Mojito Curd

A mojito is a traditional Cuban cocktail that is extremely popular here in Miami.  It generally consists of lime wedges and mint leaves muddled with sugar and topped off with rum and soda water.  I was thinking of ways to use the flavors of a mojito in a dessert or treat that went beyond cupcakes.

Green Papaya Chutney

I must confess: I hate papayas. Or, at least, I hate ripe papayas. I am one of those unfortunate people for whom the smell of ripe papaya just brings to mind all sorts of unpleasantness. Still, papaya trees keep growing in my backyard, as if to mock me. Rather than let them go to waste,

Pressure Cooker Passion Fruit Curd

Passion Fruit Curd Jar

In the US, most of us think of cheese when we hear the word “curd.” However, curds made of fruit are popular in other parts of the world. They are eaten as a spread or as a dessert topping. My first introduction to fruit curd was the lemon kind, but lemon has never been my

Colombian Empanadas

I learned to make empanadas from my mother. She wasn’t exactly the most patient instructor, but she DID teach me very well. I’ve probably had about a decade’s worth of practice now, and I dare say that I can barely taste the difference between her empanadas and mine anymore. I have gotten requests for the

Pressure Cooker Mango Chutney

A friend of mine was the go-to person for mango chutney for a few years. When her annual supply of mangoes during Mango Season was not to the usual standard, I stepped in to give it a shot on my own. I used my Instant Pot, and am pretty happy with the results! Before you

Vietnamese Yogurt

Making yogurt is something that would have never considered trying before I owned an electric pressure cooker with a Yogurt setting. Now, yogurt is a regular occurrence at my house. When I’m not dieting, Vietnamese yogurt is my go-to. Vietnamese yogurt (da ua or sua chua) is different from making regular yogurt in two ways.

Red, White, and Blue Jello Shots

Skip to Recipe Back in July, I brought a batch of red, white, and blue jello shots to an Independence Day party.  They went over very well, and the hostesses requested the recipe.  Sure, I said, I will put the recipe on the blog as soon as I can.  I just need an excuse to

Spiked Jelly Eyeballs

With Halloween just a few days away, I have been looking for fun treats to make.  I had been looking for candy eyeballs to use as a garnish for a dessert that I had in mind, but I couldn’t find any that looked promising.  A few online searches brought me to some jello shots decorated

Avocado Pickles

Skip to Recipe Growing up in a Hispanic household, avocado is a mealtime staple.  My mother would often give us sliced avocado with lime and salt to go with our meals.  Now that I am an adult, eating avocado without an acidic component never tastes quite right to me.  The rich fattiness of this fruit

Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Florida has an almost unhealthy obsession with Publix subs.  Don’t get me wrong, this grocery store chain does make some pretty darn good subs, but not worth the almost fanatical loyalty that they seem to have won from Floridians.  Usually, a Publix sub for me is a quick meal for when I spent too much
