Happy Birthday Mom!!

We are moments away from surprising our Mom for her 60th birthday. There are 30 people down the street at our friend Sharon's house right now! My brother and sister and I had a crazy but fun day of prepping and cooking and sneaking down the street to decorate...  wish us luck! 

Happy Birthday Mom we love you!!

Roasted Potato and Halibut Puttanesca

I saw this recipe in the latest Bon Appetit and had to make it!  I love all things puttanesca - olives, anchovies, tomatoes, red pepper flakes, etc...yummmmmm!  This one can stand on its own or you can serve it up with some pasta for those starchy carb lovers out there.  I changed the recipe slightly: I used anchovy paste instead of filets, I roasted the potatoes and shallots right on a roasting pan, and I cooked the fish right in the tomato sauce instead of separately. It came out really good and is definitely one I would make again!

' Note: This recipe would work really well with tilapia as well. (Halibut can be a little expensive sometimes.)

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Here are some festive red velvet cupcakes for the Valentine's Day celebrations.  I used a recipe from a cookbook I have, but here is a basic recipe that you can follow.  Beijos!

Happy Valentimes!

Our friends Caitlin and Kyle had us over for brunch on Sunday, and these are some yummy cupcakes they made. Aren't they cute? And after we took a bite and confirmed that they were delicious, Caitlin told us they were vegan. I never would have guessed!

Happy love day everyone! xox

Super Bowl Blueberry Buckle

I made this easy treat to enjoy on Super Bowl Sunday.  Mom bought a big thing of blueberries so we wanted to use them.  This is basically like a giant blueberry muffin with streusel topping.  I got the recipe from Martha Stewart's website.  It was pretty tasty...try it out!
