This week’s recipes are all healthy Mexican inspired meals. We have a LOT of different spices and peppers in these recipes, and a few things to remember are:

1.) Almost all of the spices overlap, so you if you don’t have them for one recipe, you have a few other recipes that you will need to get them for this week. Dried/ground spices have a shelf life of about six months before they become stale and lose their flavor, so shop accordingly. If you have a hard time finding one in your regular grocery, Google the location of a nearby Mexican market.

2.) With spicy peppers, use the ones recommended in the recipes for the best flavor. However, if your spice tolerance doesn’t tolerate it, use some of the other peppers.

Happy cook'n!
