Welcome back food family! Ay Dios mío, I had been craving this dish for months! Tabasqueño Style Braised Pork isn’t just food—it’s a hug on a plate. Today, I finally gave in, marinated that pork shoulder overnight, and let it cook low and slow until the house smelled increíble. My husband walked in asking, “¿Qué estás cocinando, mujer?” with that hopeful look in his eyes. My sons? They lingered around the kitchen, smiling, clearly hoping I’d hand them a tortilla with a taste.

Welcome back food family! This pork loin stew is one of my favorite dishes, hands down!!! 🙌🏽 It’s the kind of recipe that makes you pause mid-stir just to inhale the aroma and think, “Ah, this is going to be good.” It’s similar to pozole (but not really) because it doesn’t have hominy, the sauce is thickened with flour, tortilla, or bolillo, and the tomatillos add a tangy brightness that makes the whole pot sing. And since it skips chile de árbol, it’s flavorful without be

Welcome back food family! Ay Dios mío… Thanksgiving is next week! 🦃🍂 And if this is the year you got assigned the veggies for la cena, don’t panic. Forget the sad, steamed brussels sprouts that make everyone roll their eyes. This dish is bold, sweet, smoky, and just a little boozy (like your tío after his second bourbon).🤫🥃 Brussels sprouts and butternut squash get dressed up with piloncillo syrup, bacon, pecans, cranberries, and yes—bourbon. It’s basically the glow-up yo

Welcome back food family! ¡Híjole, Thanksgiving otra vez! You know, that one day of the year when we all pretend we can eat just a little bit and end up rolling ourselves to the couch like tamales. Of course, the turkey is the star, but let’s be honest—stuffing is the sidekick that steals the show. And this year, I said, “¿Por qué no darle un poquito de sabor Mexicano?” So here it is: Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing . It’s smoky, spicy, buttery, and so good it might just make your

Welcome back food family! If you've ever had dumpling soup 🍜 you're going to love this recipe.

They are enjoyed in some traditional Oaxacan moles, in chicken stews in the central part of Mexico and with bl

Welcome back food family! Today I made this "antojito" for my family which brought me back to a beautiful part of my childhood in Mexico. As many of you know, I was born in Guadalajara. As a young child in GDL I remember an older gentleman, Don Chabelo, who sold the most delicious shrimp cocktails and tostadas de cueritos "pickled pork skin" out of a carrito "cart". As soon as he pulled up to the neighborhood and folks heard the little cart bell they'd start to form a line to

Welcome back food family! Today I made this delicious and super easy Al Pastor Picadillo. I was crazy busy today so having store bought sopes and refried beans at home was super convenient and made the prep work alot shorter 😌 I’m sure you can relate! My family enjoyed the picadillo on sopes. It can also be enjoyed with tacos or tortas! The longer you let it marinate, the better and tastier it will be. I let it marinate overnight but at minimum two hours will do the trick. �
