Now that we’ve switched into spring, there are a few holidays coming down the pipe. First was Passover and Easter, then there’s Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. After that, we’re into June, the end of school and then it’s straight onto summer. With so many holidays and events on the calendar, it’s… Continue reading Tortilla Pie

Hibiscus Sangria
Since Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo I wanted to post a classic cocktail that would be perfect for the Mexican holiday. No, it’s not the margarita. Don’t get me wrong, blended or on the rocks, the margarita is the first cocktail I think of when May 5th rolls around. But it’s not the only option.… Continue reading Hibiscus Sangria
Bacon and Egg Tortilla Soup
Cinco de Mayo is one week from today. Can you believe it? One week! So, of course I wanted to bring you a Mexican dish to serve on this holiday that, these days, seems to be all about the Margarita. You could easily go with tacos or burritos, or make it really simple and just… Continue reading Bacon and Egg Tortilla Soup

Rarely do you find a cocktail at these parties. But there’s no rule that says you only… Continue reading Michelada
Ponche Navideno (Mexican Christmas Fruit Punch)
A couple months ago I was lucky enough to attend an event at Melissa’s with Yvette Marquez-Sharpnack and Vianney Rodriguez focusing on their awesome new cocktail book, Latin Twist. Not only did I learn what constitutes a Latin cocktail (they hail from several different Latin countries), I got to sample a few as well. The… Continue reading Ponche Navideno (Mexican Christmas Fruit Punch)
Easy Enchilada Bake
I hate to admit it, but sometimes there are days when I just don’t want to cook. You know the days I’m talking about: the ones where you’re running around like a chicken with your head cut off and you still aren’t able to get everything done on your “to do” list. These are the… Continue reading Easy Enchilada Bake
