It seems like the second Labor Day is over people (well, mostly women) jump head first into the Fall season. I am most definitely one of these people. I love the idea of Autumn with it’s cool, crisp days, the changing leaves, the need for layers, and all the fun […]
Eater beware: This serrano salsa is SPICY. Gabe usually has a towel handy when he eats this to mop the sweat from his brow. If you can love heat then this is the salsa for you. If you are like me and actually like to taste your food then we’d […]
When it comes to guacamole we prefer a simple, no fuss recipe. This is a great base and we snack on it as is but if you prefer to jazz yours up a bit you could add diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. To store guacamole simply spread it out in […]
Gabe’s family used to own a busy little Mexican restaurant and this is their tomato salsa recipe. We make this for almost every party or gathering we host and it is always a hit. Fun fact: this recipe is still used by a local Mexican restaurant. The beauty about this […]

This recipe is a delicious way to enjoy the incredible flavors of summer. Cook the bacon and couscous, dice your tomatoes and peaches, throw together with some arugula and balsamic and bam! you have a jazzed up version of a BLT salad. Happy Cooking!
A heads up on this orange chicken: as much as we love the orange coated, sticky, fried goodness that comes from popular Chinese takeout places this is not that. It is delicious and it has a great orange flavor but it is not deep fried and it is not swimming […]
