Spinach, Zucchini, Tomato, Mushroom Stuffed Quesadillas Oozing with Mozzarella
Happy (Meatless) Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.Today's dinner had to be made fast. The thing I love most about cooking with fresh vegetables is that they're ready for use right away! Tonight's dinner can be made in less than 15 minutes!...for those who think latinos can't forgo meat, think again. Latin american cuisine focuses primarily on fresh made ingredients like tortillas, veggies, and my favorite legume, beans! Meat's...

Authentic Mexican Enchiladas with Fresh Red Sauce, Herbs, Carne Asada and Cotija Cheese - Happy Cinco de Mayo
If I ever had to narrow down my favorite Mexican food, it would be enchiladas. Forget having only one food to live on if you were hypothetically stuck on an island forever. I need meals to survive. Enchiladas would definitely be part of that meal I'd live on forever. I don't think life is worth living without the ingredients used to make authentic mexican food. Fresh vegetables, herbs, tortillas, rice, beans and meat are the...

Refreshing Homemade Michelada
Refreshing Homemade MicheladasThere's nothing like a cold brewskie. No, really, there isn't.Micheladas are beer cocktails famous in Mexico. They are mostly known as a "hangover cure" in the party world, which is why people love 'em for brunch, but Micheladas are good for when you want beer with a kick. Micheladas are great light alcoholic drinks. Period.I'm not a fan of tequila, so I will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a refreshing Michelada....

How to Bake Your Own Tortilla Chips + My Favorite Guacamole Recipe
I can't get enough of tortillas. It's part of my culture. We Latinos eat tortillas with almost everything! We eat them with tacos, tostadas, taquitos, and of course, CHIPS! With Cinco de Mayo approaching, I wanted to share how to make your own tortilla chips at home. It's important to realize that you can have chips made without frying. I don't use any type of oil or butter for these chips, which makes them healthy! Hooray for healthy baked...

Lets Get High with Mint Marijuana Brownies
No, this won't be about getting high and I'm not encouraging drug abuse. But now that I got your attention... Let's get high with mint marijuana brownies...There's a lot of controversy about what I'm about to get into. And that's why I'm discussing it. I don't see why the big fuss over an herb... It's time for an herbal refreshment.Countries around the world have their own traditions on marijuana consumption, but with today being...

Sweet Caramel Coconut Chocolate Dipped & Drizzled Cookies| Healthy Version of Girl Scout Samoas
A few weeks ago I had a brief date with the devil. They say the devil is the source of all things evil. That the devil can make something bad look, seem, and taste so damn good. How does the devil do it so well? Thinking back now, I met with more than one devil that afternoon.They were dressed in brown and blue uniform. Brown skirts and vests and blue oxford blouses to be exact. There was no way I could ignore them. They had the...

Ease, Treat, and Prevent a Sore Throat with These Foods
Have a sore throat can be a result of many things. In my case, it was an almost lethal kiss I gave to my mother last week when she was sick. I know. I should've known better! I just wasn't thinking. Love makes you do stupid things like kissing a sick person.So for the past few days, I've been more bed ridden than I have been in a while. That's what I get for saying "I never get sick."And the cherry on top of this shitty sundae...
