Food: Mole

Mole is one of the many traditional dishes that i grew up loving. Below is my take on this delicious and quick dish.


Start with the amount of chicken of your chioce, I choose chicken breast.


Place chicken in a pot filled with 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil on medium heat for 30 mins.



Add Dona Maria Mole paste and (half an onion...optional)
stir occasionally for 10 mins until sauce thickens.


Personally i love some sweetness to my Mole so i fry half of a banana then blend and pour into the Mole sauce. If u like more of a spicy flavor skip this step.



As a garnish i like to add sesame seeds.


I serve it with a side of steamed white rice.


and.....dinner is served :)

Food: Tacos Al Pastor


Tacos Al Pastor is perhaps the best taco you could ever try. Below is my easy and delicious spin...Enjoy!


Start off with a 1/2 lb. of spit-roasted pork (Al Pastor), place on a non-stick pan and cook for 15 mins on medium heat. Then place cooked pork on a warm tortilla.



Garnish with cilantro, tomatoes, onion, and lettuce (optional)


And to complete the dish add a salsa of your choice and a splash of lemon. I sprinkled a pinch of mexican style shredded cheese.


And BAMMMMMMMMMM!
My fiance likes it the traditional style (no lettuce)


but i prefer mine with alot of lettuce mmmmm.

Beauty: Summer of Love

If you are looking for a beautiful eyeshadow pallete thats perfect for spring/summer check out the Urban Decay Summer of Love pallete. This pallete comes with four eyeshadows,3 natural shades and 1 bright shade. The pigmentation on these eyeshadows are great. They blend easily, you might have some fall out with Maui Wowie and Chopper. I recommend putting a base such as a paint pot or a NYX jumbo pencil before placing these shadows on your lids.
