Have you heard?! I will be releasing TWO new cookbooks in 2021! I am so excited about this milestone in my professional life. It’s been 9 years in the making and I couldn’t be more excited. One thing is for sure, the books will focus on Mexican food, of course!
I can’t give too much details about the books just yet. But I will definitely be updating you here and in my social channels. Also don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter. I won’t spam you. You’ll receive an email from me about once a month letting you know about what is going on in my cookbook writing and recipe development process.

Because it was such a busy week full of conference calls and planning, dinner had to be quick. I whipped up an old family favorite and set up a full dinner spread.
This cheese tortellini vegetable soup can be made with ground beef, “beefy” crumbles and even pieces of sausage. I decided to keep mine full of vegetables and load it up with shredded parmesan cheese.
I know we are in the middle of the summer and in the middle of a very humid heat wave but I had been craving this soup for a while now. It’s ready in under 30 minutes so that wasn’t too much time standing in front of a hot stove for me. It was all worth it.
Thank you so much for supporting my humble little blog these last 9 years. I’m really excited to share my next milestone with you. This could not have happened with out your love and support.
Stay tuned for updates. Sending lots of love your way!
