I am so excited to share with you that I am finally creating content for YouTube, and my first video went live today! Watch today’s recipe below.
To celebrate we’re making a recipe from my first cookbook, Chicano Eats: Recipes from my Mexican American Kitchen, for a cocktail that I like to call La Cuba. Quite a few recipes in the book are inspired by different family members, and la Cuba is essentially my dad’s take on the traditional Mexican Paloma.
Did you know that the Paloma is Mexico’s national cocktail, and not the margarita?
Hola! It’s been a while since I’ve last shared a recipe, and boy what a time it has been since!
The super bowl is happening this weekend, so I’m sharing a couple of easy recipes to throw together if you’re hosting, but before I do, I want to catch you up on what I’ve been up to since!
The response to my new cookbook, Chicano Bakes has been amazing! I had the opportunity to go on different podcasts to promote the book, got to promote it on tv, and also had multiple pieces written about the book!! This thrillist piece was my favorite.
Onto the dip! The recipe for this bean dip is very straightforward and it only requires three ingredients; refried beans, enchilada sauce, and Colby Jack cheese. Toss them together, warm in the microwave, and serve! It’s that easy!!
Will you be tuning into the Superbowl this year? I’ll be back tomorrow with another quick and refreshing recipe for the 2023 Super Bowl! Nos vemos pronto!
Since the Dulce de Leche Chocoflan from my first cookbook was such a big hit and went viral when the first book came out, I knew I wanted to develop another chocoflan recipe for Chicano Bakes, and well, I ended up developing THREE new recipes. In the cakes chapter, you’ll find a recipe for a classic chocoflan, the spiced pumpkin chocoflan, and a red velvet chocoflan.
I am very happy to see the book out in the world, just in time for the Holiday season! Going from publishing my first cookbook in 2020, to immediately working on Chicano Bakes that year truly was not something I ever dreamed could happen, but hard work paid off, and I am so excited that I can finally hold this book in my hands. I’m including links for all of the places where you can buy the book online, and I’m also including the listings from my shop incase you’d like to purchase it from me. I hope you enjoy the book, and I can’t wait to see what you bake first!
