We LOVE Mexican recipes here at TBFS! Don’t miss our popular Fajitas, Huevos Rancheros, and Tres Leches Cake. While living in Puebla, Mexico, I had the chance to learn several Mexican dishes first-hand from some locals, like how to make authentic Mexican Tamales and Mexican rice. It just so happens, that Chiles Relleno (stuffed chiles) is thought to originate in Puebla, Mexico as well, and it’s a hugely popular staple of Mexican cuisine throughout the world!...

Hopefully you also like chocolate and caramel on top of a buttery shortbread crust. It’s a fast, easy, no-mixer recipe, and after baking the crust briefly, the remaining ingredients are simply drizzled or sprinkled on. Love the ease factor. The bars have so much texture in every bite starting from the crisp shortbread, gooey salted caramel, and both whole and sliced almonds for crunch. I used Fisher Almonds which are perfect for baking because there’s no added salt or oil....

Same recipe but people call it by different names depending on where they live. The bars are super soft, gooey, decadent, and have an amazing amount of texture and different flavors in every bite. It’s a one-bowl, no mixer recipe that’s fast, easy, and goofproof. Waiting for them to cool is the hardest part. Rather than making the bars with a classic graham cracker crust, I made a chocolate chip cookie crust....

Anyway though, I am really glad you enjoyed Alison’s post on her Weight Loss Success Story from yesterday. She is just an amazing woman and I love her so! Thanks again, Alison for sharing your lovely and inspiring story! But moving on to what I really want to talk about today: Chocolate in Aruba!! You know how much I love my chocolate. From Raw Vegan Chocolate Coconut Snowballs And Raw Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Donut Holes–Another 5 Minute Recipe!...

This Christmas Crack recipe has been so popular, and is truly addicting! It’s in my top three favorites alongside Buckeyes and Homemade Caramels! Don’t miss all my other favorite holiday and Christmas candy recipes! If I’m ever trying to think of a really simple dessert or treat that would be great for a crowd, easy to make for a party, or perfect for a Christmas treat for neighbors, these Graham cracker toffee bars come to mind....

See, I am addicted to Trader Joe’s Mango Ginger Chutney but I can inhale one of these tiny jars in a day. I like a little food with my condiments, sauces, and dips. I put the TJ’s mango ginger chutney on everything from crackers to salads to using it as a veggie dip to just eating it straight up. It’s so good but it follows the Starbucks latte principle: If you can make a homemade pumpkin spice latte for pennies on the dollar, then do so....

Fully Loaded Oreo Brownies This Oreo cream cheese brownie recipe came to me as I was trying to thin out my half-opened packages of baking chips and Oreos, much like these Loaded M&M’s Oreo Cookie Bars did a couple years ago. Sometimes the best results come when I wing it, and as a bonus I have less half-opened packages of baking supplies in my already over-crowded pantry. This result? Oreo cookie brownie heaven....

Why I love this Hot Cocoa recipe: Delicious – This creamy hot cocoa recipe is so much better than any of the powdered mixes you’ll find at the store. You will never buy another one again! 10 Minutes – Such a simple and quick recipe, only using one pot! Ingredient Control: most powdered hot chocolate mixes from the store are actually “hot cocoa” (they’re made with cocoa powder, rather than real chocolate), and they’re full of strange ingredients....

But I definitely prefer dark chocolate over any other type I was thrilled to received this Ghirardellli Intense Dark Chocolate in conjunction with being a FoodBuzz Featured Publisher The darker the better 72%, 86% Bring it. I can handle it. Some people saw that dark chocolate is bitter. I would say that it lacks overt sweetness (and boy, do I have a sweettooth) but I wouldn’t call dark chocolate bitter, per se....

I’m the proud husband of Lindsay girl. Isn’t she great? Every month Lindsay lets me have a cameo on her blog. I use this post to report back to you, the readers, on the income that Pinch of Yum created from the previous month. Our hope with these income reports is to be totally transparent as to what’s working and what’s not working when it comes to making money from a food blog....

I like to make hard boiled eggs each week to have on hand for snacks, topping on salads, sandwiches, or to use in Chicken Casserole, Deviled Eggs, Empanadas and Potato Salad. What I LOVE about this recipe: Five ingredients: hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), yellow mustard, salt and pepper, sandwich bread. Customizable: I’ve listed some fun add-in ideas below, but it’s easy to flavor this easy egg salad however you like!...

I actually had noticed the tire was looking low for the past few days but sort of forgot about it until I got in my car today (thankfully I was at home) and realized the tire was a limp noodle. I drove it to a gas station just blocks away, put air in it, only have it make that unmistakable air-is-leaking noise. Ugh. Scott took the car and is dealing with getting a new tire put on....

Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins I put peanut butter, banana, and honey in the blender, and my daughter asked what kind of smoothie I was making. None, I said. I’m making muffins. What??? This goes down as the easiest and fastest batter I’ve ever made. Ready in about 17 seconds with the flip of a switch. I’m a big fan of whisk-together batters, and nearly every blondie, brownie, bar, quick bread, muffin, and cake on my site is made with a whisk....

Our teachers: Jen, Todd & Diane Matt & Todd I was sitting in the back row next to Elana of Elana’s Pantry. She is the sweetest, kindest, and most friendly person. Truly just a sweetheart! Loved her! Everyone was excited to learn. But we all had to really put our thinking caps on because our first morning session and lecture was from Jen on camera settings. Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, controlling depth of field....

Hi Bloggie Friends! How was your weekend? Any fun stories to share? On Saturday as I mentioned, we went on a nice, long, family power walk through Balboa Park and then I met up with my friend Amber, who I hadn’t seen in 10 months. Amber and Jenny (who I mentioned before) are my two best friends here in San Diego and it was awesome seeing Amber and catching up on 10 months of life in 2 hours!...

Cheese Tortellini Pasta Salad Recipe This tortellini pasta salad is the perfect way to take advantage of garden-fresh ingredients. There’s nothing like summer tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and fresh basil. Take advantage of it while you still can. This vegetarian pasta salad is easy, ready in 15 minutes, there’s loads of flavor, and plenty of texture contrasts. The flavors and ingredients are similar to my Italian Chicken Pasta Salad. Al dente cheese tortellini, juicy tomatoes and corn, crunchy cucumbers, creamy avocado, fragrant basil, and salty parmesan cheese....

comment icon 120 more comments Just do a little raise-the-roof action if you wanna part-aaay with this crew. Me too! I see the roof and I’m gonna raise it. It’s Monday Funday – I think that’s what they call it, right? – and I want a garlic butter mushroom risotto party up in this house all around the clock today. I’m thinking 12pm for lunchtime, and again at 9pm because I’m a super bad person who eats a later than late dinner and sometimes in front of the TV no no no what’s happening to me?...

The next time you need to make an appetizer that’s mindlessly easy, fast, and that is a guaranteed party hit, this garlic cheese flatbread is just the one. How To Make The Garlic Cheese Flatbread The recipe uses a shortcut – a tube refrigerated thin crust pizza dough. If you don’t have refrigerated pizza dough in your area, another type of shelf-stable frozen pizza crust, or even naan or pita bread could work here....
