Gluten Free Tres Leche
Tres Leche is a favorite recipe of my brothers… and now I have perfected the recipe to make it Gluten Free so my sis-in-law and myself can enjoy it as well. A fun Birthday treat! We always do a family dinner for birthday’s and I always get to fix a dessert for my brothers birthday. This year he wanted Tres Leche, which I love, so I decided to try a GF version so we could all enjoy it. Now I am not going to lie I was a little nervous. Sometimes gluten free recipes, especially baked goods, can feel gritty and dry, but I was hoping all the milk would…

a little queso fun at home
Whether you plan on celebrating with a big party or a simple dinner for the family this Queso Blanco is a MUST MAKE! Just trust me it really, really is. My most favorite (& that is saying a lot) I am not sure there are enough words in my vocabulary to express my love for queso. I judge restaurants by their level of queso. To make it great it has to be rich, creamy, not too thick and not too thin, with a little heat to make it the perfect bite. One of my most favorite queso’s I have ever had was actually from a cheesesteak place here in…

brownies always make for a sweet finish
Sweets are a must have for Cinco de Mayo…after indulging in something cheesy and yummy I have to finish it off with something sweet and its even better when there is a little kick involved. Truth be told…I also love to have a margarita or two as well, but since I can’t have alcohol right now (it doesn’t mix with pain meds evidently) I will have a double dose of brownies instead. Now these brownies are not your ordinary box brownies, or these caramel brownies or even these oreo brownies they are super fudgy with a little kick. Ok I hear ya…brownies with a kick? What kind of…
