When I first saw this recipe, it reminded me of the corn that my friend introduced me to in Brooklyn. We hit up a newish/upscale Mexican Restaurant and she raved about their amazing corn with chili powder and cheese. I was skeptical (mainly because it involved a mayo sauce, and I am not a huge fan of corn to begin with), but I decided to give it a try anyway. I was blow away by the flavors coming together, and how perfect everything blended. Flash forward 3 years later, this corn is popping up everywhere, and I hear people talking about it all the time! Recently I ...

Linguine in Tex-Mex Pepper Cream Sauce
This is a super quick and easy meal to throw together. You probably have a lot of the ingredients already, which make it cheap too! You can throw most of the ingredients (ok not the pasta) into the food processor and save yourself a lot of prep time. The taste in this recipe came together very nicely. The original recipe called for pumpkin seeds as a garnish, but since they didn't carry them at my local grocery store I opted to leave those off. It may have been a nice addition, but without them the recipe did not feel like it was missing anything. Also, since I ...
Salsa Poached Eggs & Cheese Grits
I have posted a couple other recipes involving eggs, so it is probably pretty obvious that we eat a lot of eggs and we love them in our house. I have been digging poached eggs lately, and when I saw this budget friendly recipe for Salsa Poached Eggs on Budget Bytes, I was so excited to try it. But......then I noticed the side she used in the original recipe were grits. I am not a huge fan of grits, although they have grown on me a little bit since living in the south. I actually really didn't like them until I had the most amazing tomato basil cheese grits at Buckhead ...
Mexican Baked Eggs & A Story of Caution
Once again, a Mexican inspired recipe! I love Mexican food, as you should know, and I think everyone else should love it too. It seems like we are always dining out to Mexican Restaurants, and cooking some sort of Mexican dish at home. These Mexican Baked Eggs are delicious and versatile. I have served them for brunch and dinner, and they were a hit at both. It is a hearty meal, and you will definitely be full and wishing you didn't eat so much after you are finished. With that said, it's extremely healthy and balanced, and it ...
Bean and Potato Enchiladas
People that know me, know that I LOVE Mexican food. I have never met an enchilada I didn't like, and am always trying to come up with different combinations. I think my love for Mexican food grew when I was in college. My freshman/sophomore years I worked during the summer in the best Mexican restaurant ever, Sagebrush Cantina, and got to know the food a little too well. Nachos, enchiladas, tortilla soup, sopapilla, flan, queso, flautas....I am drooling just thinking about it. The staff received a heavy discount on the food, which was prepared by a real ...
