Family Dinner With Mexican Cuisine

Last night was our weekly family dinner night! Hosting a family dinner has been a little challenging as my husband has started a gluten-free diet and my older son is vegan. Then there’s the challenge of making something my grand-kids enjoy too!  After some thought I decided that Mexican cuisine would be the perfect solution!

My menu was:

  • Chips and salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Bean Tostadas
  • Enchiladas
  • Mexican rice

I used corn tostadas which have no wheat.  My son can eat everything without cheese. For dessert, I served everyone’s favorite – ice cream! After dinner we played some board games. What a perfect way to celebrate the end of the week!

    Dear Manjula,
    I am a young Italian woman who likes to cook. Every recipe I’ve tried on your site so far was very good. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the world, I will try to find tasty Italian vegetarian recipes with no garlic or onions (this is the hard part, we love them!) to repay you a little. There is one called “farinata” which is a sort of chickpea soft focaccia/omelette, it’s excellent but you need a special pan to bake it, and you also need good quality olive oil otherwise it won’t be nearly as good. But I’ll see if I can make it on a pizza tray or similar.
    Blessings to you and your family, I bet they enjoyed this Mexican dinner very much!

    dearest manjula: this mexican dinner came as a shock to me! i thought you had gone bonkers! then i read on…looks delish! by the way, december marks fifty years vegan for me. so i feel for you. i have been cooking with you and your videos/recipes for quite some time. generally, the recipes are completely vegan; at times the desserts are dairy, so i cannot use them. i actually substiture milk ingredients with non dairy substitutes; for the eggs, i use flaxseeds.

    thanks for all the delicious pleasures you have provided everyone who visits your site or subscribes to the newsletter. good luck with the family.
