Pico de gallo is one of my favorite things to make for game day, snacks, parties, and to accompany Mexican night.  It is taken with us when we go camping and tailgating.  I am probably asked to make this pico more than anything else that I make. I make this regularly for various pot lucks and events.  My co-workers at a previous job would sign me up to bring this and then tell me, "By the way, I signed you up to bring your pico!" Typically at our Super Bowl parties, I would bring this and ... continue reading...

I love a classic pico, but sometimes a foodie needs something different and fun.  Pineapple Serrano Salsa is a great change of pace! I love to load up tortilla chips with this Pineapple Serrano Salsa, even to the point where I have eaten so much that the acid of the pineapple is starting to burn a little!  It is such a great balance of sweet yet spicy, full of fresh flavor.  And a unique take on a classic Pico de Gallo.  No one will be expecting this salsa, so it makes quite the impression at ... continue reading...

Combining flavors and foods of different cultures has become a thing for me lately.  One of the first things I made that started this trend of mine: Mexican Spring Rolls with Cilantro Lime Dip.  Yuuuum! These Mexican Spring Rolls with Cilantro Lime Dip use my Pico de Gallo as the filler.  But you could use any chunky salsa that you like such as our Mexican Street Corn Salsa.  The pico is light, fresh, and therefore one of my favorite appetizers to make.  You could also throw in some ... continue reading...

Depending on where you live, have traveled, and are aware of, you may have NO idea of what I am talking about when I say Mexican street corn.  (If so, you are missing out, but don't worry, you will be in-the-know shortly!).  But oh, those of you that do know what that is, probably know all about the magic of this simple street food.  It is my inspiration for this Mexican Street Corn Salsa. Mexican street corn is typically a roasted ear of corn (husk still on for better grip!) ... continue reading...

Mexican food tends to have a bad reputation for being greasy, heavy, and unhealthy as a lot of the dishes we have come to associate with Mexican food tend to have a lot of cheese, sauce, and similar ingredients.  But there are a lot of options for Mexican food!  I tend to prefer my Mexican food on the lighter side, more so aligned with the more traditional Mexican dishes, and these Citrus Chicken Fajitas are one of my favorite things to make! One of my favorite lighter Mexican dishes to ... continue reading...
