To compliment our 16 Spice Chicken w/Cilantro Cream, I also made a simple black bean & sweet corn salad and mashed maple sweet potatoes. It was a fabulous dinner which brought back memories of my meal at Mesa Grill, only it was even better to have shared it with my husband.

I love learning about different chefs for what they have contributed to the culinary world. In honor of the many chefs who have shaped our culture and our palates., I host monthly “Chef Spotlight Dinners”. In these “Chef Spotlight Dinners” a specific chef is highlighted where attendees prepare a recipe created by the chef and bring it to share potluck style. During the event, we discuss our thoughts on the chef, their cooking style/cuisine and the recipes prepared.
In honor of Taste of Chicago happening later this month, my friends and I came together to create dishes of local chefs who put Chicago on the culinary map. Some of our very own Chicago chefs include: Rick Bayless, Charlie Trotter and Gale Gand. Naturally, our dinner table was full of many of their signature recipes:
Ensalada de Nopalitos (Cactus Salad)
