Look who is cooking with us...

Some good friends of mine from the OC where looking to make some guacamole. I introduced them to our blog and away they went cooking! Here is what my friend Karen wrote: "Tonight Steve made your guac, your salsa and your bisteck picado. One of the best meals I've had in a looong time. Yum!" Karen and Steve are long time friends and I was over joyed that they cooked from our recipes here. And they shared the wealth, gifting jars of salsa to family.

We love when people cook off the blog. We hope you enjoy cooking with us and continue to share our recipes with others.

Here's to some good food!

Bisteck Picado

This is one of my all time favorites. My Nana made it the best. She took her time to dice everything super fine and let it simmer. I on the other hand have a hard time simmering! This is a great summer dish and often we eat it at dinner but we have been known to eat it for breakfast as well. My mom likes to make it for breakfast. Here we made the steak for tacos and had them on corn tortillas with beans and guacamole. Great Taco Tuesday dinner to invite friends over to.
