| Bananas el fuego! |
Our Christmas Eve theme this year was Mexican food and I can highly recommend each of the dishes we tried from Food Network cook Marcela Valladolid:
corn and poblano lasagna (add lots of extra filling),
crunchy salad,
tres leches cake, and especially
Vanilla-Pinapple agua fresca. This is, as some reviewers pointed out, basically watered-down juice, but somehow it is spectacular: a pineapple, a little vanilla and sugar, and cold water, blend and strain out the pulp, and you're done. But it was so good, even the non-pregnant among us forewent drinking wine and just kept chugging this stuff down. It also felt very special and Christmas-ey: this will stay in the holiday rotation for sure.
