Hello & Welcome to Sweet Life’s little corner of the World!

Who is Sweet Life?

Sweet Life also known as Vianney

I’m a proud Texan and blessed to be Hispanic. Currently, I am happily raising my two wonderful daughters, attending college and living life to the fullest with my handsome hubby in Edinburg, Texas.

Born and raised in Texas, I have happily moved throughout Texas with my hubby as he proudly served in the United States Army. He is currently completely his Master’s Degree at UTPA in Edinburg, Texas. After graduation, we will move back home to our permanent residence in Aransas Pass, Texas.

Food is a daily part of our lives, so why not celebrate our meals? Why not enjoy our time together in the kitchen, dine with family and friends all while learning how to create great meals.

Here, at Sweet Life, we focus on our eternal love for Texas, but include our passion for introducing our daughters to their heritage. So on any given day, you can find Texas recipes or a wonderful recipe from Mexico. Do we love Tex-Mex? Oh yes, and we take pleasure in providing you great Tex-Mex fusion recipes also.

Warning: I’m addicted to Margaritas made with fresh bold flavors!! Perfect for your future Fiestas!!

I found your blog while searching for Margarita recipes. I also love margaritas. I have volunteered at Holt Family Birth Center in Weslaco as a midwife twice for 3 months at a time and so am very familiar with the area where you live. My aunt also lives in the RGV – a snowbird who converted to a resident. I am looking forward to trying the recipes you post although believe it or not, it is hard to find ingredients for Mexican food here in Costa Rica. I am also a big fam of Rick Bayless and Laylita. Now I am going to make a pineapple margarita before i start making my banana bread.

Okay, I just saw YOUR watermelon margarita. It looks great, but I would love to talk you into trying a frozen version…. say, mid July when Texas is on fire.

Hello there,
Just stumbled across your blog and it’s just great! I’m a fellow Texan and share your love of Margaritas! Last summer, I discovered my absolute favorite… watermelon! So perfectly refreshing and easy. Gosh, I want one right now.
