All Mexican families have there own cherished recipe of Mexican rice. This is the version I learned from my Mom. It may seem simple, yet it was one of her recipes that took me the longest to get just right. It is one of my top 5 family recipes that I love preparing for friends and family. I remember that when I was a…

This recipe is using the Crock pot; it is a good idea to do it overnight and have your barbacoa ready for breakfast, specially Sunday like we do in northern Mexico. If you do not have a crock pot, cook in a large pot in your stove for about 2½ to 3 hours. This will depend…

My dear friend Shun, as I affectionately call her, shared this dish with me many moons ago, and I was hooked after my first try. Fideos (noodles) are a simple symphony of spicy, smoky and fresh flavors. It is sometimes called sopa de fideos, which translates to dry noodle soup.…

Puerco en Salsa Verde (pork in green sauce) is a very popular Mexican dish that marries chiles and tomatillos with pork meat, usually the shoulder. You'll find a few variations, with or without corn and at various degrees of heat = picante. One element that is always present, is that zingy tang of the…

Even though Mexican food is readily available in Houston, that doesn't mean you get good tamales. For years I enjoyed the Rolls-Royce of tamales, but most restaurants here serve tamales that are closer to a Yugo. My ex-mother-in-law made the best tamales I've eaten to date. She made them every year and would give each of her sons a few dozens to…

In Mexico, corn is a food staple that goes back millennia. The fact it can grow practically anywhere - especially the poorer soil in southern regions - led some to believe it a "gift from the gods." Every part of the plant is used, from husks for tamales to stalks as animal feed. Even the silk has medicinal uses.

This soup, like many other corn dishes, is simple and flavorful!…

The first time I had one of these refreshing drinks I thought, “Wow, this is like a limonada and beer all in one! How come I didn’t think of this…

Sort of, but not exactly. See, confit is a French cooking and preservation method. The idea is to salt and flavor meats that are then slowly cooked in their own fat (or added fat) and later preserved in said fat. Carnitas are not preserved in the fat, though I don't see any reason why they couldn't be, except for the fact that they wouldn't last that long at the Price…

They do say it is the most important meal of the day, and I guess they are right. I am so tempted to use the infamous air quotes when I refer to they, but how would you see that? I'm also trying to trick you into thinking I'm one of the cool kids, I don't think the cool kids do air quotes..., do they?…

Christmas in Mexico isn’t simply one day. Christmas dinner isn’t simply one dinner, either. Rather, it’s nine days of dinners, from December 16th to December 24th, each held at a different house and featuring a different array of dishes. These dinners, which fall somewhere between religious celebration, fiesta, and dinner party, are called posadas, and are meant to symbolize Joseph and Mary’s search for food…
