Mexican Hot Carrots
I'm from Southern California. You can not find a restaurant that does not have these hot Mexican carrots. Being on the East Coast now, I have had to come up with my own version to duplicate the hot carrots of home.
Chicken Asparagus Roll-Ups
Very flavorful chicken and asparagus dish with almost a hollandaise-inspired flavor with a little crunch from the Panko breadcrumbs. Quick and easy to prepare, the presentation is simple yet elegant. Great served with artichokes!
