What do you know about the ketogenic (keto) diet? I was provided a copy of “The Big 15 Ketogenic Diet Cookbook” by the author and Rockridge Press. I was not compensated for my time. All opinions are my own. To be honest, I don’t know a whole lot and most of what I know has come…
2017 was quite the year.It was both wonderful and incredibly stressful. I did a ton of traveling, a lot of personal and professional growth, and made a major move from Charlotte to Cleveland with my husband, Joe and our dog, Paisley. We have really loved living in Cleveland the past 6 months (even though it’s…
Many people spend January focused on resetting. That might mean their diet, exercise, or focusing on some other goals. No matter the time of year or your dietary preferences, I think we can all agree that good flavor is important. POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice is only one ingredient and it provides both sweet and…
This recipe has become a staple in our house. It all started over the summer when I was trying to make some adjustments to my diet in an effort to heal my gut and overall, feel better. I had also recently returned from Thailand, so Thai flavors were on my mind and a constant source…

Thumbprint cookies are one of my favorites. Growing up we always ate buttery cookies rolled in walnuts, with strawberry jam filling the thumbprint. If you’re not familiar thumbprint cookies are quite literally what they sound like. Soft butter cookies, that are baked briefly then you stick your (hopefully clean!) thumb right in the middle to…
Wow, it’s crazy to think that it has been a whole year since I traveled south to Chile. This post has been sitting in my drafts since November, 2016 a few days after arriving home from our trip. To say the last year has been busy, and honestly sort of crazy, is an understatement. There…
Do you call it stuffing or dressing? This post was sponsored by Heinen’s. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands who support The Mexitalian. I know that stuffing is supposed to be inside the bird and dressing on the side but I grew up calling it stuffing and it never went inside the…
Baby artichokes?! I was wandering through the produce section at Whole Foods in Cleveland a few weeks ago to grad a few things for the week and spotted a two-pound container of baby artichokes. It was only about $4 for all two pounds so I couldn’t resist grabbing them to play around with. I had…
