Feature Post LIVE, LOVE, & EAT in SAYULITA- Recipe for Grilled Fish in Parchment Paper
August 22, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
Have you ever eaten or made fish “en papillote”? I hadn’t until a recent trip to Tonela, where just by luck we happened upon a restaurant that had it on the menu! I fell in love with the wonderful, delicate, and flavorful fish so much that we went the next day so that I could order it again. I had to figure out how to be able to make this dish at home in Sayulita so that we could enjoy it. I was delighted to find out that this is one of the simplest meals to make, and can be prepared with a nice filet of white fish or even salmon. No need to turn on a hot oven in our humid Sayulita climate. This fish cooks beautifully on your barbecue or grill—a perfect meal on a hot Sayulita summer day.

Feature Post LIVE, LOVE, & EAT in SAYULITA- Recipe for Spatchcock Chicken
July 27, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN you say!? What does “spatchcock” mean to us home cooks? "While the indirect grill and rotisserie methods are great for roasting a whole chicken, nothing can beat the flame-charred smokiness of chicken pieces grilled directly over a fire. There is a way to do this and I learned it in one of the world's most unlikely barbecue destinations: Paris. The technique is spatchcocking and it looks as theatrical as it sounds. You cut out the backbone and open the bird flat, like a book. This makes the whole chicken thin enough to grill directly over the fire." —Steven Raichlen, “How To Grill”

Have you ever looked at a label of an item at a grocery store and read the list of ingredients? How surprised were you by all of the names that you did not recognize? All too often, we see ingredients in our food that sound like something you’d use in a chemistry lab experiment. These same foods with ingredients we can’t even pronounce sometimes end up on menus in restaurants. However, at Veggie Land, one of Sayulita’s newest restaurants which opened in 2017, you can be assured that all of the ingredients used in their menu are natural, real, and fresh.

May 10, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
Pizza has always been my favorite go-to food when I want something special, so I absolutely needed a Ketogenic Friendly Pizza Crust. I have already given you a Cauliflower Crust Recipe, and I really like it, but I have recently found my perfect crust. Tastes so much like the real deal! Although a weird name, in my opinion (it's called a Fathead pizza crust), I decided to give it a try, and I am more than happy that I did. It is fantastic; thin, crispy, easy to make, and to top it off, this crust tastes delicious! Your Sayulita family and friends will be shocked when you tell them that this is a wonderful low carb treat.
