  1. Pupusas 🇸🇻 Recipe Ingredients: Curtido- 1 cabbage, thinly sliced 3 cup hot water 2-3 jalapeños 3 carrots, shredded 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 1/2 cup vinegar 1/2 cup hot water 2 tbsp dried oregano (I really like oregano, you can use less than this) Salt to taste Process: In a very large bowl add your thinly sliced and clean cabbage, add hot water and allow to sit 5 minutes, drain this water To your drained cabbage add thinly sliced jalapeños, shredded carrots, and thinly sliced red onion Add vinegar, hot water, oregano, and salt Mix and cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest overnight (or a few hours) Salsa Ingredients: 4-5 large roma tomatoes 1/4 white onion 4 chiles de árbol 1 tbsp oregano Salt to taste 3 tbsp oil Process: Add water to a pot and add in tomatoes, onion, and chiles de árbol Boil 10 minutes Allow to cool, remove and discard skins from tomatoes Blend tomatoes along with onion, chiles, oregano, and salt Add oil to a pan and set to medium high heat Once oil is hot add in salsa and stir Allow to simmer 3-4 minutes, taste for salt and turn off heat, salsa is ready! Pupusa Masa Ingredients: 3 cups Maseca flour 1 cup Pan flour 4 1/2 cups hot water (more or less, masa should be very smooth) 1 tsp salt 1/3 cup Oil (for hands so that the masa doesn’t stick while forming our pupusas) Process: In a large bowl, add in your Maseca, Pan, salt, and 3 cups of water Begin kneading the masa, at least 6 minutes of strong kneading (I put two songs on and measured my time that way) If your masa is not smooth and soft add in the addition cup of water, the masa should have no lumps and should not stick to your fingers Once ready dip your fingers in oil or water and coat your hands so that the masa will not stick, grab masa, about 3-4 tbsp in size and roll into a ball, using your thumb create a dip in the middle and add your filling of choice, I used beans and cheese, pinch your pupusa shut and remove any excess masa Flatten the pupusas by slapping it between your palms until even and your desired size is reached Place your pupusas on a hot comal and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side Enjoy your yummy pupusas!

  2. Espresso Martini Jell-O Shots✨ 👉🏽 SAVE this post to make tomorrow! ⬇️ recipe below These espresso martini Jell-O shots are rich, creamy, and dangerously easy to make — the perfect little treat for tomorrow's celebration! Makes an 8" x 8" tray 1.5 cups espresso or cold brew concentrate 3 packets gelatin 3/4 cup vodka 1/4 cup simple syrup 3/4 cup coffee liquor 3/4 cup Baileys 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional) To a saucepan add espresso and gelatin packets and let bloom for 1-2 minutes. Do not mix. Warm the saucepan over medium heat and stir for 2-3 minutes until all of the gelatin has dissolved. Do not boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Add the vodka and simple syrup to the saucepan and mix. Then divide the mixture in two bowls evenly. Add the coffee liquor to one bowl and the baileys + *room temp* heavy cream to the other. Note: the heavy cream can curdle if it is too cold so if you're using try to bring to room temp first or temper with a little of the baileys mixture before adding. Spray an 8" x 8" pan with a neutral oil to help prevent sticking. Pour the darker mixture in the pan and refrigerate for about 20 minutes. You want the first layer to be set but still tacky so the layers adhere to each other. Then pour the baileys mixture on top and return to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) or until completely set. Flip pan upside down to remove and slice into squares as big or small as you would like. Garnish each square with a coffee bean and enjoy! #espressomartini #jelloshots #newyearshosting #holidayhosting #cocktailideas #easyentertaining #hostessideas #partyrecipes #newyearseve
