  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!

  1. STEAMED RICE PAPER DUMPLINGS (GF / DF) ✨ The most flavorful dumplings you will ever try and the perfect gluten free alternative to a traditional dumpling wrapper. I love how the rice paper gets perfectly chewy and stays light from steaming instead of frying. And let’s be honest, pretty much anything would be irresistible if you serve it with this dipping sauce! Save and follow @caitlinjesson for easy gluten free and dairy free recipes. 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed and minced 3 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced 4 cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup chives, finely chopped 2 tsp low sodium tamari 1 tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch Pinch of black pepper 15-20 sheets of rice paper Sauce: 2 tbsp chili crisp ⅓ cup rice vinegar ⅓ cup low sodium tamari 2 cloves garlic, grated 1 tbsp coconut sugar 4 green onions, finely chopped ¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped ¼ cup avocado oil To make sauce, combine ingredients in a medium sized bowl and whisk until combined. To make dumpling filling, add shrimp, ginger, garlic, chives, soy sauce, arrowroot and pepper to a bowl and mix well. Fill a large bowl with water then generously wet a cutting board and set it next to your bowl. Line a steaming basket or a plate with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Dip a piece of rice paper into your water bowl. Allow it to soak for 5-10 seconds until it begins to soften slightly. At the rice paper to your cutting board then fold all four of the edges in to form a square. Add 1 heaping tbsp of filling to the center of the rice paper square then fold all of the corners in towards the center and press them together to seal the filling in the dumpling. Transfer dumpling to steaming basket and repeat with remaining dumplings. You will need to steam in two batches. If using a steaming basket, bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot then place steaming basket on top and steam for 10 minutes. If using a plate, bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a heat safe bowl to the water upside down then set the plate on top of the bowl. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.

  2. BONE BROTH SMOTHERED CHICKEN (GF / DF) ✨ A southern classic made a little healthier but still one of the most comforting meals you will ever make. This one is super simple, it just needs a little time to get fall-off-the-bone tender in the oven. Perfect for meal prep or batch cooking for the week and a great way to get a ton of protein in with every meal! Save and follow @caitlinjesson for easy gluten free and dairy free recipes. 3 lbs bone in skin on chicken thighs and/or drumsticks 1 tsp salt 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp black pepper 2-3 tbsp olive oil ½ yellow onion, thinly sliced 6-8 sprigs fresh thyme 2 cups chicken bone broth 2 tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch Cooked white rice, for serving Preheat oven to 350°F. Add chicken to roasting dish and season with salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil then toss well until evenly coated. Add onions and thyme then pour bone broth into your pan. Avoid pouring it directly over the chicken so that the seasonings do not come off of the chicken. Cover and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove chicken from the oven and discard the sprigs of thyme. Pour as much of the broth into a separate bowl as possible and set chicken aside. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Add ¼ cup chicken drippings to a small bowl along with arrowroot and whisk until smooth to make a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the bowl with the rest of your chicken drippings then pour the gravy over your chicken and toss well until evenly coated. Return the chicken to the oven uncovered for 20 minutes longer, basting every 5 minutes (optional) until golden brown and gravy has thickened. Serve over rice. #food #foodie #glutenfree #dairyfree #cooking #recipe #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes

  1. ‼️ Costco has a NEW Disneyland Resort ticket offer that’s slated for release by mid-May 2025‼️ Based on the information provided to us (a source from Costco), the offer will become available on May 19, 2025 (though it seems there is a *slight* chance some locations will see the tickets as early as May 12)! The tickets should become available in all “LA mainland” Costco locations. No word at this time if this will be available for purchase online. (PLEASE NOTE that all information provided in this post is current as of the date and time of this post and may change at any time!) The Costco offer will include a 3-DAY Disneyland Resort Park Hopper ticket, Lightning Lane pass upgrade AND a $30 dining credit for $449.99 👏🏻 Based on the current admission prices for the Disneyland Resort, a 3-day Park Hopper ticket, with Lightning Lane attached, ranges anywhere from about $550 to $600 (this range includes the low Children prices and the “Disneyland Anniversary 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket” up to the higher-cost Adult tickets) – and this $550-600 range does NOT take into account the $30 dining credit included in Costco’s offer! This roughly translates to about a 20%-25% discount depending on which 3-day Park Hopper Ticket you’re looking at! The 3 days of admission must be used within 14 days of each other (14-day window starts from the date you use the first ticket). The info regarding the exact time frame in which the 3-day Park Hopper can be used has yet to be released. We were also provided with the Costco Item Number for this offer, but it looks like the item number has yet to be linked in Costco’s Item Number Search web page – so for now we’re holding off on providing the number. This offer kicks in immediately after the first weekend of Disneyland Park’s 70th Anniversary Weekend (May 16, 17, and 18) – so this is perfect timing for those who wanted to visit the parks during this time! Be sure to bookmark and come back to this post for any potential updates about this offer!

  3. Football season is officially here!!! and these upside down pepperoni puff pastries with hot honey are the easiest game day appetizer. Crispy, cheesy, saucy, and honestly so addicting. Put a plate of these in front of me and they’ll be gone before halftime. All you need is pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and puff pastry baked until golden perfection. What you’ll need : •1 sheet puff pastry, thawed @pepperidgefarm •24 pepperoni slices (about 4 per pastry) •freshly shredded mozzarella (or 6 small chunks of fresh mozzarella) •pizza sauce (I love @raoshomemade ) •1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) •pizza seasoning ( I used @mccormickspice) •Hot honey, for drizzling @mikeshothoney •Freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano •Fresh basil leaves Comment “PIZZA” and I’ll DM you the recipe. ❤️ 1. You’re gonna start with a sheet of puff pastry. Cut it into 6 rectangles. 2. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, lay down about 4 slices of pepperoni, overlapping a little so they make a base. 3. Add some mozzarella cheese on top ( shredded or a small chunk both work) 4. Spoon a little pizza sauce over the cheese. 5. Now place one of those puff pastry rectangles right on top. Press the edges down with your fingers so it’s sealed. If you want to be fancy, you can crimp the edges with a fork. 6. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with pizza seasoning. 7. Bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and puffed. 8. Flip them over so the pepperoni side is showing, drizzle with hot honey, then finish with fresh parm and basil. ENJOY
