    Oh thanks so much for the wonderful recipes!! I definitely love eating traditional Mexican food, however I do feel like a lot of it is corn based, and not really very well rounded, as far as fresh fruits and vegetables are concerned. I love Mexican food, but I always have to balance it with a healthy portion of greens.
