Tamales!

We finished! We make them every two years and they get better every time. This year we wanted to upgrade. Two brand new stainless-steel steamer pots. We also wanted to test our recipe so we followed it pretty close. Good news is it's perfect. We did adjust a couple small things including cooking in the new pots. Tasty!

Marranitos

Sweetie wanted Gingerbread cookies. Why not make Marranitos! Similar but happens to be one of my favorite Pan Dulce. I found a recipe and took a shot. POW! Taste is exactly as I remember. I didn't have a piggy cookie cutter so these are Gingerbread and of course Airplanes.

Empanadas

Today was a huge Snowmeggon. Close to 3' and still falling. We wanted some tasty Empanadas so we made them. Very tasty. Check out the recipe.

Caldo

Wow. All this time we thought every recipe was in the cook book. Somehow Caldo escaped. Check it out. A new recipe in Cominda Mexicana. Enjoy

Quernitos

Pan Dulce recipes are some of the best kept secrets. For years I've been trying to find a recipe for my favorite, Quernitos. I love them. I finally found one and worked on it. It's not quite perfect but getting close.
I added it to our Comida Mexicana cookbook. Enjoy.

Tamales

It's a tamale year! We waited till the holidays were passed and found a great deal on pork shoulder roasts. Tamales are done. Recipe is also revised to the latest. We didn't change much. Lard is a necessary ingredient. They just don't come out right without it. These are awesome.

I suppose it wouldn't be a blog if we didn't share Life in the mountains. We are retired so life up here moves at our pace. It's pretty sweet.
