Mmmmmexican cooking

I have started teaching myself Mexican cooking. Mexican food is not Taco Bell so get that idea out of your head right now. It's healthy and flavourful and easy to make! I made these two items for friends this week. Everyone had seconds:

Rice Cooker Mexican Rice: http://www.food.com/recipe/rice-cooker-mexican-rice-159900
Herbed Pumpkin Seed Mole: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Herbed-Pumpkin-Seed-Mole-365369

The only ingredient that will be hard to find is epazote. Don't even bother trying to find it fresh if you live in Canada. There's a great store called Manotas Organics in St. Lawrence Market that has all the Mexican herbs and spices: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Manotas-Organics-and-Fine-Foods-at-The-St-Lawrence-Market/171500949544252

...and here's everything you ever wanted to know about epazote. Try it on garlic bread. It is soooo good! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysphania_ambrosioides
