This Fourth of July we are heading to the beach to celebrate in style.  We plan to grill, chill and feast with family and friends. Of course we need a fabulous cocktail to sip the day away and with the temperature reaching high into the 90’s I cannot think of anything more refreshing than a mojito to keep us cool.

This vibrant red sparkling strawberry mojito is made with fresh strawberries, a splash of Captain Morgan’s Coconut rum and plenty of fresh mint, but since we are celebrating I thought why not add a bit of sparkle to our mojito with champagne, after all champagne and fireworks go hand in hand.  Happy 4th!

  • Guys! I’ve teamed up with @tillamook to share with you a twist on the beloved street snack the Tlayuda from Mexico – 
These babies can be made in a snap by using store-bought corn tortillas and plenty of delicious #tillamookcheese 
Add shredded roasted chicken, refried beans, salsa, sliced onions, diced tomatoes, cilantro and plenty of Tillamook Farmstyle Cut Shredded Mexican 4 Cheese. Once assembled they go back into the oven until all that glorious cheese melts. 
Check out my Instagram stories for a step-by-step on how easy they are to make and find the full recipe here: >>> https://sweetlifebake.com/2018/10/23/tlayuda-de-pollo/

  • Today I honor my abuelito for Dia de Los Muertos, Day of the Dead with a #marigold infused tequila I know he would have enjoyed after a long day. Dia de los Muertos is a cheerful, joyful celebration where we take time to remember our dead, honor them and celebrate their lives.

Infused with dried marigolds, #cempasuchil is the traditional flower used to celebrate #DiadeLosMuertos  An important Day of the Dead symbol these flowers symbolize death, referred to as the flower of the dead they are placed on the altar, the grave and their petals are sprinkled on the floor to lead the dead to their grave. It is believed that marigolds guide the spirit of the dead to their altars using their vibrant color and fragrance.

This infusion takes seven days, but after the second day the tequila takes on a beautifully golden color. I added a cinnamon sticks to the infusion to add a depth of warmth and sweetness. You can purchase organic dried marigolds online or local nursery.

  • If there’s any recipe that embodies traditional Mexican flavors, grilled street corn is it!

Today I’m adding my own personal twist to revamp this beloved classic a delicious casserole that is perfect for pot-lucks, entertaining and weeknight meals. 
Juicy corn, tender zucchini are combined with fresh lime juice, @knorr bouillon, sour cream and @hellmannsmayonnaise , baked until bubbly and topped with fresh cilantro, cotija cheese and ancho chile powder. 
The addition of zucchini to this dish gives the casserole a burst of fall goodness and pairs perfectly with the juicy corn kernels. No need to fire up the grill for this recipe, frozen or canned corn work beautifully in this dish.

  • Beans are a staple in the Tex-Mex cuisine and they are honestly more bean dishes than you can count.  From refried beans, to bean tacos, to charro beans.  Here in Texas, we love every variety! 🙌

And borracho beans is an especially delicious bean dish, made with a rich beer broth  and 🍻 and simmered for hours with onions, tomatoes, jalapeños and delicious, crispy bacon.  The aroma is heavenly and the flavor is distinct.  I guarantee, if you try borracho beans, you will love them! 💖

Borracho literally translates to “drunk,” but don’t worry, these beans won’t leave you tipsy at the end of the night.  During the cooking process, the alcohol is evaporated, leaving behind a bold, rich, flavorful broth that you’ll crave long after they’re gone. 🍻

  • I’ve taking all the flavor of the beloved Mexican elote and transformed them into a delicious casserole that is perfect for pot-lucks, entertaining and weeknight meals.

Juicy corn, tender zucchini are combined with fresh lime juice, Knorr bouillon, sour cream and Hellmann’s®, baked until bubbly and topped with fresh cilantro, cotija cheese and ancho chile powder.

The addition of zucchini to this dish gives the casserole a burst of fall goodness and pairs perfectly with the juicy corn kernels. No need to fire up the grill for this recipe, frozen or canned corn work beautifully in this dish.
