Pepian

Tamarind Martinis

This cocktail was served at my wedding when I married in Antigua, Guatemala. It was my signature drink at the wedding and my showers. I love it because its sweet, while tart with a kick of heat because of the chili rimmed glass.
Pan de Elote
by Melissa Pitts
Mexican corn bread is very different from your typical American corn bread. It's a wet mixture that has very little flour and instead of sugar- sweetened condensed milk. As I've said in previous posts- anything that calls for a can of sweetened condensed milk MUST be good.

Who can resist this classic dish with rich, creamy rice, sweet milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon? This treat is simple to make, dirt cheap, and impresses the crowds. Of course you can add whatever you like but I like to keep it simple by adding some almonds and raisins. Buen provecho!

Strawberry Horchata
by Melissa Pitts
Who didn't grow up drinking horchata? And, while most of us only know the powdered stuff or the already made sweet and creamy drink, it's extremely easy to make and much healthier. When you make it at home you control the sweetness and experiment with different flavors.
