Marinades really only need a minimum of three things: fat, acid, and seasonings. Fats can be anything from buttermilk to olive oil or butter. The fat in a marinade helps transfer seasonings that are fat-soluble and keeps the meat moist. Acids break down connective tissue. The more they are broken down, the more tender the meat will be. You can get acid from citrus fruits, vinegar, or even Greek yogurt....

Though I am an avid bread-lover, I’m also a firm believer that it tastes even better after a good second cooking! That could be a simple toasting or just letting the heat of the fillings warm it through. And then there are the fillings. Is there anything more indulgent than a gooey hot sandwich full of cheese? Or how about some juicy chicken, salty bacon, and sweet caramelized onions? Have you ever put fruit in your grilled cheese?...
Authentic Mexican food is seasoned with chile peppers, cacao, oregano, epazote (Mexican tea), and cilantro. If cheese is used, it’s typically white and crumbly, like cotija.

Tex-Mex is an incredible fusion of Mexican and American foods initially made by the Tejano culture – Texans of Mexican descent. It quickly spread throughout the States and is now one of the most popular cuisines in the country....

Serve this cornbread with some butter on top, melting down the sides, and maybe even a little bit of honey drizzled on top and… oh my, we’ve reached cornbread heaven! What is Cornbread? Cornbread is a “quick bread” which uses ground cornmeal as a main ingredient. Unlike regular bread, there’s no yeast used as a leavening agent. Instead, cornbread uses a little baking soda or baking powder to help give it some rise, while still having the density, texture and crumb of a thicker bread....

We arrived in the area around the time of our anniversary- our SEVENTEEN YEAR anniversary!...
