Halloween is spooky fun for the kids but, what about the parents? Shouldn’t we be rewarded for our efforts in helping our kids in their quest for the biggest load of candy? They want spooky. I want spicy! My fellow margarita lovers do I have a treat for you!! Spicy Watermelon Margaritas.
Quinoa Salad
Quinoa (keen-wa) was once called “the gold of the Incas,” or “mother grain.” The Inca tribe turned to this ancient grain to increase the stamina of their warriors and believed the grain to be sacred.

Weeks of working, family activities and living life to the fullest can leave us feeling a bit drained. So when I am in need of a boost I turn to Quinoa.
Apple Margarita
Last week we had exactly two days of Fall weather. Lows in the 60’s. I threw open every window in our tiny apartment, shut off the AC and soaked in every ounce of crisp air.

Did you know molleja can be ordered at many fine french restaurants thinly sliced sauteed in butter with mushrooms, or used as a filling for crepes drizzled with a rich lemon butter sauce. … Read More

Lightly fried corn tortillas dipped in a rich tomato sauce then filled with onion and queso fresco. Sounds yummy, no? Can you believe I detested this dish growing up? Yes, I hang my head in shame when plate after plate my kids quickly gobble them up. I’m sure if it was the raw onion that would throw my younger self for a loop or the fact… Read More
Chocolaty Pumpkin Bars
Hi guys! It’s Chuls, remember me? It’s October aren’t you excited? I can imagine all kids are pretty excited for Halloween. I mean who doesn’t love getting gobs and gobs of candy? Anyways, my mom suggests us kids try to eat healthy until the 31st. I guess it’s not really that bad, because I did make these great chocolate pumpkin bars. Yes, they have chocolate, but they also have whole wheat which makes them healthy. Oh yeah and they taste great. Mom’s happy, I’m happy, my sister’s happy and well my dad he’ll eat anything. Peace out.
