Plain Pasta
Real old fashioned homemade pasta. The salt, baking powder and butter are optional. Also, try substituting 1/2 cup milk or 3 beaten eggs for the warm water.
Crab Ceviche
This crab ceviche has always been a crowd-pleaser in my home. This is wonderful as an appetizer with tortilla chips or served on tostadas with a thin layer of mayonnaise for a nice, refreshing lunch. Be sure to refrigerate the ceviche before serving, as it tastes best when very cold.
Pickled Garlic
These pickled garlic cloves take a long time, but they're easy to make and are a real treat.
