I am glad to say that I have not posted regularly for a while because I am working with some amazing kids that keep me busy. As a middle school teacher, life at work is a bit unpredictable. Add coaching soccer, even more. But I love it! Recently, […]
The end and beginning of a year provides a time to think back and look forward. We are already looking forward to gatherings with family in places like Utah, Minnesota and Door County in Wisconsin. But it is also nice to remember other places. This recipe is one […]
This is Mexican comfort food. I remember my Mom making a similar soup and I can tell you that this is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I loved the large, flavorful pieces of zucchini, carrot and corn, even when I was 5 years […]
Mad City* Vegan Fest was a lot of fun! Not only was Saturday a beautiful day in Madison, we had a chance to get some exercise (we biked over), nutrition (we ate some delicious food) and some rest as we relaxed in the summer sunshine. I had […]
When we first moved to Madison, we decided to buy a grill. And we bought a cookbook to go with it. We have since tried many of the recipes and a lot of them have become “favorites.” This is one of them. The recipe comes from the Weber’s […]
Yesterday, while reading the newspaper, I saw an article that caught my eye: “Vegetables can be the star at cookout.” Every Wednesday, both of the newspapers we have delivered to our home have a “food” section. This one comes from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It stood out to […]
When David and I lived in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the closest supermarkets to us was Whole Foods Market. I loved their great produce and the variety of ingredients I could find. But what I especially liked about going there is that Alton Brown would film scenes for […]
Public libraries are amazing! I love browsing through the stacks and taking home books, magazines, DVDs, etc. that we get to enjoy for a while and then return for others to continue the same process. This recipe is from a book I found on one of those browsing […]
I recently noticed that I have not posted a recipe for tostadas and I could not believe it. I LOVE tostadas! Along with enchiladas, they are one of my favorite foods. And they can take on so many flavors and toppings. They can be simple or complex. One […]
Whenever people ask me what my favorite food is, I find it hard to answer. There is so much out there that I love to eat! But I usually answer: “enchiladas.” I like enchiladas because they can change dramatically based on its ingredients. You have the basic sauce, […]
My father is from Michoacán and this is a soup from his home state and I guess mine as well, in some way. I remember him talking about fishing in one of the largest lakes in México: Pátzcuaro. I also remember him coming back from visiting family with […]
I am happy to say that I am back in México! We are enjoying some great weather, great views and, of course, great food. The first night my in-laws invited us to eat at a restaurant named Bogart’s, here in Ixtapa, in the state of Guerrero. As the […]
This is a recipe that we’ve made many times since it is delicious and easy and, in my opinion, looks pretty elegant. At least this is as elegant as I get. We’ve served this often for company because you can make the sauce ahead of time and have […]
My mom grew up in Baja California. And since we lived in Los Angeles, there were many opportunities to visit. I have many fond memories of Baja California: the ranchos that my mom’s family had east of Mexicali, La Rumorosa, and the beaches at San Felipe and Ensenada. […]
Salmon is not a typical ingredient in Mexican food and I don’t usually like to eat fish. But if there is one fish I like to eat, it is salmon. I came across this recipe in Marge Poore’s 1,000 Mexican Recipes cookbook and I knew that I wanted […]
