November 20, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
Hotel Paraiso is one of the newest hotels currently being built in Sayulita. With a growing number of construction projects in Sayulita on hotels and tourist accomodations, at times it can feel as though our small Pueblo is shrinking and becoming overpopulated with similar buildings and infrastructure. Hotel Paraiso, however, is incredibly unique in its concept and vision, and is a hotel that will positively benefit our community. I speak with the owner, Alejandro, about the hotel and its unique qualities which make it stand out in Sayulita.

November 12, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
I have been cooking and baking yummy food for so long now, and there are so many tips I have learned through the years that can help make your cooking and kitchen tasks much easier. I thought that sharing some of my tips would make for an interesting column. There are many books out there that have “pro-tips” on cooking and baking; these are the ones that I have found most useful for the everyday cook. In Sayulita, we love to live and play outdoors as much as possible, so any tips that can help make our food easier to prepare is welcome! As Martha Stewart says, “it’s a good thing!”

Feature Post LIVE, LOVE, & EAT in SAYULITA- Recipe for Cobb Salad
October 30, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
I love salads and have one every night with my dinner. Sometimes I feel like a rabbit! No matter what is planned for my menu, I always have a salad along with my meal. Today I would like to share a recipe for a Cobb Salad. This particular salad can be had as a full meal on its own, and it is one of my favorite meals because it is both filling and healthy. Additionally, on our hot and humid days here in Sayulita, a fresh, cold salad is always a great option for lunch or dinner. With chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, blue cheese, fresh organic salad greens, and a delicious homemade vinaigrette, who could ask for anything more? Furthermore, all of these ingredients are easily available here in our Sayulita tiendas.
