I’ve had a taste for taquitos for quite some time and figured I would try making them on my own. But I couldn’t decide between chicken or ground turkey, not knowing how the turkey would turn out. In the end, because the boneless skinless chicken breasts were in the freezer, the ground turkey won, since I had just bought some from the grocery store that day. I also had sour cream, salsa, and jalapenos on hand and made my own version of pico de gallo. Continue reading

Mother’s Day Strawberry Lemonade
Once you go scratch, you never go back! In this case I am referring to last week’s fresh squeezed lemonade lemon cups I served at my birthday bash. I don’t think I can ever return to frozen concentrate or powder mix after the deliciousness of homemade lemonade. My mouth craved for it all week, and I kept thinking how time consuming it was squeezing lemons and put the idea in the back of my mind. Continue reading

Happy Birthday to Me… Let’s Eat!
Wrapped up a excellent birthday week today! Started off last week, having lunch with my son at one of our favorite restaurants on my birthday. The days followed with plenty of fun in the sun munching on cupcakes, ice cream, and other fun treats to celebrate a young girl coming of age, as I prepared for the big soiree this weekend with friends and family. I spent the later part of the week hunting for party finds to decorate and style any and everything. Continue reading

Birthday Fun Pack Tutorial
We’ve all been there, when you have no idea what to give a child for their birthday. Maybe your child just met them in their swimming class, or maybe you forgot one of the children in the neighborhood were having their party tomorrow!?! You are still faced with the old age question, what do I buy the birthday girl or boy? Maybe your child was invited to a party, but won’t be able to attend due to a prior engagement with the grandparents. Continue reading

Beep! Mobile Bunny Peeps…
It’s Spring time so that means lots of pastel colored treats and sweets and with Easter Sunday approaching, families are preparing for church service and the Resurrection of Christ and later hiding treats in plastic eggs for the ultimate Easter Egg Hunt for their children. Also means lots of baked goods, and reminds me of my mother and I making bow-tie bunny cakes for everyone in the family. A tradition I plan to do with my own son this weekend, but also wanted to do something for the kids in our ministry playgroup. Continue reading

3 Dips to Dive Into…

Results of Living In A Foodie World
In the days of pinning recipes on Pinterest, photographing food for Instagram, and tuning into all the cooking shows on TV, I believe sometimes we are duped and easily impressed by what we see. We drool over the photos, press “Like”, and make comments on how delicious everything looks, well I want it to also taste good! I am not in the food business for how good it looks, I am here for how grand it taste. As a food stylist, presentation is always key, but if the taste is nowhere near satisfactory, then you have nothing! Continue reading

Veggie Taquitos & Freshmade NYC
When it comes to my household, I can honestly say we are not counting calories, banning carbs, or skipping dessert. As a matter of fact, we are doing everything possible to pack on just a few pounds, especially my premature son who was always low on the growth charts. Our way of eating has always been pretty good. We don’t eat pork or beef, we don’t indulge into a lot of store bought junk food, and my tot has always been a veggie lover from baby food, to now even preferring carrots and celery sticks over cookies or crackers. Continue reading

Dancing Gummi Bear Cocktail
As a food stylist for my company, I am always crafting foods and creating menu ideas for my clients to serve at their events. As apart of the new site I am developing, I will be introducing kiddie cocktail recipes that kids will surely enjoy. As you can probably tell from previous post, I love when beverages match a particular party theme, such as my Grinch Punch during the holidays, or when I served “Antifreeze” for my sons race car theme party. Now I introduce Dancing Gummi Bear kiddie cocktail, which stems from an adult alcohol beverage of various fruit liqueurs and vodka. Continue reading
