This past week I had a catering order in Sayulita for a special birthday cake. The husband wanted a vanilla cake with a buttercream frosting and said that if I could make it for him, he would be a hero in his wife’s eyes, as it was her birthday. I had never made either a vanilla cake, nor buttercream frosting before, but decided to give it a go! After lots of research the result was a most delicious cake. I was very proud of how yummy and beautiful this cake turned out, and I knew that I just had to share it with you here today. A friendly warning: the French buttercream icing I made uses a lot of butter...after-all, the icing is called BUTTERcream for a reason. I realize that this recipe may be a bit complicated for many of you, but I can guarantee that if you do make it, you will thank me!

Las Mujeres de Sayulita is a growing and powerful group of women in the Sayulita community working together to bring environmental awareness and action to our Pueblo Magico. Many stores in the community as well as our neighboring areas such as Punta de Mita are already implementing the “no more plastic bag” idea, but more work is needed in order to spread awareness, and help reduce plastic waste. The Mujeres’ first and recent project as a team was to reduce the use of plastic bags in our community, and it has proven to be a large success. Working in coordination with the 9th grade students at Colegio Costa Verde school, they have helped to reduce the amount of plastic bags used in Sayulita by providing a program for reusable canvas bags, and a plan for how the local stores and tiendas can use them.

Mar Plata Restaurant in San Pancho, which first opened its doors in 2005, is known for its interesting fusion of Mexican, Argentinian, and Belgian cuisine served in a unique and rustic setting. With a variety of menu items, from steak and seafood to pasta, and specialty house-made craft cocktails, Mar Plata Restaurant is not what most would expect to find in San Pancho, just minutes away from Sayulita. I ask the head chef, Ramses Manneck, and lead mixologist, Tony Galea, to tell me more about the restaurant & their experiences in the industry.

Chili Relleno is one of my most favorite Mexican dishes, and they are so easy to make here in Sayulita, as the poblano peppers are available at almost every tienda in town. The traditional chili relleno is a stuffed pepper that is breaded, deep fried, and smothered in a red sauce. My friend Susana was here last week, and she introduced me to her version; it is a deconstructed chili relleno with a lovely soufflé topping and a delicious homemade salsa verde. I just knew that I had to share this recipe with you today!

I LOVE COOKIES: peanut butter, shortbread, chocolate chip, etc.; there are so many possibilities! Today I want to share with you the most delicious cookie recipe: PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS. All of the ingredients for these cookies are available here in Sayulita, perhaps with the exception of the Chocolate Kisses, which you can always find at Mega. I can just visualize you sitting on your Sayulita patio enjoying these cookies as an afternoon delight with a glass of very chilled Prosecco or an ice cold glass of milk!
