All of us have something that really gets us excited, I'll tell you, for me it's this cake. You may be wondering why I have waited so long to post it. Let's just say I didn't want to share all my best recipes at once. There are many ways you can tackle this,if you're not a round cake fan you can also do it in a 9x13 pan and slice it down the middle and then fill it. Whatever you like. I know you will love this recipe. I usually have a little whipping cream leftover. I just put it in the fridge and we use it to put on top of our hot chocolate.
See you in the kitchen,

TINGA
I remember the first time I had this. Our family was at a party with friends my husband went to high school with. I distinctly remember this specific dish sitting on the table, I'll be honest, it really didn't look like something I was willing to try. My friend Stacey assured me that I would love it. A little hesitant I took a bite. Boy was she right! I loved it. I'm not a fan of cabbage but I really like this. After the party I had to have Cesar's friend that made it over to the house to teach me how to make it. That was several years ago and we have been loving it ever since. The best part...it's so easy to make!

ROLES DE CANELA
Although these are not 100% traditional Mexican they have earned their place on the married to a Mexican site. These are Senor's favorite and if he loves them I know you will. ( He's really picky, but shhhhhh you didn't hear that from me.) I'm so excited for you to try these. If you're not a fan of nuts leave them out, if you like raisins add some before you roll the dough up. Either way you do it I know that you can't go wrong with these. I need to give a little shout out to Phil for teaching me how to make this wonderful dough. You can also use the dough to make some of the best rolls you'll ever have.

TAMALES VERDES
Hey there! This one has been a request for some time,sorry it has taken me so long to do these. Making tamales is not hard it is just a time commitment. There are short cuts I share in the video to cut some time out,but I still felt I should share the traditional way with you. Making tamales is a act of service and love for those that receive them. In fact I was thinking that some homemade tamales would make a great Valentines gift for the Mexican in your life. Take your time and get the whole family in the kitchen to help you. This is a great weekend project. This recipe will make 25-30 tamales if this is too many for your family to eat place the extras in a zip lock bag and they will keep for up to a month in the freezer.
Good Luck!

CARNITAS
Ohhh Yummy! I can gurantee you will be asking for seconds after you try this. Some people like to do this in a crock pot. I'll be honest, for this one you need to use the oven mainly because you will cook it uncovered for the last 30 minutes. You want the meat to crisp up a bit at the end and with a crock pot this really does not work too well.

This recipe will fool any Mexican into believing you spent all day in the kitchen. Shhhhhh this will be our little secret. What they don't know won't hurt their belly one bit.

Also don't forget a pinch of salt.

SOPA DE FIDEO
After I finished making this video I had a last minute thought I wanted to share. If you want this soup to take the place of a main dish, you can always add some carrots and potatoes after you add the water. I have made it this way several times. This is also very typical for Mexicans to do. Watch for Aries' disappearing act! It's quite funny!
