Margarita Salsa

好吃大家一起吃

A zingy recipe I found sleeping in my little red book. This Mexican dip is all time favourite at parties and church events. I love doing it as no cooking is needed though a little intricately flavoured by spices and a cocktail mix. Overall...chop...chop...chop...mix...mix..mix! Skip the cocktail mix if you prefer a non-piquant salsa.

Fingerfoods 2: Buttermilk Cheezy Beefy Dip 墨西哥奶酪卤

你在吃什么?

什么都要吃

When I had to serve an appetizer to 50 guests, I came up with this idea of combining a mexican cheese dip with my fave panfried minced beef . Cognac is often used in my Dad's cooking to replace chinese cooking wine. Coriander powder, cumin n chilli powder r widely used here as well. Served it w crunching nachos n u wouldn't want other dips.

Fingerfoods 1: Honey Rum Ham 蜂蜜酒火腿

什么都要吃

As we r big fans of ham steak,n I usually would not like any sweet sauce on my main course plate.. so I like serving honey ham as an appetizer with an alcoholic pineapple sauce n top it w a slice of swiss cheese. My 2 teens still enjoy popping d bite size ham into their mouth in one go.
