Salsa! Salsa! Salsa!

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Chef Alina

I don’t think any salsa can compare to fresh Pico de Gallo. You can serve it with chips, on your quesadilla, burrito, breakfast burrito, enchilada, torta, fish tacos, it goes on and on.

I love Pico de Gallo and Mexican food!

I can’t explain to you how easy this recipe is! Chopping up ingredients and mixing them together. No cooking necessary! What more can you ask for!? Continue reading →

Salsa Verde My Way

Posted on October 7, 2012 by Chef Alina

So your regular Salsa Verde usually has tomatillos in them, which gives it the “verde” along with the jalapeños. But it also cools down the heat. So I decided to leave the tomatillos out of the equation and just make it all about the jalapeños. This recipe is ideal on any mexican dish, especially tacos 🙂 The smokey taste from the charred jalapeños and onions enhance the flavor of the salsa and give it a nice kick! Continue reading →

Pretty Pink Pickled Onions

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Chef Alina

I recently held a Birthday Dinner for my Hubby and our Best Man’s wife, since they are both born on the same day 🙂 I wanted to make something fun and easy to put together so whats more easier than tacos! I made yummy Pulled Pork (recipe coming soon) and I added an extra touch by topping them with these yummy pink pickled onions. These mouthwatering onions brightened up the flavor of the tacos and were a nice way of impressing the crowd! Continue reading →

Welcome to My World of Cooking!

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Chef Alina

Welcome to my recipe blog! A recent newlywed, along with many of my friends, I had been getting requests to start a blog on dishes I make in the kitchen for me and my hubby. I hope this blog helps any wife, husband, newlywed or single person and inspires them to get down and dirty in the kitchen and cook with all the passion you have inside of you.

XOXO
