This is the first recipe I ever published on this blog. I went to edit it the other day and somehow got lost in a foreign and scary editing world from which I could not return. The post had to be trashed and I had to start all over again. So here we go. A […]

I know, I know, I almost NEVER post Mexican food on here.  But people, you do understand that I live in Mexico, where I can get cheap, fresh, and delicious Mexican food whenever I want, and sometimes, it’s as cheap as if I made it myself. But then I get to thinking ….. what if […]

Do you ever plod along, looking for new recipes and then re-making those over and over so much that you forget about those old and faithful recipes sitting lost and frayed in your old recipe binder?  No?  Well I do, and this is one of those. I have been so into making all kinds of […]

When my husband and I discussed moving to Mexico almost 10 years ago, I was afraid.  We had two small children and although I always enjoyed trying new things and having adventures, I wasn’t ready to sell everything and live in a van down by the river drive down in a van to live on […]

Don’t be mad at me for saying this (especially if you’re a Canadian and it’s anywhere from December to March), but sometimes, just sometimes, I miss winter.  I miss snow lightly falling, fireplaces, coming into a warm house, stomping off the snow, getting some hot chocolate going to warm up the children, or turning the […]
