These little big mac bites are perfectly rich and meaty and are served with a tangy dipping sauce. The cheese gets crispy around the edges and is reminiscent of the the best part of a grilled cheese or lasagna.

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.
Crunchy Eggplant Parmesan
This is a slightly different twist on the old standard eggplant Parmesan. By peeling and sweating the eggplant you eliminate the bitterness and the panko bread crumbs add a nice crunch to the crust. Freezes so well!
