The main difference is the celery (which is one of the many vegetables I use to dislike… a … [Read more…]
I have already mentioned my trip to Cancun, and this is one more recipe I brought back from there. This one is from the “Healthy Bar” near one of the pools, where we used to have a healthy lunch, to get rid of the guilt from the heavy diners! I wasn’t sure about the … [Read more…]
