Cantina Laredo's Valentine's Day Menu & A Giveaway!! WINNER ANNOUNCED



As a proud new member of the Nashville Food Bloggers, I was excited to be invited to a special preview of Cantina Laredo's Valentine's Day menu this past Monday. It was my first time visiting the restaurant, and I was impressed by its vibrant and sophisticated atmosphere, which I'd describe as "Modern" Mexican.


Cantina Laredo offers two "Tres Course" menus, both reasonably priced at $17.99 per person. Their regular dinner menu features enticing dishes such as Enchiladas De Avocado (avocado and artichoke enchiladas with tomatillo sauce over spinach) and Enchiladas De CANGREjO (lump crab enchiladas with spicy chili de arbol cream sauce on vinaigrette-marinated vegetables). I'm already looking forward to trying the TACOS DE CARNITAS (slow-roasted pork with chipotle wine sauce) on my next visit—yum!


I had the pleasure of meeting both the General Manager, Matt Langston, and the Executive Chef, Josh Santiago. Their passion for the restaurant and its offerings was evident and truly wonderful.


The special Valentine's Day menu, which I had the opportunity to sample, will be available from Thursday, February 13th, through Valentine's Day. This three-course menu is priced at $35.00 per person, with optional cocktail pairings for an additional $15.00 per cocktail. I tried nearly everything on the Valentine's menu, and it was all fabulous, especially the cocktail pairings!

Homemade Basics: Flour Tortillas

Celebrating its one-month blogaversary, this blog has exceeded all expectations! With 1300 page views, a picture featured on FoodGawker, and a Facebook page boasting 50 likes, it's been an incredible journey. I'm so grateful to all my friends and supporters, especially my husband Gabe, for their patience and understanding. While this process has been rewarding, it hasn't been without its stresses.

To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about making tortillas from scratch. Store-bought tortillas are perfectly acceptable and what my family is accustomed to. However, in my ongoing effort to incorporate more homemade ...

Blood Orange Margaritas

Image
Flipping through social media yesterday, I was inundated with mouth-watering images of margaritas for National Margarita Day. Naturally, I had to have one! I wanted to try a new flavor, and when I stumbled upon this recipe from Confections of a Foodie Bride's blog, I knew it was the one. I've only had blood oranges a few times, but since they're in season and readily available, it was a no-brainer. They completely surpassed my expectations – so good, and her recipe made the perfect two margaritas. Next year, I'm definitely setting a calendar reminder for National Margarita Day! Ingrdients 3 oz. tequila 2 oz. orange liqueur 2 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice 4 oz. fresh-squeezed blood orange juice, about 4 oranges 1 oz. simple syrup Blood orange slices for garnish Directions In a large cocktail shaker add a small amount of ice, the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, blood orange juice and simple syrup.  Shake well.  Pour over small glasses filled with...
