Belizean Chicken Stew
I learned how to make this chicken stew when I dated a Belizean man for about a year. He is long gone, but I still make his stew, and I love it! This is a very healthy dish, but the limes and the hot sauce make it very flavorful. Serve with corn or flour tortillas. Each person may want to spice it up with more hot sauce as they prefer.
Pineapple Pork Chops
Serve these pineapple pork chops alongside white rice with some of the sweet sauce ladled over top.
Chocolate Pudding Shots
Chocolate pudding shots are an awesome alternative to Jell-O shots. Serve them in individual serving cups with plastic spoons.
