Dear Amigos,
Lately, I’ve been catching myself drifting and daydreaming, longing for another chance to explore new corners of the world, namely Mexico. So, because the pandemic has hampered (or temporarily paused) the appeasing of my jet setting proclivities, I bring the tastes of cuisine I hold dearest to my heart to my own kitchen.

This Sopa Azteca (Tortilla Soup) is like a golden, burnt orange embrace. The slightly creamy, velvety broth with a touch of heat beckons rejuvenating lunch breaks and longer after dinner lingerings….
Hello, dear ones!
Well, many of you are in the “back-to-school” swing, though that phrase connotes some sort of reinstating of an old routine, which is certainly not the case this year for many of you. I know meal planning may be even more of a stress with kiddos at home, so today I give you an updated (read: no canned soups) recipe of an easy, comforting weeknight classic my mom used to make for us when we were kids. …
Hola friends,
There’s something about a simple, all American taco that feels like home to me. Simple ground beef tacos are the ones I was raised on, so these contain a hefty dash of nostalgia for me. However, instead of using a taco spice packet, I created a spice mixture that kicks these up a notch or two. …
Hello foodie frands!!
I hope you all are WELL. We are adjusting to our new (well, 200 year old…thankful to be renting) home in Denver. We needed more space and are grateful for just that, a basement and a backyard!…
Well hello pals!
It’s been a while. I hope you’re not only surviving but finding ways to enjoy your summer amidst the pandemic. For me, it’s about finding tiny moments like my morning meditation and yoga (so early but so necessary!) or the half hour after my daughter’s nap time when she is all giddy and giggly….
Helloooooo lovely people!
I have had some friends awaiting this recipe, very very patiently. This recipe is wholly inspired by my mother (in law), my daughter’s “TaTa.” She walked me through, step by step, but of course, I had to sneak in some (Pasilla Chile) Magic. …
So, this is the part where I consider freezing and selling this soup because…damn. GUYS! I don’t even know what came over me to do a plant-based pozole, and infuse it with the likes of turmeric, ginger and coconut. It was a complete experiment and I am so happy I took the chance!…
¡Hola amigos! It’s been a second. Life, así como es, (as it is) has been wild. I’ve been to Austin, Mexico, back to Austin and finally back and settled in Denver after a month away. My time in Oaxaca, Mexico was truly magical. It gave gorgeous shape to my new company, Vecina Provisions Co., which I like to think of as Gouramanda’s love child. …
I was going to put the word “vegan” in the name of this stew. But guess what, something can be vegan and also really terrible for you. Marshall and I were talking about the concept of “whole plant recency”(we made up this term; don’t google it)…how something can be plant-based, but how long ago was it actually a plant? …
