Isaac's Carrot Cake
A less-dense and wonderfully moist carrot cake with canned mandarin oranges rather than pineapple. A friend shared the recipe with me and I made it to celebrate the birth of my son (a birthday cake). It tastes best if you let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
Yummy Chicken Burritos
I used to beg my mom for these; now I make them for my son. Serve with beans, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and cheese.
Tipsy Fruit
While this fruit salad won't get you tipsy, it's so delicious you might not stop eating it! The recipe uses a variety of fruits in a light, margarita-inspired dressing that stays good for a couple of days when kept chilled. Mango or jicama can be added if you don't feel stuck to the original recipe.
