Mexican Taco Meatloaf
This Mexican-inspired meatloaf with taco seasoning is a delicious comfort food dish. My Mexican grandmother would use leftover corn tortilla chips in our meatloaf, and everyone loved it! They all wanted seconds along with the recipe.
Adriel's Chinese Curry Chicken
My husband is Chinese and this chicken curry is one of our favorite dishes. My late father-in-law, who used to be a Chinese chef, said my version of this was better than his! Yellow curry paste can be found at an Asian market. You may have to add a little more or less curry paste, depending on your taste. I included a more moderate amount in this recipe. I suggest serving this over cooked jasmine rice. It has a little bit of heat, so probably do not serve to small children. Enjoy.
Melanzane alla Parmigiana (Eggplant Parmesan)
Melanzane alla parmigiana is a classic Italian dish from Sicily that's often simply referred to as "parmigiana" by Sicilian locals. The richness and depth of flavor you get from this authentic version is well worth the extra effort. Serve eggplant Parmesan with nothing more than crusty bread and a green salad.
