Feature Post LIVE, LOVE, & EAT in SAYULITA- Recipe for Stuffed Burgers
October 10, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
I love burgers- whether ground-beef, pork, chicken, turkey, or a combination of any of these, they are always delicious and satisfying. The other day I was on the Food Network site and saw a recipe for Guy Fieri’s “Stuffed Burgers”. The filling of crispy bacon and sautéed chorizo and onions sounded so good that I just had to make them last night! The combination of sautéed onions and chorizo sounded perfect for us in Sayulita! They were so delicious, that I had to share the recipe with you today.

Feature Post LIVE, LOVE, & EAT in SAYULITA- Recipe for Roasted Kale & Swiss Chard
October 2, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
Today I am making Roasted Kale and/or Swiss Chard with Feta. If you read my last column, I talked about Jen Segal from the blog and cookbook “Once Upon a Chef.” Jen has wonderful recipes; everything that I have made of hers has been delicious. I have adapted her recipe a little bit by adding kale to mine. Terrenal Organic store in Sayulita will likely carry organic chard and/ or kale by November, but please check with them first. Mega in Bucerias also usually carries both. Furthermore, you can find kale during high season at the Mercado del Pueblo. Thus, you can make this yummy vegetable dish in your Sayulita kitchen pretty much anytime you would like!

Feature Post The humpback whales of Sayulita- A proposal for a Whale Sanctuary in Nayarit
September 25, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
The humpback whales that visit Sayulita each year, for many, are part of the true magic of the area. Each winter, usually in mid-November, the large and charismatic North Pacific humpback whales are spotted swimming down the Sayulita coast, announcing their presence by their signature blows or breaching as they travel, and assembling in large numbers to breed and calve. By the end of December to around the start of February, the number of whales that you may encounter on a boat trip from Sayulita can be astounding. However, in the latest U.S. Government’s NOAA global review of the species’ status in 2016, the population of Mexican humpback whales was classified as “threatened”, and for those that swim through Nayarit waters and continue on down to Central America were labeled as “endangered”.

In my last column I promised you Butter Burgers. Well, I made them last night and did not feel that they were worthy of a column. So today I am sharing with you a recipe for a French Apple Tart. I love the recipes from Jen Segal. Her blog is called “Once Upon a Chef”, and Jen always has great recipes to share. If you have never followed her, I strongly recommend checking out her blog.

Feature Post Sunset Sail with Velero Viva– An Experience Not to be Missed!
August 28, 2018 sayulitablog 0Comment
I set out with four friends from Sayulita for a Sunset Sail aboard the Velero Viva. As we left Sayulita it was hot, humid and sunny; we were looking forward to getting out on the water. The closer we got to Nuevo Vallarta, there were ominous dark clouds over Banderas Bay, and it looked like rain. Velero Viva is docked at the Puerto Vallarta Yacht Club, which is located in Nuevo Vallarta-- just a quick thirty minute drive from Sayulita. There is ample parking in the underground garage at the adjacent shopping center.
