Lemon Bar Recipe
This is the classic recipe for lemon bars, I made an alteration because I always find the lemon bars too sweet. I reduced the quantity of sugar but I wrote how much sugar you should add if you want them extra sweet. One of the things I love about lemon bars is how easy and few ingredients you need to make it (6 ingredients). So because of those facts I always make the bars with my daughter. Another amazing thing about this recipe, is that you don’t need a mixer, make the crust just using your hands like the old times, and the filling with a whisker. This heirloom recipe…

Whimsical Ocean Birthday party
This Whimsical Ocean Birthday party was an inspiration of the venue were we celebrate Mia’s 4th birthday. I would’ve never imagine celebrating an Ocean or Under the sea theme for my daughter’s birthday because her birthday it’s in fall, almost winter (November). We celebrated her birthday at an indoor playground were all the decor is Ocean related. We usually have a small birthday party at our house every year, with tons of DIY projects. But this year with a one month old lil sister, that wasn’t a choice for me. So we chose to celebrate at an indoor playground and make it simple but special. Must of the invitations were…

Hibiscus and Mint Popsicle Recipe
A couple of months ago I try The Good Pop Hibiscus popsicles at HEB as soon as I tried them, I knew I had to re create that Hibiscus and Mint Popsicle recipe. It was one of the most refreshing popsicles I have tried, it was not a regular hibiscus popsicle. The mint gives the popsicle a super refreshing flavor. I fell in love with the combination. I bet you have had before hibiscus tea or Hibiscus Agua Fresca, if you haven´t, you are missing a lot! The hibiscus flower is known for its refreshing red color and vitamin C content. You can buy it any Latin American grocery store.…

Pineapple sorbet
I can’t find words to describe how spectacular it’s the taste of this sorbet, the cinnamon topping adds a unique flavor! I know! we are just in January and it’s cold, very cold, but over here we love ice cream, especially if it´s homemade. I made the recipe using an ice cream machine but you can do it without a machine. One of the most frequent problems when making sorbets, it’s that as soon as you freeze it, it becomes really hard like a solid brick of ice and loses the soft and smooth texture. I found a blog post “sorbet 101¨ at Zoe Bakes, in which she explains that the…
