Once only associated with especially health-conscious or even religious lifestyles, there has been a sharp rise over the past few years in those who adopt a vegan diet part-time - forgoing meat, fish and dairy on certain days of the week only.

How to Make Flour Tortilla | Vegan, Quick & Easy Recipe
Hola amigos! A few days ago I released a recipe video for my homemade flour tortillas. I was going to write a brand new blog post to go with the video, but when I read through the words I shared in an old Spicie Foodie post from 2011, I simply couldn't write a new blog entry.

Vegan Alfredo Sauce (receta de salsa alfredo vegana)
When I think of Alfredo sauce I picture a thick creamy, cheesy sauce that’s heavy, decadent and quite delicious. Many of us may also picture the ancient Italian buildings and sitting down at a quaint restaurant somewhere on a square in beautiful Italy. But if we were to order fettuccine Alfredo in Italy we’d be served a dish different from the one most of us think of. In Italy, Alfredo sauce is simply buttered pasta with grated parmesan cheese, and as the parmesan melts into the pasta it ... continue reading...

My 1st Day of the Dead Altar and a Vegan Take on Mucbipollo
You may be a tad confused by the title of this posts, perhaps asking how can this be my first Day of the Dead Altar.

My parents took us to the cemetery and also to mass and that was pretty much the extent of our Día de Muertos celebration. Now as an adult I haven't been a Catholic for many years so of ... continue reading...

I'm not sure if other people Latin American countries also eat this breakfast, so to me it is a very Mexican one. I've never been a big fan of hot dogs, and when I used to eat the "meat" ... continue reading...
