My Pineapple Jalapeño Margaritas pack a punch in the best way possible. Vibrant pineapple juice is paired with a spicy jalapeño simple syrup, which are shaken together with a high-quality tequila blanco. This cocktail is perfect for any fiesta you plan to serve it at. It comes together so easily, it should be considered dangerous….

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…
Elotes (Grilled Mexican Corn on the Cob) Street-Vendor Style
This post was originally shared two years ago, but I updated it with banging pictures and more eloquent writing and junk. Today our family received some pretty awesome news- mainly for the Soldier- but for all of us as a whole. Once we break it to our family, I’ll spill the frijoles to you. To…
Mardi Gras King Cake Filled with Fun
I was recently away on a work trip to California. Long story short: I loved it, I learned a lot, and now I’m pining for luxury. None of that matters, and the only luxury I’m getting is this Mardi Gras King Cake. It was inspired after seeing a guy lug a three foot box onto…
Meyer Lemon Curd Filling and Spread
This post is updated with new images because the old ones sucked. I’m just keeping it real with you. The growth has been real over here, my friend. In my growth I realize that all those pictures I used to take, which I thought were fly, are garbage. In two years, I’ll probably look back and think…
Buffalo Wing Platter with Blue Cheese Dip
I’m going to give it to you straight: the only reason I care about the big game is because it means food. Baseball is my favorite sport, followed very closely by soccer. Football is a sport I don’t think I’ll ever understand, nor do I care to. Food, though? Food is something I care a great…
Roasted Poblano Queso Dip- Big Game Friendly!
So, I just finished doing my taxes. I’m really struggling with being fiscally responsible, Friend. That damned refund is so small!! I know, I know, “Dave Ramsey says no refunds means you didn’t give the government an interest-free loan- that’s good!” BUT I WANTED TO BLOW IT ALL ON SHOES, FRIEND!!! I’ll get over it….
Bacon-Bourbon Jam Charcuterie Boards
This Bacon-Bourbon Jam recipe is a sponsored post brought to you by CuttingBoard.com. They provided products in exchange for my review, but as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own- especially the obnoxious ones. I am the self-dubbed, and not world-renowned, Queen of Charcuterie Boards. With the holidays fast approaching, I teamed up with my buddies…
Paloma a Fuego (Spicy Grapefruit and Tequila Cocktail)
Paloma a Fuego literally translates to “Dove Afire”. Now, before you go calling PETA, no doves were harmed in the making of this libation. No doves even came close to this drink. I’m afraid of doves, actually. Paloma cocktails are a gift from our Mexican friends and are perfect for the hot weather ahead. Unless…
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…
