I love potatoes! I may have said that before but I will say that again. And though I am usually not a fan of eating breakfast, the weekends are usually an exception. This recipe combines two flavors I love: papas and chorizo (potatoes and chorizo). And if you […]
Cazuela de Huevos means “egg casserole” in Spanish. But this casserole is much more than just eggs. It has many of the flavors I love, which is why I noticed it in one of my favorite cookbooks, 1,000 Mexican Recipes by Marge Poore. On the weekend, we enjoy […]
I noticed that I had not shared the mini-blue cornmeal pancake recipe that paired so deliciously with the Green Chile Chutney I posted a few months ago. For that, I am sorry. They are good! This recipe also comes from The Santa Fe School of Cooking Cookbook by […]
This is an easy breakfast or brunch recipe that you can put in the oven while you take care of everything else. It is even easier if you have leftover rice. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature or your casserole will take longer to bake. We […]
For breakfast this morning, we had fluffy scrambled eggs with a slightly tart but sweet tomatillo sauce. Alongside, we had some refried black beans sprinkled with Manchego cheese and some fresh pineapple, papaya and banana tossed with lime juice. All of this while overlooking the bay. I thought […]
The weather we are having in our part of the world makes me feel like baking. Winter weather has arrived before it is welcome (at least for me). But a nice fire roaring in our fireplace and an oven baking usually helps make things better. What I like […]
This breakfast is so good you could serve it on your honeymoon or an anniversary. Just think breakfast in bed. And though the name of this dish includes the word “divorced,” it is a delicious marriage of the flavors of a Mexican breakfast! OK, enough with the marriage […]
This is almost a marriage of scrambled eggs and pico de gallo. If that sounds like a good match to you, give it a try! We usually have a breakfast with Mexican flavors on the weekend: some eggs, some beans, tortillas and OJ and/or coffee. And the flavors […]
If you like Greek food, you will like this recipe. If you are vegetarian or are trying to add more vegetables to your diet, you will like this recipe too. We have made this moussaka many times, and we always enjoy the combination of textures, flavors and its […]
I recently came across a cookbook that collected recipes from home cooks around the state of Zacatecas, a state right in the center of Mexico. The book, La Cocina Familiar en el Estado de Zacatecas, has a delicious variety of foods including this recipe from Ana Ma. Sánchez […]
If you want a hearty breakfast, this is it! No need for a “second breakfast.” This was a morning meal we would enjoy whenever we would visit my mom’s aunts and uncles at their ranchos (farms) in Baja California, Mexico. Northern Mexicans love their beef! Sometimes, my parents […]
I make enchiladas often because they are “comfort food,” especially in the winter. But they are delicious year-round too. This recipe surprised me a bit: It has milk and egg in the sauce! I never would have thought of adding that to an enchilada sauce. So, of […]
Though I have heard it said many times, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” I usually don’t have it. I rarely feel hungry in the morning, so why eat? And when I do, I try to keep it simple. But for some reason, weekends are […]
The last time David and I went to California for Christmas, my sister, Susana, invited us over to her house for breakfast. It seems that most of the time our family gets together, food is involved. I’m fine with that. I am not sure how typical this is, […]
