Hola Hola!
How are you today?
I am so excited to be sharing one of my favorite tailgate recipes for Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs inspired by Sonoran Hot Dogs! As we’re moving into Fall, and temperatures are starting to fall, I wanted to hold on to a bit of Summer, and these hot dogs are the perfect sendoff, and way to enjoy the upcoming football games!
Hola!
I’ve got a product review that I am sharing with you today! The other day I received a toaster
from BALMUDA, a company that was founded in Tokyo in 2003 who has always been dedicated
to being creative with household appliances. You’re probably thinking, what’s so special about
BALMUDA The Toaster?
¡Hola Hola!
Today I’m keeping it pretty short and sharing a recipe for beer braised chicken tinga. If you’re not familiar with chicken tinga, it is essentially chicken that is braised in a rich and smoky chipotle tomato sauce until the meat falls off the bone and shreds easily.
This is one of the many recipes that I developed for Cerveza Sol back in January that they used for an in-store promotion that I also shared on Instagram a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed how the recipe turned with the addition of beer so I wanted to document it on the blog for you to also enjoy. I found that adding beer to the sauce gave it a nice brightness to balance out the super rich sauce. If you like to meal prep for the week, make a double batch and use tinga over rice, for tacos, for burritos or even in a quesadilla. Be sure to tag me in your posts if you happen to make the recipe, I always love seeing your interpretation of my recipes!
¡Nos vemos pronto!
¡Hola Hola!
I know what you’re thinking, ¿Donde andabas perdido? I had to take a brief break from working on blog stuff because I spent the last few weeks packing and moving out of Southern California so I hadn’t been able to work on anything new. I also added a third baby to the pack and he’s been keeping me so so busy!
I’m really excited to talk about this new space and finally start working on what I’ve been wanting to do for a really long time, video! There is so much natural light to work with in this new space in comparison to the sole tiny window we had before in our apartment, but I’ll be sharing a little bit more about this in another post!
Today we’re making a refreshing strawberry mango agua fresca. I had stopped by the Farmers Market over the weekend and both the strawberries and mangoes looked too sweet and juicy to pass up. Whenever you’re making an agua fresca, make sure you are using fruit that is ripe so that your agua is flavorful and sweetened naturally so you don’t have to add spoonfuls and spoonfuls of extra sugar to sweeten it. If you happen to have any extra strawberries, slice them and add them to your pitcher for a nice garnish.
I hope you are all staying cool this Summer, I’ll be back later this week with more recipes! ¡Nos vemos pronto!
