Breakfast Huaraches
I’m serving hearty breakfast huaraches for a festive Easter brunch. Topped with refried beans, scrambled eggs, queso fresco and salsa huaraches are the ultimate brunch treat. Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum but all opinions are my own. Huaraches are flattened ovals of masa shaped to resemble the sole of a Huarache (Mexican sandal). Like sopes, huaraches can be made/served small as an appetizer of made large enough to resemble a pizza. Cooked on a comal they can be topped with anything your heart desires. Shredded chicken, picadillo, beans, cheese or sautéed mushroom and salsa. I’m excited to partner with Knorr®… Read More

How to make Lavendar Sugar
I try to make at least one edible gift each year for family and friends. My mami is a rockstar when it comes to gifting homemade edible gifts to her family and friends. Every year she gifts cookies, tamales and blackberry jam to her family and friends. Mine are a little different from my mami’s and usually involved infused tequila or infused vodka. Last year my little gal made homemade sugar scrubs and homemade lip gloss, while I made empanadas. Flavored sugars are easy to make at home and can be used in a multitude of ways. I like to sprinkle my flavored… Read More
