Coctel de Camarones (Mexican Shrimp Cocktail)
Ummm…I hate moving. I know you’ve been dying to know that. At last count, I have moved 17 times. This next move will be my 18th- and hopefully last- move. I’m ’bout fed up to here with the whole process (I’m gesturing to my throat). Once again, I’m trying to rid myself of excess groceries,…
Fried Brussels Sprouts with Gochujang Mayo Dip
Well, my friend! It’s officially official! I’m married to a retiree! That doesn’t make me old, though. Héctor maybe. But me? Hell-to-the-nah. Even though, I had to take the entire week that followed off because I was spent- that still doesn’t make me old. These Fried Brussels Sprouts with Gochujang-Mayo Dip did get a few…
Tostones (Twice-Fried Green Plantains)
All of us, at some point in our lives, have been lied to. This is a given fact. As a wife, I’ve told my fair share of tall-tales; “No, Hector, those shoes aren’t new. I’ve had them for years!” Moms lie as well, “Sorry, but the restaurant with the games and the oversized rodent has…

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…
Larb Moo: Laotian Sour Minced Pork Salad
I’m writing this post from the waiting room of a hospital’s surgery ward. The Soldier is beginning the process of repairing more than twenty-five years of beating up his body. I’m a pessimist by nature. Writing helps me keep my mind off of the variables associated with surgery of any kind. This Larb Moo is also helping me…
Father’s Day Meal Plan: A Roundup for Your Favorite Dad
Fathers are an important part of one’s life. A good father’s a blessing. Bad fathers? Well, they teach us lessons. This guy is the former. I couldn’t have made a better father for my twins than the one God gave them in Hector. So! Today, I’m going to pass along this great roundup of recipes…

Happy Mother’s Day! Well, Happy *almost* Mother’s Day! If you’re anything like me, you’ll still end up doing a load of laundry or breaking up battling offspring.
