Cookbook Club – Tasting History After many months of missing Cookbook Club because well, life happens and schedules get busy, I was ecstatic to make it to the October event! We used Max Miller’s Tasting History, which he started as a YouTube channel – sharing historical recipes from around the world so successfully that he…

Taco Salad
With the warm weather, I was craving a salad that was hearty enough to be a meal all on its own. I had some tortilla chips and salsa I wanted to use up, and that inspired the idea to make a Taco Salad. After tasting the salad, my boyfriend – who previously swore he hated…
Horchata
An ice cold horchata on a hot day is so refreshing! But it’s not available everywhere, so why not make it myself? I started asking my Mexican friends (thank goodness I live in California!), and found that there are many variations in ratios, types of milk, sugar vs sweetened condensed milk, etc. and every family…
Taco Pasta
Cookbook Club – Guerrilla Tacos For August’s Cookbook Club we used Guerrilla Tacos, a compilation of the recipes LA local Wes Avila created for his very popular taco truck of the same name. To get a taste of all the tacos, go to my Cookbook Club site. For now – my dish! I know, I…
Pantry Chilaquiles
Whether for breakfast or dinner, these chilaquiles are great because they are made from items I’ve almost always got in my pantry and fridge (except for maybe avocados, which are an optional topping). You can use store-bought tortilla chips, or use an air fryer to make your own. Guessipe 28 oz can diced tomatoes 2…
Air-Fried Tortilla Chips
I’ve been experimenting with the air fryer, and while I wouldn’t agree with my boyfriend that it can be used to cook everything, I have found that for some things it’s pretty great. One of those things is making tortilla chips if you just need a single portion. This Guessipe gives you a foundation on…
Guacamole
It’s football season… and that means snacks! Chips and guacamole are always a popular part of the snack lineup. This guacamole is easy to whip up and ever a fan favorite. Guessipe 1/2 small red onion 2 avocados 1 lime garlic salt and pepper to taste Mince the red onion and place in a bowl….
Sweet Cream Biscuits
Cookbook Club – Eat Mexico In July, we used Lesley Tellez’s Eat Mexico for our Cookbook Club. I was really happy we were trying a type of cuisine our club hadn’t cooked yet. The book highlights dishes from Mexico City’s street stands, markets, and casual restaurants. You can see our full Mexico City food journey…
Broken Spanish Restaurant Review
Gold Dig #68 Broken Spanish is one of the Mexican restaurants on Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants list. The wide rectangular space has a glass front wall and large bar in the center. It feels mostly modern, but has some rustic touches like a side wall hung with family photos and shelves full of clay…
Salazar Restaurant Review
Gold Dig #57 I think Salazar might be the only spot on Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants list that he specifically notes for its website, which might seem odd until you check it out for yourself. I won’t even try to describe it, as it’s best if you just experience the awesomeness yourself. My first…
Eat-Olympics 2018
This year was the 2018 Winter Olympics. The Olympics is a competition all about bringing people from around the world together. And what better way to bring people together and celebrate diverse cultures than through the window of food? So we had a party to watch the opening ceremony, and everyone brought food from a…
Mexican Casserole
This is my mom’s Mexican Casserole recipe. It has nacho cheese Doritos in it, so naturally I adored it when I was a kid. Actually, I still adore it now! It is cheesy, crispy, meaty goodness. You can dress it up with sides, but honestly it’s good enough to eat plain. Guessipe 20 oz cheddar…
