Quick cooking Israeli couscous pairs with smoky grilled vegetables and a creamy, bright tahini sauce for a delicious summer side dish, served hot, cold, or room temperature.
Curried Coconut Cauliflower
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…
Apple Herb Two Bread Stuffing
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…
A Mexitalian Dinner Party!
This year marks the fourth I’ve had some friends over for a dinner party! My love language is cooking for people and it’s such a pleasure to have people over to share in good wine, company, and of course, food. Despite our rather small living house, we have made it work for the past several…
Cilantro Lime Hummus
What are your thoughts on flavored hummus? I love the idea of all kinds of hummus flavor mashups but when it comes down to it, I have always been sort of hummus purist. I like hummus with lots of lemon, garlic and tahini- and not much else. Until I discovered the cilantro lime hummus at…
Irish Cheddar & Spinach Scones
As March approached I started thinking about what I wanted to make to celebrate St. Patrick’s day. I happen to love holiday-themed recipes, and find that they’re really just a good excuse to try something new and fun. While brainstorming what to make this year I was also seriously craving a spinach and feta scone…
Orange-Cranberry Sauce + Thanksgiving Leftover Panini
Out of all the delicious food served for Thanksgiving my absolute favorite is cranberry sauce. I’ve been making this variation for years and it was inspired by my grandma’s recipe. You only need 4 ingredients to make it and it’s one of the easiest things to make for such a food-centric holiday. I smother most…
A Thanksgiving Meal for Two
Thanksgiving happens to be my favorite Holiday. While I love Christmas, the decorations, cookies, food, weeks of celebration, there is something about the simplicity of Thanksgiving that really appeals to me. Thanksgiving is just more casual, more relaxed (maybe not so much for the cook!). Not only do I love the food but also the…
Going Green for St. Patrick’s Day!
Green on Green on Green Potato Salad Not exactly Irish, but green, and it has potatoes! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! You may find this hard to believe but this Mexitalian is actually Irish too. Some might say this holiday is all about green beer. I say it’s all about the food. Growing up our Mexican…
Mediterranean Potato Salad
Mediterranean Potato Salad Summer Party Approved! Lately, my middle sister has been regularly referred to as “the world traveler,” as she is regularly visiting new and exotic places for work. Lucky for her all that travel comes with large numbers of frequent flier miles that she has put to good use by taking a dream…
