Want to learn everything you need to know about vanilla? Vanilla beans come from the vanilla orchid. When they are finally picked they are green and have no aroma or flavour. The very time consuming curing process is what gives them their distinct flavour and aroma!
Ridiculous Quesadilla Con Arrachera
Aaron and I just got back a couple of weeks ago from the Baja California Sur in Mexico and these quesadillas are what I miss. Adding your own healthy toppings to your quesadilla is what makes them sooo delicious. I love to add some cabbage (which is a cruciferous vegetable and helps fight cancer), red onion (contains sulfur, for great looking skin and hair) and last but not least, beans and salsa verde which gives that great kick and gets your metabolism going.
Eat this before you die, your welcome ahead of time!
Shrimp Burgers with Chipotle and Cilantro Aioli
Today we celebrate mothers day and I can't think of a better way to celebrate this great day than with shrimp burgers and sweet potato fries. A couple of weeks ago I dreamt about these little morsels of deliciousness and I thought today would be the perfect day to bring them alive. I believe in honouring the people that have helped you grow and nurture you with pure love and my mom and auntie have been some of those people. It always feels good to show appreciation to the people that you love and I don't know a better way to do that than by making a yummy dinner.
