAKE which gets raves every time I make it; as does my moist and delicious CHOCOLATE CHUNK CAKE (starts w/ a mix! Yess!).
