Monday ~ Southwest Flavors

I grew-up around delicious Tex-Mex South-West cuisine. The recipes are influenced by Spanish settlers, Native Americans, and frontier Cowboys. My father and uncles would grill every weekend and fill the house with rustic aromas. They would grill beef fajitas, BBQ chicken, and sausage. My mother and aunts would inside cooking chili, rice, beans, stuffed bell peppers, burritos, taco salads, nachos, salsa, and fresh tortillas.

I love the vibrant use of color and bold use of textures in home decor. I try to capture the same essence fiestas, food, and fun, in my apron designs. I believe that life should include a celebration of those who came before us. I give honor to the brave American settlers that pioneered across the country and thank the Native Indians for giving us a spirit pride.

Add 4 to 5 tablespoons light rum, 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice; mix well. Fill glass with ice cubes and 4 to 6 tablespoons chilled soda water. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
