Especially if you’re planning to attend a Mother’s Day brunch. Not only do you have to book your reservation early at your mom’s favorite spot, but you can also expect to pay a pretty good penny. So unless you already booked your reservation, I have a different solution that…
Last week, I was supposed to bake a Farmer John ham for our family Easter brunch. But my sister decided to change our menu to a Mexican Brunch theme instead. Needless to say, I got stuck with a 7lb. ham for just Frank & I. So I thought, why do I have to bake a ham only for special occasions? Screw it, I’m going all out on a Bourbon Glaze Ham, just because. Let me tell you, that has been…
Banana bread is one of my favorite breads, muffins, you name it. Not only is it a classic, but you could pretty much enjoy it anytime of the day. Recently I discovered an easy banana bread recipe and I just had to share it with you. Now the secret to a delicious banana bread is ripe bananas.

There were no shortcuts to our meals, everything was made from scratch. Over time the family grew and time…
Who doesn’t love black beans and rice? Not solely are black beans good with rice, but they also make wholesome additions to soups, salads and pasta dishes. Plus, black beans carry enough protein just as equal to poultry and seafood, in addition to vitamins in greens equivalent to spinach and broccoli. So when I heard Goya Foods launch their “Better for For” product line, I had to try their low sodium black beans. I’m normally not a fan of canned beans, but…
This post was sponsored by HERDEZ®. All opinions and thoughts are my own. Tacos de Lengua (beef tongue) and Taco de Cabeza (beef head) are very popular in taquerias all over Mexico. In fact, I’m sure you’ve come across it on taco truck menus or any authentic Mexican restaurant in the U.S. Growing up my mom would make tacos de lengua regularly, since it was my dad’s favorite dish. My mom would bring the lengua home from the local Mexican market…
