Mango Budino

This post is sponsored by The National Mango Board.

Hola Hola! Today we’re making a rich and creamy mango budino with hints of coconut and lime that we’re also topping with whipped cream and fresh lime zest! Growing up in Southern California meant that it was warm pretty much year-round, so mangos for me are always on the menu! Thanksgiving is coming up, and I have family members who aren’t into traditional Thanksgiving desserts, so I have to always have pie alternatives up my sleeve. This mango budino is it.

Peach Nectarine and Citrus Cazuelitas

.Hola, today I’m partnering with Sparkling Ice to share with you a recipe for a peach nectarine cazuelita made with Sparkling Ice Peach Nectarine! Sparkling Ice is a zero sugar sparkling water with real fruit flavor and packed with vitamins and antioxidants, and it comes in a variety of flavors with naturally sourced colors that everyone can enjoy! Today we’re working with nectarines and citrus, but if you like a good creamy cocktail, make sure to check out the cocolime creamsicle frozen margarita I made with Sparkling Ice Coconut Limeade a few years ago!

La Mangoneada: Frozen Mango Margaritas!

Hola! Happy Thursday! Today we’re making frozen Mango Margaritas with a chamoy swirl! I figured since the end of Summer is right around the corner, and I’m turning in the manuscript for my second book next week, this would be a great way to celebrate and hold onto what’s left of this warm weather!

This recipe was actually inspired by one of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants, Chevy’s! It’s where my Husband and I had our first few dates, and where we would go for Happy Hour whenever I had a rough day at the office. It’s not the most authentic, but their frozen margaritas were always perfect, they were creamy, and not overly sweet. In my take on the frozen mango margarita (that I called La Mangoneada), I decided to ditch most of the ice and sub in frozen mango chunks, it packs the margarita with more mango flavor, but also adds that creaminess factor I love!

How to Make Authentic & Traditional Strawberry Horchata

Happy Wednesday! Today we’re making Strawberry Horchata!!

This is a recipe that has been in the works for a very long time. I started developing this recipe back when I was working on my first cookbook, but it just didn’t work out.

I decided to revisit the recipe over the Summer, and finally figured out that my initial tests didn’t work out because I was trying to incorporate fresh raw strawberries into the horchata. Because the berries were fresh, they weren’t mixing well with the rest of the drink, and just stayed mealy.

This Strawberry Horchata comes together in 4 easy steps.
