Spices Used in Mexican Foods
Over the past few days, many cities and states have started the process of opening up again — most with social distancing and other rules in place. Other states are remaining shut down for the time being. No matter where you live if you like to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, it’s going to look different this year. Here is a quick post about spices used in Mexican food. Something a little different… The spices used in Mexican food help give it a one-of-a-kind flavor that you desire. Since many of us are cooking more at home right now, maybe you can use these spices to create your own dishes! Cumin…

Chicken Cordon Bleu with Creamy Butter Sauce
It’s National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day! Did you know that most people (me included) thought that this dish was French? It actually originated in Switzerland. The Swiss need to reclaim their recipe — the French are getting all the credit! As a child, my mother served frozen versions of this dish. However, I don’t believe anyone ever served me a homemade version until I was an adult. I really liked the frozen version. However, I love this one. Have fun!

Creamy Chocolate Mousse
Even while self-isolating/in lockdown, I am still looking for reasons to make chocolatey things. I have to exhibit some restraint because it is so easy to eat and eat and eat right now! I finally bought one of those individual brownie pans — the ones that give you 4 corners (the best part!) on each brownie. So each brownie is its own little piece of heaven! So making too many of those is a bad idea right now. Along the lines of chocolate (yum!) — today is National Chocolate Mousse Day! I have an easy mousse recipe on the blog today. These mousse cups are creamy and light and quite…

Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons
My goals were to start the month off right with this roasted tomato soup recipe. But fate had other plans. It’s been a weird 12 hours! First… Site Drama! Because of everything going on in all of our lives, I was behind on getting this post up. I finally sat down at my computer and decided to update some plugins. Down went 2 of my sites! EEK! I couldn’t get into the site dashboards or anything. So, I had to talk to my hosting service to get some help. It took a while. Luckily, they have a rewind service that overwrote my sites with info from a time before the…
