Buttermilk Chess Pie

This pie so amazingly fantastic, you will want it all the time. My friend Renee made us one and delivered it after the tornado. We could not decide what it was and we also couldn't stop eating. I finally asked and she was gracious enough to give me her recipe. This is not what comes up when you google so make sure you save this one!

Shrimp Ceviche Verde

Another grand slam! LOVED this one! So light and fresh. I feel like most of Rick's recipes are this way. And yes, it's mexican but doesn't feel like it at the same time. If you haven't bought his cookbook, MEXICAN EVERYDAY, you really need it.
