Preparing multiple enchiladas for a picky (or adventerous) family
 Whether your family is picky (everyone has their different favorite enchilada) or they are adventurous (likes to try a bit of everything), this post is for you! Today I made 4 different kinds of enchiladas in the same dish with great success. [Read More]
An attempt to please the masses (i.e. the hubby)
In an earlier post, I noted that I love salsa verde. However, my husband doesn’t care for it…
So, in an attempt to please the both of us, I made both salsa verde and salsa roja! First attempt at both and both need a bit of work, but not too bad for a first attempt!
 Exact proportions are up to you, I think I made this a bit too oniony, but that’s the beauty of sauces, they are very adaptable and cheap to make. [Read More]
Tomatillos with a kick!
I love, love, love salsa verde! It is my favorite of the salsas and I’ve been wanting to try out my own for quite some time.
 Again, with my other Mexican salsas, I won’t give proportions, these are highly experimental and as long as you have an idea of what kind of taste you want, you can adjust from there. [Read More]
Isn’t is always better homemade?
I’ve always been wanting to try my hand at traditional Mexican and Tex-Mex food. So, today I gave it my best shot making my own sauces from scratch and making an enchilada feast!
First up is the enchilada sauce. You need to make this early in the day, as it needs to be at room temperature or cooler to dip your corn tortillas into (unless you want them to disintegrate before your eyes). I found the process extraordinarily simple though and just about anyone can do it!
 I’m going to keep the proportions of ingredients a bit of a secret, as the bulk of this recipe comes from a restaurant, but the process is what fascinated me the most. [Read More]
A healthy and quick breakfast!
On my Friday’s off, I enjoy experimenting with new breakfast ideas. Today was no exception, but it had to be quick. Tomorrow I’m running a 5 mile race, so I needed to have time this morning to pre-cook my breakfast for tomorrow (my buckwheat pancakes).
I had developed an idea sparked by tortillas I bought some time back, a garlic herb tortilla produced by La Tortilla Factory. The idea was to fuse the Greek world with a Mexican-style twist… [Read More]
Utilizing Leftovers the best we can!
Last night I made shredded beef for our arepas and had a bunch leftover (on purpose, of course!). After my 6 mile run, I needed more fuel to keep going and needed something quick and easy. Thus, the 5 minute quesadilla! I ate half just after my run and the other an hour or so later. [Read More]
A (mostly) Venezuelan Valentine’s Day
Today is Valentine’s Day…
I don’t try to get caught up in the hype and try not to go out or get concerned whether I’m getting anything or not (I’m pretty low maintenance). However, I do find it a good time to try to make food at home as a special gesture. [Read More]
Breakfast is served!
Ok…on to my first actual recipe!
I love Mexican food and love to find new ways to make it healthy…
In this quest I challenged myself to make a healthy quesadilla! [Read More]
