Hola y Hello

My husband may have grown up in Guatemala, but his palate is definitely Mexican. Which isn't surprising considering his mom is Mexican and therefore cooked almost entirely Mexican cuisine. Since we've been married, I have tried to be intentional about incorporating Mexican-style dishes into our meal rotation. I am nowhere near the cocinera that my suegra is, but I have pushed myself to try recipes like enmoladas , arroz mexicano , and manjar . Now that we have kids and are no longer living near my in-laws it is even more of a priority to include Mexican dishes in our weekly meal plan. I usually aim to make one or two things a week. A few of my favorite resources to find recipes are blogs (like  Mexico in my Kitchen or Flan and Apple Pie ) and The Mexican Slow Cooker cookbook. That is where I found the recipe I tried today for Enchiladas Suizas . We really enjoyed them, especially topped with some Mexican crema and guacamole, and I will definitely be adding this easy recipe...

1 ,  2 ,  3 ,  4 ,  5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 I love reading, and I hope to instill this same love for books into my kids too. Some of my favorite moments as a mom are when my little ones bring me a book and climb into my lap to hear me read it to them. Our book collection is growing steadly over the years, and I try to be very intentional about having books in both English and Spanish. That said, I also rely on checking out books from the library to supplement the ones we have at home. I thought I would share a round-up of some fun board books we've enjoyed reading in the past. 1: This book has such cute illustrations, and Micah loves to point to the pictures and hear me say the words in English and Spanish. I love to give him lots of kisses as we read! 2: This little book has flaps to find out how different animals move. 3: This one is a favorite around our house, and I've read it so many times I now have it memorized! 4: This was one of Micah...
