Carne Asada 

One of my all time favourite Mexican party foods is Carne Asada (bavette steak); with pico de gallo (zesty side salad) and arroz rojo (Mexican tomato rice) is my favourite way to serve it. It’s a really simple meal but it will have your taste buds tingly and be a delightful treat – a great way… Read More Carne Asada

Grandma Julie’s Banana Smoothie

One of my fondest memories from growing up is my grandma Julie’s banana smoothie. My grandma is basically obsessed with calcium and believes drinking calcium is the most important thing you can do for your body. I don’t disagree that calcium is good for you, but as a diva child who wanted to do her own thing, drinking milk… Read More Grandma Julie’s Banana Smoothie

Pan de Elote

I’m so excited to share the recipe for one of my favourite cakes with you! Back home we call this Pan de Elote. It is the perfect companion for your evening cup of tea. It’s super moist, moreish, and not too sweet. Perfect. It’s also  not very healthy, but I just ignore that part and… Read More Pan de Elote

Gluten Free Flour Tortillas

I still remember the first time I learned to make flour tortillas. My friend Amy’s grandma called us into her kitchen and told us we were going to help her make tortillas for dinner. We both had so much fun learning from Grandma Toni how to make the dough, watching the tortillas cook and sneaking… Read More Gluten Free Flour Tortillas

Easy Fajita Casserole 

There was a song that my brother and I used to sing when we were small and it went something like this, “Beans and rice and Jesus Christ, just with that I’m alright…” Pretty much my life moto! But if you add coriander (cilantro for my Americans), lime, peppers, and chicken, you have the most… Read More Easy Fajita Casserole

Poached Egg w/ Creamy mushroom spinach 

Weekends are my favourite, not just because I get to sleep in a bit, but because I also get to be a little more creative in the kitchen for breakfast. Most mornings I eat some yogurt and granola and run out the house, but not Fridays or Saturdays. These are the days I rest and find myself being refreshed… Read More Poached Egg w/ Creamy mushroom spinach

Sweetheart Cabbage Rolls

It’s been a little over a year and a half since Josh and I married. For our honeymoon we wanted to go some where fun, different, and exciting. We decided on Budapest because, well, George Ezra inspired us! Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe I’m just still in unbelief that time goes by so fast, or maybe… Read More Sweetheart Cabbage Rolls

Mexican Breakfast 

Huevos (eggs) a la Mexicana with a healthier version of refried beans is what Josh and I call Mexican breakfast. We have been having it almost every Saturday without fail since I moved to the UK and although it’s become “our Saturday tradition,” it’s too good not to share! Huevos a la Mexicana is a very… Read More Mexican Breakfast
