We don’t usually get excited about salads, but this recipe will change your mind!

This easy dish will wow your palate, and take you no more than a few minutes to throw together (not including prep time). Simply start by boiling or roasting beets, I like to purchase a variety of golden and regular beets at our local Sayulita Friday farmers market. I then like to prep seasoned olive oil, chop some garlic, and rosemary, add salt and pepper to taste, and saute for a few minutes until the garlic is golden brown. Using a thick greek unsweetened yogurt, spoon a generous amount onto the plate, lay sliced beets on top, and drizzle with…

We then tried the new duck dish, confit duck leg, brussel sprout leaf,…

The pumpkin spice loaf is here! It’s officially Autumn in Sayulita which doesn’t exactly mean whipping out your wooly hats, but, it does mean relatively cooler weather. I jumped at the opportunity to celebrate with an Autumn-inspired loaf. Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees Line an 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Step 2 Add butter to a saucepan and place over medium heat. The butter will begin to crackle and then foam. Make sure you whisk constantly during this process. After a couple of minutes,…

September in Sayulita tends to be one long hot steamy month, and what could be better than a light, healthy breakfast to start the day? Let me introduce you to Turkish eggs. I know what you’re thinking… yogurt and eggs? But let me assure you this is one of the best combinations I’ve ever had and it is now officially my favorite breakfast/brunch/midday snack. Picture this, a creamy dollop of labneh/yogurt, two perfectly poached eggs, drizzled (heavily) with chili garlic butter, topped with herby za’atar, optional goats cheese, salt, and pepper accompanied by some warm toasted bread. Voila! This dish…
