You know, the ones with the avocado ranch sauce. The most delicious item on the Taco Bell menu. Somehow, this great oversight has gone unnoticed by anyone..."

"Really healthy recipe that tastes like it isn't!!! This is actually a variation of someone else's on this site.

"Paella is the national dish of Spain, and each region has its own specialty. While in college I spent a semester in Toledo, Spain, and learned to cook paella with my host mother.

"This dish reflects the country's native Spanish and Japanese food traditions.It is a cross-cultural collaboration of a Brazilian rice recipe and a Peruvian chicken classic, but the fusion doesn't end there.

"This recipe makes a very rich risotto. It was designed around the use of Midas Touch, a Dogfish Head beer made from a mix of fermented barley, Muscat grapes and honey, then spiced with saffron.
