welcome to my tortillaria.

hello.

my name is sarah grace,

and i love mexican food.

especially homemade tortillas.

 

when i saw this super simple whole wheat tortilla recipe on one of my favorite blogs,

from the natos, and just had to try it.

 

 

i most likely won't be opening a tortillaria in the near future,

but not bad for a first timer.

they aren't exactly round,

but they tasted pretty yummy!

bub-hub didn't complain, but then again....he never does! :)

 

 have you ever made homemade tortillas?

 

mmmmmm cookies! :)

prepare yourself for greatness folks.
everyone has their go-to cookie recipe and this is mine.
i may or may not be eating a few as i type...
these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are so yummy straight out of the oven,
or for a snack the next day,
or for breakfast.
oatmeal. duh.

1 cup butter

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups wheat flour

3 cups old fashioned oats

1ish cup chocolate chips

[one] preheat over to 350degrees.

[two] in a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium for about 30 seconds, then add sugars, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

[three] once combined, mix in eggs and vanilla. 

[four] add in the flour and oats slowly and mix until completely incorporated.

[five] then, stir in the chocolate chips.

[six] using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop the cookies onto a baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart from each other, and put in the oven.  

[seven] bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are slightly browned. 

[eight] remove the cookies from the oven and place on a cooling rack or paper towels to cool.

[nine] eat 'em up!

maybe you can make a dozen or three for your sweet treat swap partner! :)you can still sign up! so do it!

conquering the omelet

omelets + sunday mornings = meant to be.

when bub-hub and i were in mexico for the honeymoon, every morning, without fail, you could find us at the omelet station. fresh tortillas, fresh veggies, real mexican cheese. can't beat it.

this video kind of inspired me.

i've always been intimidated by omelets.

mostly becauase i'm a messy cook to begin with,

and eggs, in any form other than scrambled, just make me nervous.

maybe i'll try it. in honor of martha.

what do you like in your omelets?
