I say all the time that I’m not that great at frying chicken, but chicken tenders are a whole different thing. Chicken breasts are so much more forgiving than a leg and thigh and cook super quickly. Over the last year, I tried something new with my standard chicken tender and I have never looked back.
I am not Mexican, I have never had an authentic birria taco, actually, I’ve never even had a birria taco before this one that I made. But over the last year, I have been seeing birria being made on Instagram and I could not take it anymore. I had to try it. I don’t know how authentic this is but I tried, I did my research, checked out a few food blogs, watched so many YouTube vids and decided it was my time!

There is nothing more delicious than the perfect BLT. The perfect sandwich with its salty crispy bacon, crisp lettuce, pillow-soft bread, and tomatoes. In this recipe, the tomato has taken a new form and it has become this incredibly flavorful and rich tomato spread. Once you make your BLT sandwich with this spread, you will never go back.
The elements of this dish come together like a symphony orchestra. Every item complimenting the next. They are all working together so you taste salt, sweet, zesty, and spicy. Then experience textures like soft, crunchy, and crumbly. I can see why these are all the rage, and how this can make a banging brunch.
Low-Calorie Living
I really really really love tacos. I never met a fish taco I did not like. I am on a little quest to eat healthier and have meals with more veggies, lean meats, and fiber. So I'm not about to be making ribs mashed potatoes gravy and mac n cheese for the blog to tempt myself. So the blog gets whatever I am eating. So these next few recipes are about keeping the calories low but the flavors high. That’s my motto, the food has to be delicious no matter what! these tacos did not disappoint!
It's the herb you either love or hate, the great cilantro. This recipe is very long overdue. I finally had a bunch of cilantro in my fridge. I managed to use it for this recipe before it all went bad. I have mentioned on this blog about the best-grilled chicken sandwich ever that I had on Prince street in New York. It was our spot after we did our nails at Marie Nails. I finally recreated it, and it is epic. If you don't like cilantro, I'm shocked that you are still reading, no need to continue.
What’s better than a platter full of delicious fritters? It could be saltfish, banana, plantain, bacon or sausage it does not matter, I’ll take them all. I had an over ripe plantain in the refrigerator for the better part of a week and seeing as though it was my morning to make breakfast, I figured why not make some fritters.
I can't believe I made butter! Every time I make whip cream, a little voice says, "Not too much. Don't want it to become butter," but for some reason, I never took it literally. It's like I didn't believe that if I kept on whipping, it would become butter even though I knew that that is how they make butter. This time I kept on beating, but not before smoking the cream.
This Jam came out of nowhere. I had no idea we had a blackcurrant tree. My mom came in the kitchen Friday morning asking me If I knew the Ribena tree was loaded. I was like, the Ribena who? I promptly took a stroll to the front yard with Lizzie to have a look and a taste. That bite was intense. Imagine the driest, sour, tartest cranberry you ever had, and times it by 100. That is what this tasted like, I was shook, but intrigued. I knew Saturday morning this had to become a jam.
