OOOPS I did it again

Roasted veggies, they're amazing.  SO I had some cauliflower that I wanted to roast. I always stress a little about chopping the cauliflower, it doesn't go in nice little trees like broccoli does. This time I decided to just chop it up without regard to looking like a tree. 


Then, I go through the fridge to see what else I can throw in. I had some tomatoes that are aging, it's a good time to roast them! Added some mushrooms, asparagus and a few cloves of garlic. It looks like this:
I sprinkled a little EVOO, my fav lime salt and some pepper then pop into the 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Here's a tip: SET A TIMER!  It is only 25 minutes, you're not going anywhere, of course you will remember you have delicious mouth watering veggies in the oven right? Well, I'm here to tell ya, no matter how excited you are to see how your concoction turns out, an hour can easily slip by without even a thought of what deliciousness is in the oven! YES, I did it! AGAIN, this would  be the THIRD time I've charred my batch of veggies.  Why? How? I do not know, it's really not that hard to set the timer, I honestly think I will remember.  UGH

I did salvage most of the cauliflower, but the mushrooms and asparagus, forget about it. Some of the tomatoes peeled off the pan in tact, but most were lost...I was SO BUMMED dang it!  LOL

Give roasted veggies a try, have you done it yet?  Let me know.  And for goodness sake, SET YOUR TIMER.

Todos Santos Mexico

I can't stop thinking about my trip to Mexico in January...Thought I'd share some pictures of great food and drinks we had!


My first ever chile relleno first night in Todos Santos at Miguels...the BEST chile relleno, this was made with fresh lobster, it was pretty amazing.

Breakfast at Casa Tota, our hotel in Todos Santos.  Huevos a la benedictina so fresh and delish! Little potatoes and some refried beans on the side.  Around the edge of the plate is an oil with fresh basil, it was so good!






Machaca, marinated beef, cooked and shredded then dried. It can be served in tacos, burritos and in scrambled eggs. This tasted so good!!


LOBSTER!  Isn't it weird looking? I'd never seen a lobster like this before.
