Charcuterie with a south of the border twist? I’m your girl. I want to show you how easy a Mexican-Inspired Charcuterie Board is to assemble. Think of the highlights of Mexican meats, cheeses, and munchies (or antojitos) all on a grazable board. I’m partnering with Water Grows to bring you this epic fiesta-esque board. More…

Bacalaitos (Puerto Rican Salted Codfish Fritters)
Take an edible walk down the beaches of la Isla del Encanto (the Isle of Enchantment), AKA Puerto Rico. These bacalaitos are classic Puerto Rican street food found at many kiosks that dot the island’s beachsides. They’re easy to make and addictive enough to keep you coming back for more, so be sure to make the full recipe. Follow…
Curry Sriracha Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Nothing is more gratifying than a stack of wings being doused in hot sauce. Nothing, that is, unless they’re Curry Sriracha Air Fryer Chicken Wings smothered in even more curry sriracha sauce. Let’s pause for a second and enjoy this image. I’ve pumped these wings so full of island flavor. Using a Jamaican curry spice rub and…
Rellenos de Papa (Picadillo-Stuffed Potato Fritters)
Is it a potato or a snack? It’s both! My Rellenos de Papa, also known as Papa Rellena, are an optical illusion. They look like a potato, but when you bite through their crisp exterior, a savory meat filling is there to greet you. Lately, I’ve been on this cuchifrito kick. It might be that I’ve…
Pinchos (Puerto Rican Grilled Pork Kebabs)
OOOP! Better watch out! Hector’s making his hand modeling-career debut! You don’t even know how excited I am to give you this recipe for Pinchos. If you have a day for marinating and a grill, this is going to be your next favorite recipe. Dozens of Hispanics (and people who live amongst them) can’t be…
Guacamole Dip: Chunky and Ready to Party
Guacamole is the king of Mexican meals. It sits on its throne of dishes most sought after. I’ve never had too much guacamole, but I’ve been annoyed when it’s run out. And it always runs out. The creamy, veggie-studded dip goes well with most proteins or simply scooped up with chips. What is Guacamole? The…
Pico de Gallo Recipe: Easy to Make
Pico de Gallo means “rooster’s beak”, but I have no idea what beaks have to do with this recipe. Maybe it’s because it looks like food a bird would peck at or has pecked over? Who knows? The colors of pico de gallo pay homage to the Mexican flag. So it makes sense that this…
Festive Charcuterie Grazing Board
Festive is the buzz word this time of year. Well, my friends Kuhlman Cellars– just down the road in Stonewall, TX- and I wanted to share a great way to celebrate the holidays. A Festive Charcuterie Grazing Board is painfully cute, easy to make, and impressive enough for even the most critical guest. The wine…
French Fries with Rosemary and Lemon Aioli
Aioli is quite similar to mayonnaise, but this version is heavy on garlic and lemon flavors. A dip for crisp and fluffy french fries, it’s a recipe you need to know.
