This post is sponsored by Knorr® and Unilever. The opinions and text are all mine. Crispy handmade corn tortillas, filled with Oaxacan cheese and grilled mushrooms make the perfect quick snack. When it’s paired with a hearty Mexican soup, like Knorr® NEW Sopa Mexicana, it turns into the perfect meal. Two years ago we traveled to Mexico City, where we visited a neighborhood where the famous canals of Xochimilco still transport colorful gondola-like boats. After a long enjoyable ride on…
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Farmer John. The following opinions, recipe, and text are all mine. The holidays are here, which means there will be plenty of cooking in our home. Every year our family gets together on Christmas Eve. Noche Buena is what we celebrate in our culture, which falls on the 24th of December.

My mom would bring the lengua home from the local Mexican market…
Recently the boyfriend introduced me to an Italian restaurant called The Old Spaghetti Factory, an American chain restaurant. It’s one of his favorite restaurants for Italian food, but if I had a choice, I tend to avoid pasta in general. Not because I don’t like pasta, I love it! That’s the problem.

With Valentine’s in the month of February, there’s no way I could just feature one dessert. Which is why I plan to share dessert recipes every week this whole month! I think I’ll call it, February Sweetness Month….starting with a delicious creamy, Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. Why cheesecake and not chocolate? Look, we all know Chocolate takes the cake (get it?, ha!) when it comes to Valentine’s. As a matter of fact, just to make this article a little more…
After a crazy day at work of multi-tasking projects, non-stop meetings and then drive a long commute, this gal looks forward to her five minutes of #lalatime. Especially when those quiet minutes involve a sweet treat, like Cafe Breaks pudding snacks. I was recently introduced to Cafe Breaks pudding and I couldn’t wait to create a simple ready-to-eat recipe that required no cooking or baking. It had to be something that you can whip up and enjoy within 5 minutes of your…
