Carrot Cucumber Margarita

 

We’re making the Easter bunny jealous today with a refreshing carrot cucumber margarita!

After a busy day of preparing the days festivities the adults will definitely need a refreshing margarita to help us wind down.  From the food, decorations, egg hunt, games, candy and the messy clean up the party most likely will stretch into the evening.  Lucky us.

 

 

 

 

I plan on unwinding with one of these gems.  Don’t you just love the intense orange?  It screams Spring!

The taste on the other hand soothes the tired, weary feet from a long day of chasing kids and dodging confetti filled cascarones. Thank goodness for my friend tequila.  Enjoy!

    This drink is dangerous! While you’re winding down from the tequila, you’re thinking how health conscious you are for drinking all of that carrot and cucumber juice, SO…I might as well have another! 🙂 Great spring margarita!

  • These past few weeks have been a flurry of travel, cookbook  events, recipe development, writing and a last minute magazine photo session. Add to the list the never ending piles of laundry and lack of sleep this girl was stretched thin. 
I was SO bummed to realize I would be missing out on all the fun at this year's #hispz due to my over booked calender. Then @united  reached out and offered to whisk me away to #Miami - how could I say no? 
A quick moment to recharge the batteries with coffee, sending off a few pending emails and I'm off to enjoy all the amazingness that is @Hispancize - mil gracias to @united for the wonderful ticket service to a personal greeting on the plane. I can't wait to learn, be inspired and spend time with my fellow #talentedlatinos 
Join in on the fun by following along #UnitedJourney #UnitedatHispanicize #hispz 
AND be sure to tune in for the #teclaawards to catch a glimpse of this #tejana (How exciting!)
  • Happy Saturday mis #cocktaillovers - I'm heading to the @strawberryfestx  today to PICK/EAT/BUY ALL the 🍓 the berries to whip up this delicious 🍓 margarita. 🍓 ¡Salud! to a Saturday!

  • Beef shanks are one of my go-to cuts of meats when braising. They are rich, juicy and flavorful and the perfect cut of meat for slow cooking. ❤ ❤ My mami always had beef shanks in her freezer to make caldo de rez, so I grew up enjoying them and now cook them often for my familia. 🔥Today I'm sharing  braised my beef shanks in a bright salsa verde. Tomatillos have an addicting acidic tang which pairs perfectly with the rich, beefy flavor from the beef shanks. ❤ This recipe is part of a special evening in collaboration with @rumbameats and @neighborstable -- can't wait to share more. ❤
