I just received these pictures from my most recent customer and newest friend!! We recently met (just last night 😝) on a local neighborhood group where we connected and food was shared. Loving that people are loving my food and continually wanting to enjoy it over and over again. What a blessing and what an honor!!

Thanks to all who support me in this venture and others... Who are here for me and help and love and support me through all of it. I am better because of you! ❤️❤️

***P.S. Keep the orders coming. I’m pretty much always cooking everything! So let me know what you want and when and let’s keep this party going. (And don’t forget to send pics!!!) 😊

Just a reminder to get your orders in. Offering Taquitos AND Tamales this time. For anyone who may have missed out on the last couple rounds or who might need to restock their fridges and freezers, now is the time. I have more than enough ingredients and nothing but time, so figure out what you need and let me know. And thanks for supporting me and my crazy antics through this venture. 😊🙌

08/09/2020

With all this crazy windy weather (pnw friends know) comes a feeling of fall. And with fall comes an innate desire to head to the kitchen to create warmth and comfort and sustenance. So, with that said... “IT’S TIME!!” (Btw that very well may be the name of my future establishment... 🤷‍♀️). So, it’s back to the kitchen I go to create all of the yummy things for all of us. First up, a quick batch of tamales for friends who skipped or got missed last time around. Those will be ready in a couple days. You’re welcome to get in that list if you’re needing to replenish you stock. There are a few friends who need to replenish their stock of tamales so I will be throwing together a few of those in the next couple days and you are welcome to add your name to the list if you need/want more. Otherwise....

IT’S TAQUITO TIME!!! I had a lot of positive feedback last time and know that some of you have been patiently waiting for the next round. Well, it’s time 🙌. Details and prices are as follows:

Taquitos (pork carnitas or chicken) $15/dozen.
Rice and beans $5/pint or $10/quart.
Salsa included but extra can be purchased for $4/half pint.

**Now also offering a new option , a dinner plate, for those who don’t want or need a ton. Consists of 4 taquitos and a side each of rice and beans, and of course, salsa. $10/plate.

I will be taking orders between now and next Wednesday, September 16th. Orders will be ready late next week. Let me know if you’d like any or all of the above 😊😊. (Photo credit goes to one of my lovely customers who sent me this pic of her dinner last taquito time. Thank you for sharing ! 😉😌)

As this last food event (the pork and hominy soup... pozole) comes to a close, I just wanted to thank you all, yet again, for all your support and friendship and love and for believing in me and joining me on this little journey. Many of those who ordered this time around had never even heard of pozole, much less tried it!! And yet, they had enough faith in me and my product that they were pretty sure they would like it. That’s so crazy!!! And powerful!!!! And very humbling. It’s just an honor to do this and serve you all. It’s a joy and pleasure to conversate and get my social fixes during pick ups. It’s just been a blessing and a fun ride so thank you all and I’ll see you all next food round..... 🙌

And if anyone needs any more soup or wants to try it, let me know. I have a few quarts left.

03/08/2020

Sooooo much soup!!!!!! 🙌😊😝

29/07/2020

Who’s ready for pozole??? It’s one of my favorites and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you all!!! Pozole is a yummy red soup made with pork and hominy and served with garnishings like cabbage, onion and lime. It’s delicious!! I recommend that you try it now if you haven’t before because you’ve absolutely been missing out and may end up loving it like I did. And if you’re already a fan.... you already know. 🙌😁

So, next week will be pozole week and it will be ready by Tuesday. It is $10/quart (which serves 2-3 depending on who and how hungry 😝), and comes with all the fixins (chopped cabbage, diced onions, and lime), as well as a side of tortilla chips. So let me know how many you’d like and I’ll add you to the list 😊😊. And for those who like to plan ahead, it freezes beautifully!!! Just throw in a pot on the stove or in the microwave to reheat and voila!!! Ok, let the games begin....

13/07/2020

Just a reminder to get your orders in by Thursday 😊🙌😊.

10/07/2020

Alrighty food fans, the votes are in and the verdict is.....

It’s TAMALE TIME!! 🙌🙌

(For those who are/were wanting pozole, I will be making the yummy soup as soon as this next round of tamales is completed. Feel free to pre-order at $10 a quart (comes with all the “fixins.”)

Otherwise, those who want tamales, I will be taking orders from now through next Thursday, 7/16, and they will be ready the following week. If you have a particular day/date that you’re wanting/needing your orders, let me know when ordering and I will try to accommodate. Otherwise, depending on when orders come in and how many I get, I will give you more of an idea as to when your particular order will be ready.

This time, I will be making the traditional red and green pork or chicken tamales as well as cheese and jalapeño. Buttttt.... I’m also adding my personal favorite and something I’ve never offered before (don’t ask me why 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️), the “DELUXE!” It’s the best! A combination of both worlds. Meat (chicken or pork) and sauce (red or green) WITH cheese and jalapeño. So good (I never eat them any other way anymore)!! I highly recommend them, although they are a little bit more $$$.

Unfortunately, due to the increase in cost of ingredients and inflation over time, I have to increase prices slightly (sorry new friends 😬). Soooo.... Regular Tamales will now be $24 a dozen and deluxe tamales will be $30. I hate doing it, but I hate even more the thought of not being able to provide all the deliciousness that we have all come to rely and depend on (self included). Dang tamale addiction 😆😝🤷‍♀️.

Here are your tamale options simplified:

REGULAR FLAVORS - $24/dozen
1. Red pork
2. Red chicken
3. Green pork
4. Green chicken
5. Cheese and jalapeño

DELUXE FLAVORS - $30/dozen
6. Red pork with cheese and jalapeño
7. Red chicken with cheese and jalapeño
8. Green pork with cheese and jalapeño
9. Green chicken with cheese and jalapeño

So let me know how many and what kind and let’s get this party started. Ready, set, GOOOOO!! 🙌😊

27/06/2020

All right my friends... Time to take a poll! I had planned on making my all-time favorite soup (pozole) the next go round and then it got warm outside and not sure it’s feeling much like soup weather but wondering what you all think. Now, mind you... I made it for me and mine just last week 😝. So, I’m wondering what everybody thinks. I need to cook again. It’s time. Lots of shifts and changes going on and took a few weeks off but back at it. So, pozole (pork soup with hominy and yummy red broth with all the “fixins”) or tamales?? Depending on what feedback I get, I will make one or the other or both next week. Let me know your thoughts. The more feedback the better. Thank you thank you!

27/05/2020

** Last call for Taquitos, rice, beans and salsa!!!

And can I say.... WOW!!! What an adventure this has been so far!!! Thanks to all who have trusted in and supported me ALWAYS, and to all who have allowed me the opportunity to provide food for you and your families this week with the rollout of this new menu item!!! It’s been incredible!!!... And a little crazy 🤪!!! It took a couple of days to work out the kinks and details, but i can finally say with confidence.... I’ve got this!! And thanks to all of the amazing feedback, I will be offering this menu option again in the future. 🙌😊😄

But for now, it’s nearing the end of the first round of Taquitos and I wanted to offer one last opportunity to get in on it before I close up the “Taquito shop” and transition to the next “new menu item shop.” 🙌😊

Also, keep an eye out for GIVEAWAYS and FREEBIES coming soon 😱🙏🏼🤗!!! I wanna give away food.... and who doesn’t love free food?!?! 🤷‍♀️🙏🏼😊 Stay tuned!!

Taquitos 12 for $15
Pint of rice $5
