Paletas de Coco

Quick, easy and probably the best you will ever taste! No joke! Mr. Mexican was in such a hurry to eat these that he threw one on a plate and video taped it while I was gone so he and the kids could eat them, hence the lovely display at the end! Nice job sweetie! Watch out food stylists everywhere Mr Mexican has arrived with all his skills.

I wish I had some control over the still shots blogger videos choose for me! Don't I look hot? It looks like something I'm cooking smells really bad. I promise this wasn't the case. Let's all laugh at how funny I look! I sure hope you are thirsty because today we are making a simply delicious drink. This is so easy your toddler could make it.

I think Mr. Mexican decided I had said enough and just cut me off at the end! (he cuts the videos) What can I say I have a big mouth, somebody had to do it.

See you in the kitchen,

1/2 watermelon

1 cup sugar (use splendor if you want it to be low cal)

Pollo con Chochoyotes

First let me start off with a little shout out to Mia! Mia I am having issues uploading the Tamales video I made last week. It was a little too long and I had to cut it into two separate uploads. It has ended up pretty much taking me out of my mind, but hang in there I will get it up soon! Alright back to the rest of you. This is another request I have received multiple times and I am finally getting it up. I know you will really love this recipe but I need to warn you it is a little more difficult to make then it looks. I hope you are up to the challenge, I know you can do it. The Chochoyotes can be a bit of a pain to work with so be patient. After you place them in the pot let them slowly cook for about 10-15 minutes until they float up to the top of the pot, this is how you will know they are ready.

BTW I gave up and put it in youtube! I hate putting my vids there but until I can figure out the problem I guess it's better then nothing.

See you in the kitchen,
Tina
