The Perfect Blood Orange Margarita

When you’re making blood orange margaritas, you want a recipe you can trust. After all, blood oranges are special (they only come around for a limited time each year) and expensive. You DON’T want to waste even a single orange on a bad margarita recipe.

You’ve come to the right place, because we carefully tested and refined this recipe until the unique taste of blood orange juice was shining through and perfectly complementing the crisp bite of tequila. Oh, and we figured out it also needed a bit of lime juice to taste its best!

We tested this recipe with four different sweeteners until we found the best one, and tested every ratio of blood orange juice to lime juice to tequila to sweetener until we got the most perfectly balanced drink.

Whether you’re an experienced mixologist or just looking for a way to use the blood oranges you bought on a whim, this blood orange margarita will turn out perfectly, every single time.

Your Guide To Perfectly Made Shrimp Fajitas

When it comes to making perfect shrimp fajitas, it’s all about cooking each ingredient perfectly. Nothing is worse than still-crunchy peppers and over-cooked shrimp, right?

An easy-to-clean-up sheet pan meal is totally possible, but you have to know what order to add the ingredients to the pan, and how long to cook each part of the recipe.

Unfortunately, as I’ve found out through lots of testing, it’s not an add everything to the pan at the same time situation.

But, by taking care to add the vegetables and shrimp to the pan in just two additions, you’re guaranteed to end up with a dinner where every single ingredient is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Shrimp Ceviche recipe is a restaurant-quality party appetizer that is simple to make at home. So fresh, healthy and easy!

Ceviche Shrimp

“I made this as an appetizer for a 4th of July party. It was excellent and a huge hit with the guests!”

—Kristine

In my Butchery class in culinary school, it seemed like we were ALWAYS butchering (de-shelling and de-veining) shrimp. It’s a crucial skill for any chef, or any home chef who loves seafood.

That left the classes that ran the student restaurant with a LOT of shrimp to use, and it ended up in a LOT of ceviche (which, coincidentally, we also learned about in our Food Chemistry class).

We would make big batches of the best shrimp ceviche and serve it as an appetizer or light lunch at the restaurant. The guests raved about it. They especially loved it on warmer days, because it’s elegant and delicious, but tastes so light and fresh. It’s just as great at home!

Instant Pot Steak Fajitas

I think it’s safe to say that between Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas and Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, I’ve mastered the sheet pan fajita.

After testing these Instant Pot Steak Fajitas to perfection many times over the past few months, I’m happy to report that I’m well on my way to mastering all kinds of Instant Pot fajitas, too!

This recipe is perfect for a hot day where you don’t want to turn on the oven, or even the stove. All the heat stays inside the Instant Pot. Even better, it’s hard to find a home cooked meal any faster than this one.

An Agua Fresca is the perfect balance of lightly sweetened fresh fruit, water and lime juice. Make any of the 5 flavors of this refreshing mocktail in just 5 minutes.

What is agua fresca?

Agua fresca is the Spanish term for “fresh water,” and it’s a light, refreshing drink enjoyed in Mexico and Central America.

In its simplest form, it’s a combination of fruit and water, but sometimes will also contain flowers, seeds or grains.

It’s a delightful way to stay cool at a summer gathering or when you’re sitting poolside.

Make them like a pro at home

I’ve done all the work of testing homemade agua frescas every which way, so that you don’t have to.

After many, MANY rounds of testing and tasting (seriously, my fridge was full of jars of agua frescas for weeks on end), I’ve figured out the perfect balance of fruit to sweetener to lime juice to water for each flavor.

And best of all, I’ve figure out that it’s totally possible to make all five flavors in 20 minutes total! Or, make just one flavor with your favorite fruit in less than 5 minutes.

This Pork Tenderloin Tacos with pineapple salsa recipe uses smart ingredient choices to make a restaurant-style dish easy enough for a weeknight or casual gathering.

Pork Tenderloin Tacos

If you’ve ever enjoyed an al pastor taco and love that succulent combination of pork marinated in pineapple, you’ve come to the right place.

This isn’t a strictly authentic Mexican recipe, but my interpretation of it using grilled pork tenderloin, that’s easy enough for a weeknight or a casual weekend gathering.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin is something that’s on my family’s dinner menu at least once a week, all summer long, every summer. I’ve grilled pork tenderloin hundreds of times, and turning it into tacos is such a great way to serve it.

Grab your grilling tongs and let’s make these pork and pineapple tacos topped with all the good things like avocado and cheese!

A Sonoran Hot Dog is a mashup of a hot dog and a taco PLUS BACON. Top with your favorite Tex Mex condiments and get ready for a flavor explosion.

You need to try a Sonoran Hot Dog

If you’ve never tried the street food delight that is the Sonoran hot dog, you might not know what what you’re missing.

It’s like a mash-up of a really great hot dog and a really great taco, PLUS BACON.

I’ve been perfecting this recipe at home for years, since I first tried it at a local restaurant and decided I loved it, but would love it more if it were homemade, with the exact toppings I wanted.

It might look complicated but I assure you it’s anything but. Simply wrap a slice of raw bacon around a hot dog and put it on the grill. The bacon will crisp up at the same time as the hot dog cooks on the grill.

Then, you can finish it off with whatever toppings you love. Refried beans, queso fresco, tomato, avocado, cilantro and sour cream are thought starters, but the sky’s the limit.
