Larb Gai

This is my hairstylist's mom's secret recipe for Thai larb gai and it is the best! Boiling the ground chicken or turkey instead of stir frying it keeps it moist and helps the meat absorb all the beautiful flavors. Can be served hot or cold with any type of greens or lettuce. You can even serve it with rice.

Dorito Casserole

This dorito casserole is slightly reminiscent of chilaquiles and perfect for a weeknight dinner. Have fun customizing the taste by selecting a different dorito flavor.

Isa's Cola de Mono

This is a traditional Chilean Christmastime drink of milk flavored with coffee and spices, passed down to me by our Chilean nanny Isa. It is delicious, and a must-try if you don't care for egg-nog. The recipe can be varied to suit your tastes - be creative with the proportions of coffee, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla, as well as with your choice of liqueurs.

Grandma's Fudge Sauce

Grew up with this basic recipe and, for me, it is still one of the best.

Pineapple Flip

This is a pie baked on a jelly-roll pan. Great for a large family gathering.
