Mexican Botana Platter
At the very tip of Texas, this Mexican botana platter recipe with beef and chicken fajitas, beans, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream has always been an all-in-one hit at restaurants or any get-together! Serve it with Spanish rice and fresh, warm flour tortillas! You can also use grilled shrimp or sausage as your meat and save time by using tortilla chips in the bag, but the taste won't be authentic.
Old-Fashioned Fudge
This fudge with corn syrup recipe is for the "good fudge." The one without nuts or creams. This fudge doesn't use any shortcuts either, so use a candy thermometer for best results.
Rhode Island Clam Chowder
This is classic Rhode Island clam chowder. Only here, we usually use quahogs when making it. This recipe can be substituted either way and turns out great for the clam lover. This is a clear soup. This soup should taste slightly spicy, so adjust the flavor to your heat preference.
