Healthyish Global and Latin-Inspired Recipes!

Having lived on or near the border my entire life, and traveled extensively in Peru, you'll find an emphasis on Peruvian and Mexican... I focus on local, seasonal, and sustainable (whenever possible) ingredients and creative recipes in all categories!

Reader favorites (and some of mine too!)

🌻 Cinco de Mayo Favorites

Keeping in mind that Cinco de Mayo is an American celebration (not a Mexican holiday), we nonetheless love this day dedicated to celebrating Mexican food and culture. These are a few of our "go to" Cinco de Mayo recipes/posts...

🌻 Late Spring and Early Summer Favorites

We're looking for lighter fare as the days getting longer and warmer... It's not time to put away a cardigan and the Dutch oven, but the thought of a heavy stew is not as appealing as it was a few short weeks ago!

  • Peruvian Chicken and Rice in a black cast itorn skillet with a small bowl of aji amarillo paste and cilantro.
  • Fried Oyster Tacos with Citrus Salsa close up square photo.
  • A close up of fish veracruz on a black plate with black flatware and grey napkin.
  • A black plate with pollo saltado, french fries, and Peruvian rice with black flatware and garnishes.
