Wet Tacos
I have a niece who is the cutest mini me version of her dad. All my nieces and nephews are adorable, but this is her story. Getting back to the story, my niece Naty is alot like me- we both like what we like and no one is going to persuade us otherwise. When Naty was about two she was introduced to soft tacos filled with various fillings, her mom makes ground beef, momo makes them simply with cheese or potatoes, and I make them with chicken. Well Naty became infatuted with these taco and she begin referring to them as “wet tacos”, as in her eyes they were slightly soggy from being passed through… Read More
Christmas Eggnog Bread
Do you remember when you were little during the holiday season- the house had a different vibe to it. My house was always full of energy, excitement and wonderful smells. The smell of tamales, pan de polvo, and hot chocolate. I used to get so excited when Christmas rolled around and momo was always in the kitchen working on something, making something or trying out something new. She always tried to make the holidays special for us and I think that’s where we get our inspiration from each year. I ran across this recipe and quickly knew it would be a hit,… Read More
Christmas Cuteness
I recently went to Kmart to look for a set of glass ornaments, and I found these cute ornaments from Martha Stewart. Leave it to Martha to make something we use on a daily basis, look so darn cute. My favorite is the whisk, oh man too cute. These are from her Festive Confections line at Kmart. I of course bought them all and put them on a little tree in my kitchen. Love it!! Have a nice day!!

Magic Cookie Bars
That was the burning question of the day, should I pack or bake some bars I’ve been yearning for??? Did I mention that I’m moving??? Yes, I am moving- more on that in a later post. I have moved several times and the process is always the same. I pack my cookbooks first, but my kitchen last- I continue to cook while the packing process is in full swing trying to empty the freezer. I had 8 boxes of cookbooks alone, which kinda took me by surprise- I thought I had more??? After I marked my cookbook boxes FRAGILE, I began weeding through the girl’s room and quickly realized their… Read More
Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting
When Papi (my dad) goes to the store to buy groceries there is always the same items in his basket, he can’t help it my mom has gone to spend time with my little sis in Kansas and my little brother in California. So he is kinda winging it, since it is the first time he has really been alone, without mom spoiling him with her awesome cooking. So he takes off early in the morning to the store, he doesn’t like to shop in the crowds.
