I love pasta. As a broke college student, it was always the cheapest and easiest thing to make. But when I was living in Italy, it was even cheaper and easier to make than ever. And there are just so many variations it's easy to find something that fits your budget, schedule and tastes.
A friend at work says that Mexican food is a rip-off... it's the same 5 ingredients rearranged on a plate. While there are a few staples, it's all so different. And of that multitude of arrangements, enchiladas are probably the easiest to make. This is how my mom taught me. This one you MUST read the whole recipe first. Being a recipe passed down over the generations, there's no such thing as measurements. And it can get pretty messy so wear something you're okay with getting dirty.
I love being Mexican. And I love Mexican street food. Pretty much anything made on a cart outside a soccer stadium or on a street corner is delicious. And probably pretty cheap. But my boyfriend, being a San Diego native, is far more familiar with Tijuana street foods and made these delicious hot dogs after a morning of tough yardwork.
Mole. Not the animal, the sauce. From the Nahuatl word molli meaning "sauce." You know, like guacamole. The Nahuatl word for avocado is āhuacatl, which became aguacate in Spanish. So ahuacamolli becomes guacamole, or quite literally, avocado sauce. But back to mole.
Good 'ol beets. No one likes them. No one likes having to cut them. And unless they're in the form of red velvet cake, no one really likes the taste of them. But I found this salad that balances savory with sweet.
This one was inspired by a coffee shop favorite. Quite possibly the fanciest breakfast sandwich ever.
A quick soup filled with good for you veggies!
