How do I get the recipes…I can’t ever find the recipes. Help!!!
Hi Michael! Just click on the link where it says “get the recipe on…”!
There are some pretty good recipes here! Thanks for sharing. “Authentic” might be a bit of a stretch for most of them, but that doesn’t mean they’re not tasty!
Indid Joe, “Authentic” is kind of stretch. More like Tex-Mex kind. They tell me “I already said that” but this is the first time I write. Someone else must’ve said Tex-Mex style.
