  • 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. ❤
