This bar has the two crusts as requested, and has a strong tangy lemon taste, so much better than most of the lemon bar recipes out there due to the lemon curd and added coconut!

Picadillo
This is a wonderful Cuban picadillo recipe with ground beef and chorizo sausage. I serve it in a bowl (like chili), on a roll, or over cornbread.
Mexican Peach
One of my favorite drink recipes!
Apricot Salsa
This apricot salsa recipe was part of a recipe challenge that worked out quite well. Nice heat from the habanero and lovely sweetness from the apricots and pineapples.
