Pickled Red Onions I love pickled onions! These onions make everything from tacos to nachos to tostadas even more delicious. I make them at least once a week and recently enjoyed them with slow cooked pork, pictured below – cochinita pibil. One of the earliest recipes I tried from Cooking Light, these onions are a staple in my kitchen. I suggest you make a double batch, store them in the fridge and enjoy them all week. Try them in a grilled cheese sandwich, yum! Verizon was kind enough to send me a tablet to play with in the kitchen…. Read More
Dia de Los Muertos – Marigold Margarita
Marigold Margarita Tequila infused with marigolds is at the base of this floral margarita. I made the marigold infused tequila in honor of my abuelito for Dia de Los Muertos. With a splash of fresh citrus juice, served chilled this margarita is a flowery delight. Many of my margaritas are made by the pitcher or served on the rocks (over ice), but this margarita is best served with no ice. Ice dilutes the floral flavor, which really makes this margarita. Shake well in a cocktail shaker and strain in a chilled glass, rimmed with salt.
Slow Cooker Posole
Slow Cooker Posole A hearty Mexican soup posole (pozole) can be made with chicken or pork. A wonderful fall or winter treat posole is a family favorite during the Holiday season and was one of my biggest cravings when I was pregnant with my second child. I craved it so much that often had my mami come visit me in Killeen, where my husband was stationed at Fort Hood to make it for me. It seems no matter how many times I attempted to make posole it never tasted quite as good as hers. Mami said the intense… Read More
Homesick Texan’s Caballero Cookies – Byte of Texas
Caballero Cookies I met Lisa Fain from Homesick Texan y’all! I was fortunate to attend the first-ever conference, Byte of Texas hosted by Austin Food Blogger Alliance in Austin, Texas. The two-day conference was held in the Bullock Texas State History museum focused on sharing the love of food by preserving and cultivating the food culture of Texas. Local and National talent lead panels where they shared their passion or food, share their stories, offered tips and inspiration in food culture, seo, finding you voice, the business of blogging and how-to improve your photography. I sat in on a few… Read More
Dia de Los Muertos – Marigold Infused Tequila
Dia de Los Muertos – Infused Marigold Tequila I like to think that if my abuelito still lived today we would make quite the pair. A quiet, reserved man with a cheerful sparkle in his eyes enjoyed a good stiff drink after a long day at work. Papi, my dad adored him. It was sweet to see him become excited as we drove up for a visit, my abuelito would open the gate and papi would drive in and jump out of the car to greet him. A giant hug, a few laughs both with a cheerful sparkle in their… Read More
Creamy Pumpkin Cheese Sauce
Creamy Pumpkin Cheese Sauce My kids love pasta and I enjoy the simplicity of combining a few quality ingredients to create dinner in a flash. When HEB reached out and asked me to create a recipe using their primo picks I was excited to see pasta and pumpkin. Tis the season for dreamy, creamy pumpkin! This easy to make creamy pumpkin cheese sauce is a fall inspired spin on the traditional mac and cheese. Using pumpkin soup laced with parmesan this sauce adds richness and a sprinkle of pepitas provide a crunchy bite. This is great midweek meal when all… Read More
Easy Enfrijoladas
Easy Enfrijoladas I can always count on my beloved beans to wrap me in comfort on a hectic day. Frijoles de Olla are a staple in my weekly menu. With eggs for breakfast, smashed into a quesadilla or simply with a few avocado slices and a slice of queso beans are so versatile. Last week I spent endless hours editing, on the phone or emailing with my co-author Yvette putting the finishing touches on our cocktail manuscript before we submitted it for review to our publishers. My weekly pot of frijoles was put on the back burner, bummer and all… Read More
