Cocoa Chimichanga

What a delicious, easy, and different dessert. Try this recipe. Adding whipped cream probably ruins the whole "healthy dessert" idea but I couldn't resist.

Chicken with Tomatillo and Cilantro Sauce

Okay, I don't blame you when this picture does not entice you to try this recipe. But, this chicken is actually delicious! If you like cilantro, you will love it! The tomatillo and cilantro make such a fresh, tasty sauce. I cut back the onion to about a quarter and it was still delicious. Try this for a new take on chicken breasts!

Rosa Mexicano

A few Saturdays ago (well, maybe it was about two months ago, time flies!) we drove into DC to walk around and find some place to eat. We ended up in the Gallery Place/Chinatown area. We stumbled upon Rosa Mexicano and decided to try it out. It was great! Matt had the carne asada tacos al asador and the steak was delicious! I had the Budin de Pollo and the dish was excellent. The sauce was fantastic! We ended the meal with the Paraiso de Chocolate which was a very rich, dark chocolate souffle. Very decadent. I recommend it only to those who love dark chocolate. I do so I loved it. And, the sweet tomatillo sauce that accompanied it was very different! We saw that the most popular item on the menu is the guacamole that they make at your table in big black stone dishes. We didn't think we would be able to eat it all ourselves but next time we go we'll definitely try that. We really liked the fancy twist on mexican food at this restaurant. It was excellent! To top it off, Jack was so good and the waitstaff was very friendly to him. What a great evening!

Black Bean Stoup

I love this soup recipe from Rachael Ray. I like to serve it with grilled cheese. Yum!
