Hi, Friends!  I shared with you the pork carnitas recipe from my Mexican Buffet project at school.  Here are the home versions of the rest of the menu!  Click on the photos for the recipes I drew from!  They are in my Pinterest account.  You can follow me there!

Chicken Mole, my second entrée. My friend Kim helped me create this chicken mole recipe. We added Mexican chocolate and peanut butter. It was delicious!
Picture
This was my vegetarian option as an entrée, a baked sweet potato with a chipotle black bean and corn salad and a vinaigrette. Delicious!
Picture
Black beans with authentic queso fresco! Yum!
Picture
This is a Mexican White Rice with onions and cilantro. I used a Calrose sticky rice because it's my favorite.
Picture
One of my favorite things, ever! Sauteed jalapenos in butter and canola oil! These were to be served as an addition to the pork carnitas.
Picture
My churros (Spanish doughnut) and Mexican Dipping Sauce. These were a big hit at the buffet!
Here are photos from the actual buffet!

Yes, I picked out the sunflowers and vases. Chef bought them from me to use them again.! I love sunflowers!
Picture
I wanted red napkins and blue tablecloths with this napkin fold.
Picture
There's my molcajete I'm so proud of, and the salsa and quacamole were delicious! There are hot tortillas in those napkins!

The table runners I bought were wrapped around the vases instead of used as table runners.

Churros and Mexican Dipping Sauce - These were a huge hit!
I told you before, the best part of this project was my friends showing up for the buffet.  Some of them surprised me, and all of them were there to support me.  I love my friends!  There are pictures of my friends that Janise, my sister, took at their table.  I will try to get them and post them!
Here they are! Janise is like me, usually behind the camera!  I was so proud to have them all here!
J.C. and Jimmye!
Jan, who came from Chattanooga!
Becca, a nice surprise!
Karen, Wanda and Linda from RMS!
Lynette, a long time friend!
Renee, came from Rockmart!
Amanda, a big surprise!
Faynelle, another friend who took off work!
