One of my biggest inspirations for cooking is this beautiful lady. My grandma Consuelo ❤️

Here I made one of my favorite dishes that she would prepare when I was a kid. Carne de puerco con nopales en salsa roja 🌶️

Prettiest mashed potatoes I’ve eaten! I made some mashed potatoes with the purple potatoes we grew in our garden this year 🤗 my daughter demanded it actually 😂

Nothing tastier than freshly harvested squash blossoms from the garden! I stuffed them with cheese and spinach before battering and frying them up to golden perfection!

Recipe alert!

I made espagueti verde (green spaghetti) for dinner last night!

I roasted 3 large poblanos, 2 jalapeños, 2 serranos, and a few small milperos. I peeled the skins off the chiles and took out the seeds and stems. I then blended it with 16 oz of crema, half a block of softened cream cheese, 1 bunch of cilantro, a dash of milk and a bit of the water from my boiled spaghetti noodles. I seasoned the sauce to taste with chicken bouillon, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmered it in a pan a little and then mixed it with spaghetti noodles. I then served it with some chicken on the side ☺️

So last night in my culinary class was pretty fun! My instructor said that it was going to be like an episode of Chopped, but not to worry because no one was going to be chopped lol. He had a bunch of ingredients laid out on a table and he said he wanted us to make a breakfast sandwich.

So here is what I made! This is my take on a Monté Cristo 😊 I have layers of ham and gruyere cheese accompanied by a homemade blueberry compote.

Made xiaolongbao or soup dumplings yesterday 🙌🏼

This was my second attempt at them and they are delicious! It’s a dumpling that is filled with ground pork and a tasty pork broth that is then steamed in a bamboo steamer. Be careful biting into one of these! They are literally filled with soup 😋

How are you guys preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow?

I went ahead and added the recipe for homemade pasta dough 🤗

Recipe alert!

Have you guys ever made pasta from scratch before? If you haven’t I highly recommend 🙌🏼

For a basic pasta dough a good ratio is every heaping 3/4 cup of all purpose flour, you use one egg. Use the amount you feel will be good for you. Sift flour onto a clean hard work surface and make a well in the center. Add eggs and lightly beat them with a fork as you slowly incorporate the flour. Once you start to work more flour into your eggs use your hands to kneed the dough. Kneed the dough for about 15 minutes and wrap in plastic. Let dough rest for 30 minutes at room temperature before rolling out and cutting into your desired shape. If not using dough right away you can let it rest in the fridge overnight 🤗

Recipe for home made cranberry sauce, perfect for Thanksgiving dinner!

Ingredients:

12 oz bag of fresh cranberries

1 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice + 1 tsp of orange zest

3/4 cup of white sugar

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a small pot and bring to a boil. Once most of the cranberries have popped turn off heat and allow to cool.

That’s it! That’s all you need to do for a delicious cranberry sauce! It’s definitely better than the canned stuff. If you don’t want to use a fresh orange juice, you can opt for 1 cup of store bought juice and omit the orange zest 🤗. Enjoy!
