I love Cowboy Caviar served as an appetizer with Taco Scoops. - 5/6/2012   5:20:23 PM

Can't wait to try the crock pot tortilla soup. Thanks for sharing your recipes. - 5/6/2012   12:18:55 AM

I don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but I am a fan of Mexican food. I don't make it healthier... lol - 5/5/2012   11:59:02 AM

My family just had 'make your own soft taco bar' last Sunday. Options were mayacoba (yellow) beans, grilled onions, mushrooms and peppers, soyrizo, avocado, salsa, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. We also had queso fresco, a salty skim milk Mexican cheese - a little goes a long way. So good...and healthy. A winner of a dinner for all!
I'm looking forward to trying Chef Meg's Grilled Perch with Citrus Salsa, Cilantro Sauce and Salsa Verde. Thanks! - 5/4/2012   7:06:53 PM

BONNIEBONNEAU How is a compilation of favorite recipes misinformation. If you don't like Mexican food. Don't eat it. Nobody twisted your arm to read this blog. I personally welcome healthier versions of food I enjoy. I'd ask you who P****** in your Cheerios today but I bet you don't eat those either. - 5/4/2012   4:53:46 PM

i am so tired of Americans catering to the mexican culture, and this "book "is another example of this. The goal of this is not to promote healthy eating. There have been many studies that have been published , that confirm , the best diet to follow is the Mediterranean one. I am very unhappy to see SP following like a blind mouse, to the sound of common misinformation , like all the rest of the junk cook books out there. I expect a higher standard from SP. - 5/4/2012   3:06:06 PM

Everything is going to be home-made so I can control the salt! Turkey tacos, home-made salsa, home-made guacamole. And I'm going to make a "skinny" margarita too. For me, it's not Cinco de Mayo without the maragaritas :) - 5/4/2012   2:21:06 PM

I do not celebrate Cinco De Mayo however I do love Mexican Food! I do not make it much though. Basically just plain ol tacos is what I make. I am hoping to make though some salsa this summer and can away for the rest of the year. I am also going to make the guacamole and cowboy caviar sometime. :) They both sound yummy! - 5/4/2012   1:45:21 PM

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!
I enjoy my friend Ned's fabulous guacamole. It's easy - 4 very ripe avocados, 1/4 red onion finely chopped, 4-5 large garlic cloves also finely chopped and the juice of 1/2 lime. Salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a tiny bit of tabasco. Yummy! - 5/4/2012   12:46:38 PM

Mexican food has always been one of my favorites. My make over includes baking mission thin tortilla chips, 80 calories for two. I have a taco salad most days for lunch. I just wish there wasn't so many carbs in beans. :) - 5/4/2012   11:55:02 AM

I agree with what others have said. Keep it authentic, and you should be fine in regards to calorie and fat content. I admittedly like some of the Americanized takes with tons of cheese, but those definitely aren't what Dad used to make. - 5/4/2012   10:28:17 AM

Exercise is a great mood lifter! - 5/4/2012   8:50:11 AM

Our office is having a pot luck today. I'm not sure what healthy food I'll find, but I'm bringing cinnamon sugar tortilla chips with a fruit "salsa" - basically just fruit: strawberries, blackberries, kiwi, pineapple with a lime juice, lime zest and touch of honey "sauce". It's a delicious snack! - 5/4/2012   8:16:33 AM

5 de mayo is a day like any other, I don't understand why american people celebrate this day. - 5/4/2012   7:13:03 AM

I made "healthier" tacos tonight, using ground turkey...mmmm...tasty! - 5/3/2012   9:27:05 PM

I plan to try at least a couple of these.. YUM!
- 5/3/2012   7:52:47 PM

So many to choose from! How will we ever decide? - 5/3/2012   7:37:12 PM

everything looks delicious which do I pick first to try.. - 5/3/2012   6:56:26 PM

Awesome ideas, I will definitely be trying some of them :) - 5/3/2012   4:46:33 PM

Authentic Mexican food is pretty healthy as is because it doesn't have mountains of melted cheese like is typically found in these dishes in the US. I do enjoy Mexican food and there isn't much of need to make it skinny as it already is quite healthy. - 5/3/2012   2:42:52 PM
