If this post is incoherent, it’s because I had to test too many of these Mangonadas Margaritas. You deserve only the best from me, you know. These spiced, frozen mango margaritas are my favorite drink to order whenever we go to a Mexican restaurant. You know why? Because the restaurants around here did all us…
Cinco de Mayo
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…
Chispa Margaritas: A San Antonio Native
I had chispa margaritas for the first time after we moved to San Antonio. Right after we’d settled here, we hit up a nearby Mexican joint called Mirasol, which is famous for their chispas. Because I’ve never had one, I decided to indulge in a couple. Somehow, those “a couple” turned into eleventytwenty…or, something like…
Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese
My Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese- with its five cheese sauce and smoky bacon- is guaranteed to provide comfort. This post is sponsored by my friends at Danish Creamery, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. This move has been one of the hardest in my life; I’m not being dramatic, either. In my…
Churros with Dessert Dipping Sauces
This post is sponsored by Danish Creamery, but all opinions are my own. Cinco de Mayo is a pretty festive time food-wise…at least for me. No, I’m not Mexican, but who doesn’t love Mexican food? And who says you have to be Mexican to appreciate the simplicity of churros? No one sane, that’s for sure….
Cajeta (Goat’s Milk Caramel Sauce)
This, my friend, is what we in the business call a “money shot”. If you have a Mexican friend in your life, and they haven’t introduced you to Cajeta, you need to have a hard talk with them. Anyone who would keep this secret from those they love is suspect. I’m just saying. As you can…
DIY Meat and Cheese Board
It’s almost time for football!! I almost said that like I care. To be quite honest, I can’t stand football. I’ve never been able to understand the game, no matter how hard I try. Meat and Cheese? Now, that, I understand. I’m the MVP of meat and cheese boards. Seriously! I have been known to put together…
