Mexican Beans recipe

It’s Cinco de Mayo!  You just have to start every great Mexican meal with a fabulous pot of beans.  For years I wasn’t happy with my Mexican beans recipe.  One day I told my mom that mine just never taste as good as the beans I ate at home growing up or in the Valley,… [continue reading]

Song in my head

humor song in my head

Do you always have a song in your head? I can’t say there’s a song playing in my mind at all times, but much of the time there is, even though I don’t realize it. Things that happen or things I think about, tend to inadvertently produce a song in my head, that at times… [continue reading]

Self-Quarantine Celebrations during Covid-19 Stay home orders

St Patrick's Day Family Celebration

I will forever remember 2020 as the year the world shut down! It has been surreal, no? Our day-to-day life has seemed to go on much like normal, since we homeschool anyway.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Strawberry Pretzel Salad is a tradition at our house! Jason’s grandma Delores introduced me to this dish.  She served it every Easter.  I am not a huge fan of Jello ordinarily so I didn’t expect to like it all that well, but I loved it.  In fact Grandma served it as part of the meal,… [continue reading]

Family Camp in Glorieta New Mexico

Family Hike Glorieta New Mexico

Family camp had been on my bucket list since my eldest was a toddler. Every year I’d Google “Family Camps,” but for one reason or another it never worked out. One day last year, I received a message on Instagram from a former student of mine. She had been following my social media and told… [continue reading]

Chorizo con Papas Recipe (Mexican Sausage with Potatoes)

From as long as I can remember Chorizo con Papas has been one of my favorite things to eat.  I prefer to eat this dish as tacos in corn tortillas.  The rest of my family prefers flour tortillas, so I keep an ample supply of both.  On a chilly weekend at home, I imagine most… [continue reading]
