A Little Introduction I’m sorry to say, these Cheesy Garlic Crescent Rolls are a guilty pleasure of mine. Whenever I prepare them, I slip off one (or two) and munch on it straight from the baking sheet, way before anyone notices. They’re everything that I crave: warm, buttery, garlicky, and gooey-cheesy- in a single little…
There are recipes I cook because they’re quick, and there are recipes I cook because they hug me from the inside out. This one—fideo with potatoes and beef—is firmly in the second category. To me, this dish is comfort food at its finest. It’s warm, hearty, a little bit rustic, and always tastes like home….
I’ll tell you that I could eat these salmon-spinach patties every week, happily forever. Crispy on the outside with a soft interior, they are bursting with the Mediterranean sun, making you feel as if you are right next to the beach. When I make a batch, I always end up sneaking one straight off the…
From experience, I can tell you this: Chimayo red chile enchiladas are worth eating any night of the week.

Honestly, this dip is one of my personal favorites if I need something quick and fresh and just JAMMED! It is creamy, spicy, multi-purposeful, and just never tiring. Each time I make it, I find myself hovering around the bowl with tortilla chips, pretending to just taste…the truth comes out, I’m full before dinner starts….
I am honest; I love capirotada. The first time I made it and kept my expectations low, it was a bread pudding with sweet flavors, but wow, I was blown away by what-might-have-been flavors. That is, warm, toasty bread up to its ears soaking in spiced syrup with layers of cheese (yes, cheese!), dried fruit,…
I’m just going to get downright honest with you – the Green Chile Cheese Potato Cakes is one of those recipes that I long to make whenever I find leftover mashed potatoes sitting in the refrigerator.” These golden nuggets are crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, and tantalizingly sprinkled with that…
German Chocolate Cake – Honestly, my dear friends, German chocolate cake makes me fall in love completely! Enchanting because of the chocolate sponge rolled around the creamy coconut and pecans, the blend is one of pure magic. It kind of smiles with elegance and temptation down from the counter—-that lovely full cake on display, making…
I have always been a sucker for creamy pasta dishes. The truth is, that single recipe, Smoked Sausage Alfredo Pasta, won me completely over when I first made it. The melt-in-your-mouth combination of smoky, savory sausage with that silky, garlicky Alfredo sauce is comfort food that is somewhat decadent but very easy to pull off…
This particular meal happens to be one of my highest-rated comfort food dishes. The very first time I prepared chili verde rice, none of the constituents seemed surprising: smoky, tart, just the right hint of heat, coupled with that warm, fluffy rice soaking in all the goodness. Honestly, this is one of those recipes that…
