Roasted Salsas

Over the holidays I hosted a taco party at my house for 30 of my friends.  Instead of buying all the salsas, I decided to make it myself.  I made Pico de Gallo, Orange Sauce, and the roasted salsas below.  They all turned out great and super easy to make.  In the future when I am too...

Orange Sauce

If you're unfamiliar with Orange Sauce, you're missing out! The spicy, smokey, and creaminess of the sauce is supper addicting.  In the Bay Area, people are crazy about orange sauce and I personally think that it is the most popular taqueria sauce/salsas to squirt, slather, and top on burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and tortas.  La Victoria...

Grilled Beer Brats

A few years ago, I brought fresh Brats to a Friend's BBQ and made the mistake of just throwing the Brats onto the hot grill without prepping the Brats. After a few minutes on the hot grill, the Brats shriveled up and tasted super dry. It was horrible. After that cooking fail, I researched on... Continue Reading →

My wife and I were introduced to tri-tip steaks a few years ago when we attended a party hosted by our good friend Anohla's family.  Mr. Alapan, Anohla's Dad, served up some delicious and amazing tri-tip steaks that were beautifully crusted on the outside, super tender and juicy on the inside, and perfectly flavorful all...

  My Friend, Sheryll, showing off the hot plate of Chicken Legs I love spontaneous summer BBQs that instantly turn lazy Sundays into Sunday Funday.  After walking a 5K with the girls on Sunday morning, my buddies text messaged me and told me a few of them were coming over to hang out and bringing...

Spicy Korean Chicken Wings

I like both.  I've enjoyed it as an appetizer at a lounge... Continue Reading →
