Spicy Queso Fresco Guacamole
In just under 24 hours I will be celebrating my all time favorite holiday of the entire year. Yup, Cinco de Mayo. I even like it more than my birthday, and that is saying a lot. Because I really like my birthday. But Cinco is the only day of the entire year that I’m allowed […]
7 Layer Dip
Who doesn’t like Seven Layer Dip. No one I know… except for me a few years ago. WHAAAAAAT? You guys. I’m totally crazy. Why the heck didn’t I like Seven Layer Dip? Actually I can tell you why. Promise not to judge me? Sour Cream. It used to totally freak me out. I couldn’t even […]
Cowboy Caviar Chopped Salad
This is not a slutty brownie. In fact this is quite opposite of a slutty brownie. This is a Cowboy Caviar Chopped Salad. And it’s pretty much the salad of my dreams. You know how sometimes you just happen to overindulge a bit too much. Well that was basically me this weekend. And now I’m […]

Grilled Guacamole
Grilled Guacmole? Ummmm. Heck yes!! I made this recently for Tasty Kitchen and it was gooooood. You need to make it. Immediately. It’s life changing. And then throw some rice chips with it and call it a meal… And… wanna hear something really exciting. We’re totally having a guacamole bar at our wedding this summer. […]
Carne Asada Fries
Drool. That’s basically what my boyfriend did when I surprised him with these Carne Asada Fries for lunch this past weekend. In fact, I can’t just say that was only him, I was pretty much freaking out the entire time I was making these and just pacing my kitchen while the fries baked because I […]
Classic Cheese Crisps
Cheese Crisps are my life. Literally. They probably make up about 50% of my body because they are pretty much all I ate until I turned 16. Growing up in Tucson, AZ (where the original cheese crisps is rumored to be invented) it’s pretty hard to stay away from these little treats. It’s pretty much […]

Tlayuda: A Mexican Pizza
Who here has heard of a Tlayuda? It’s kinda going to change your life. I recently discovered this amazing dish on my 1900 mile road trip across the Southwestern part of the U.S. It’s pretty much a Mexican Pizza that is topped with a black bean puree, some sort of meat, different regional cheeses, shredded […]
Road Trip: Food Lover Style
A little over a week ago, I departed on a road trip with two lovely ladies, Aida and Lillian, as we headed towards Austin, TX for the International Association of Culinary Professionals. (IACP for short!) We met early one Saturday morning, picked up our rental car and headed out to do the food obsessed version […]
Spicy Refried Beans
My boyfriend and I are absolutely obsessed with this little taco joint down the street from our apartment. It seriously has the best re-fried beans ever. Their burritos and tacos are kinda amazing also. But really it’s all about the beans. And get this – they aren’t made with lard! Say what?!? My kinda beans! […]
Cinco de Mayo Party
Cinco de Mayo is my second favorite celebration of the year, right after my birthday. I mean it’s pretty much a day where drinking margaritas starting at noon and eating obscene amounts of guacamole is the norm, right. Wait? That’s not how you celebrate? I don’t understand 🙂 I mean yes, it’s also about the […]
Homemade Tortilla Chips and Bean Dip
As a true Arizona Girl, chips, dips and salsas are vital to my survival. In high school and college, my friends and I would head south of the border to various Mexican resorts and time shares while living off of chips… margaritas too, but I’ll save those stories for another day. The thing about chips […]
Goat Cheese Guacamole
A very exciting thing happened to me this past week at the farmers market. I was casually strolling along on my way to the “avocado man” ready to go pick up my weekly 10 avocados, and when I got there he surprised me with the Bacon avocado!!! I’ve been bugging him for weeks now, asking […]
Irish Nachos with Guacamole
I am fairly confident that you all know my obsession with guacamole by this point in time. I could, and would, eat it everyday for every meal and I am certain that I would never tire of this. I am always on the lookout for new ideas that involved my beloved guacamole and this past […]
The Best Guacamole
Guacamole is my all time favorite food in the whole wide world. It is very rare that I come across a guacamole that I don’t like. A few weeks ago I tried some homemade guacamole at a party and it was delicious. After hunting down the person who made this to get the recipe, I […]
