I love creating salads in the summertime, especially salads that have the ability to refresh you and cool you down. Jicama is a Sonoran Desert root that is fiber and water. It absorbs the flavors of almost anything else. It also adds a great crunch to otherwise...
I love coleslaw, and there are so many different ways to make it, though the dressing aspect remains the same, vinegar, a little sugar, and, in the modern version, mayonnaise. Reportedly the Romans ate it with eggs added to it, whether cooked or uncooked, it doesn't...

It takes guts to submit a video to a large and intimidating contest like The Next Food Network's Youtube Star. But I did. Here's the video, wish me...
