Hey friends❣️

Spring marches on, I can't believe it's almost May!!

Mex and Tex Mex Recipes for Cinco de Mayo

I love it when Cinco de Mayo comes around because it's a fun reminder to make some of my favorite foods. And this year especially I think it's a good time to honor our friends and neighbors across the border.

I'll show you how to make tortillas (no really, they're incredibly easy!) and the most succulent Mexican meats like short ribs and barbacoa.

If you want to broaden your culinary horizons make homemade enchilada sauce ~ it's a game changer and, again, so easy.

Masa harina biscuits (I'm famous for them,) street corn salad, and some of the most refreshing food I've ever experienced like this salad and this healthy refresher.

Did somebody say SALSA??!!

See all my Mexican-inspired recipes here.

(Short Cut) Fried Chicken Tacos 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“

These were GOOD! The box of chicken breasts had six pieces. It was just my husband and I, so I thought – three tacos for each of us, right? No. When I wasn’t looking, he snagged an extra one, so I had two, he had four. That’s how good they were! Will definitely make these tacos again soon!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

This is baking by you, for you. And it’s kind of perfect 😊🍌

Hey friends❣️ Almond Flour Banana Cake is the kind of thing you bake when the kitchen's quiet, the bananas are soft, and you want something warm and familiar without being predictable. Almond Flour Banana Cake Bananas have always given me a stomachache, so I have never been able to eat them. But somewhere along the way I discovered that I'm perfectly fine with cooked bananas ~ hence my absolute obsession with banana desserts of all kinds. But almond flour gets equal billing in this recipe and...
