I’m on a mission to take over the internet with Coquito Recipes. So far, I’m doing a fantastic job of turning tons of regular-shmegular recipes into their best coquito versions, but I think I can do more. If you are a fan of the Puerto Rican cocktail, read on for my all-time favorite versions of…

Apple Pear Butter (Slow Cooker Recipe with Alternate Cooking Methods)
You won’t be surprised to find out that Apple Pear Butter is comprised mainly of apples and pears. What may shock you is that this fruit spread also contains a respectable amount of a secret ingredient. I could tell you now, but where’s the fun in that? I know, right? In addition to fresh fruit, this apple…
Apple Cinnamon Rolls with Apple Butter Glaze
Apple season means more to me than pumpkin spice season. There I said it. These Apple Cinnamon Rolls might even make you a convert. Not only is the bread dough filled with warm spices, but it also has a healthy dose of apple butter baked right in. Thinly sliced crisp apples get enveloped in a cinnamon-sugar filling…
Sesame Seed Milk (Horchata de Ajonjolí)
You’ve heard of the oat milk craze, I’m sure, but Sesame Seed Milk (Horchata de Ajonjolí) needs to be on your list of recipes to make. Pronounced or-CHA-tah day oh-hone-ho-LEE, this plant milk is nutty, creamy, and simple to make. Since this milk is basically a pantry recipe, you never need to worry about not having…
Coffee-Rubbed Smoked Beef Brisket
Forgive me if I geek out during this Coffee-Rubbed Smoked Brisket post. Not only is this succulent brisket straightforward and ambitious, but the coffee rub is also made with ingredients you already have in your pantry. That’s exciting, no? MY excitement comes from the fact that I love discussing anything that deals with butchery. It is probably the course…
Maple Bacon Cake Donuts with Real Bacon

I’m willing to bet if more people ate these Maple Bacon Cake Donuts for breakfast, the world wouldn’t be so hostile. If you’re looking for a new recipe to add to your busy morning routines, I invite…
Ponche Frozen Custard (Mantecado de Ponche)
Ponche Frozen Custard takes a childhood drink, or curse in my opinion, and turns it into a dessert you’ll be happy to eat. Think of it as an edible malted shake, and you have a general idea of what this classic recipe is all about. You wouldn’t know it by looking at me today, but…
Tres Leches Cake Donuts with Rainbow Sprinkles
Tres Leches cake is the stuff Hispanic dreams are made of. So I figured, why not top fluffy cake donuts with the same creamy, milky goodness and enjoy them for breakfast? Why not indeed, my friend. This Tres Leches Cake Donuts recipe is easy to make partly because you probably have everything you need to…
Easy Cake Donuts Recipe
No one loves to roll out of their warm bed to drive to the donut shop and grab breakfast. And, let’s be honest, getting out of bed, putting on “outside” clothes, and having to pay an arm and a leg for them makes them taste less good. So, benevolent being that I am, I’m handing over my…
Quiche Lorraine (Egg, Bacon, and Gruyere Tart)
Quiche Lorraine is one of my family’s favorite things to eat. I’m a fan because it’s simple to assemble and bake. Eggs, milk, cheese, and bacon baked in pie crust. What’s hard about that? My family loves it because it’s a versatile dish. They get away with eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If…
