There’s something so satisfying about a warm, buttery egg sandwich 🥐🍳

I kept Emilia’s simple with scrambled eggs and @tillamook cheddar, added a little mayo + spinach to mine, and toasted both in a little extra @vitalfarms butter until they were golden.

The tiny hands grabbing the sandwich might just be my favorite part 🥹

Sopa de arroz, como dice mi mamá ❤️ One of those recipes I grew up eating and now make for my own family.

Ingredients:

* 1 cup long-grain white rice
* 2 Roma tomatoes
* A small piece of onion
* 1 garlic clove
* A little red bell pepper (optional)
* 1 tsp chicken bouillon
* 1 spoonful of pasta sauce (my little secret!)
* Chicken broth or water (about 1 cup total liquid, including the blended sauce)
* A little oil
* Salt to taste
* Cilantro

How I make it:

1. Blend the tomatoes, onion, garlic, bell pepper, chicken bouillon, pasta sauce, and a little chicken broth or water until smooth.
2. Rinse your rice and drain it well. Add a little oil to a pan and lightly toast the rice until golden.
3. Pour a little of the blended sauce into the rice first. I like to let it cook together for a minute so the rice absorbs all that flavor.
4. Add the rest of the sauce and enough chicken broth or water to make about 2 cups of total liquid, including the blended sauce. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook on low for about 15–20 minutes.
5. Add some cilantro halfway through. Once the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 5–10 minutes before fluffing.

Save this for your next Mexican dinner!

Learning how to dial in your espresso? ☕️

A good starting point is a 1:2 ratio. For example, 18g of ground coffee to 36g of espresso in roughly 25–30 seconds.

My actual shot here was 18g in, 38.2g out in 29 seconds.

If your espresso pulls too fast, try grinding finer. Too slow? Try grinding coarser.

These are just starting guidelines. Taste is what matters most!

Save this for your next espresso.

I’ve been making pickled red onions forever, but this time I threw in a cinnamon stick and I’m never going back 😂 The flavor is SO good!

Here’s how I made them 🌶️

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup white vinegar
½ cup water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar (optional)
1 tsp whole peppercorns
1 jalapeño, sliced
1 cinnamon stick

Add everything to a clean glass jar, pour in the warm vinegar and water mixture, and let it cool before refrigerating. They’re ready in about an hour, but even better the next day!

Save this for your next batch 🌶️🧅

If you have a white sink, @barkeepersfriend is so good for getting stubborn stains out.

We’re in a rental and our sink has definitely seen better days, but this helps keep it looking clean and white. I also use it on my stainless steel pots and pans. Finished with an Affresh tablet to freshen up the drain. by @maribelbfernandez
