Last year a friend sent me a tweet with a picture of some Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Choco Zucaritas she had found in a Mexican market in her city. She knew I would “get” the feeling of nostalgia and tinge of excitement to be able to buy in the U.S. a cereal we had eaten in Mexico. Then I read a post from Maura of The Other Side of the Tortilla about how excited she was that our very own TracyRead More ...
Cooking nutritious and delicious meals can be a challenge for busy families — and we certainly fall into that category lately! –, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying! That’s why I’m always on the lookout for creative, yet simple, recipes I can cook at dinnertime. As much as I’d love to believe that my quesadillas rock (they do!), I know I have to move beyond that and also find a way to make dinner fun so that my daughterRead More ...
How is this for the perfect summer party dessert? Take advantage of the peak of strawberry season and serve this classic at your next birthday party, baby shower or family barbecue. The preparation is so simple — it can be turned into a cooking activity among your guests and have them assemble their own. “Breakfast party,” you say? Replace the angel food cake loaf with homemade mini-pancakes and serve with maple syrup! These charming shortcake sticks are popular with theRead More ...
Hello everyone, and happy summer! My favorite season is officially here and I couldn’t be more thrilled! This is the perfect time for light, fresh meals that can be prepared outside, and that are bursting with life and color. A few weeks ago I gave you my mom’s recipe for a grilled chicken with a latin-loving salad made of beans, plantains, avocado, and jalapeno peppers. That recipe got me inspired to have a grilling session of my own, using anotherRead More ...
The summer season is here and there is a lot to celebrate! Father’s Day is right around the corner, Independence Day thereafter and many outdoor cooking get-togethers with friends and family will take over back yards in the next few months. Salmon tacos are very kid friendly. This protein is so full-bodied, satisfying and easy to digest. Salmon is also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered a brain booster. Did I mention how delicious these are? WrapRead More ...

I’m sure you already scrolled down to take a look at the tasty and creative recipes we’ve rounded up for you. Yes, those are chocolate chip easter baskets and a rainbow fruit delight dessert! Nestlé has shared with us two easter themed desserts that we can put together with our niños.Read More ...
Last month I mentioned here that I had been chosen to be one of four bloggers to be featured on a national print and digital campaign for Cool Whip Whipped Topping. Well, I just got a sneak peek of the ad that will start showing up on newsstands mid-April for the May issues of Every Day with Rachael Ray, Better Homes & Gardens and Cooking Light! Then, in mid-May, June issues of Parents Magazine and Everyday Food will roll out with mi cara and a mention ofRead More ...
Have the niños take part in your family’s Thanksgiving dinner preparation this year. Pumpkin pie pops are a great spin-off of the traditional pumpkin pie dessert we all love to indulge in after the big dinner. Not only are they fun and easy for little hands to assemble, but require very few ingredients to create. Because everything is ten times more fun on a stick, think of this autumn treat as circular empanaditas on a stick. Arrange them inRead More ...
