Mexico!

This past January I traveled to Mexico to attend an amazingly beautiful wedding of a family friend. The backdrop for this occasion was the city of Tepoztlán in the mountains, just south of Mexico City. I have never been to a more beautiful place in my life! We hiked, we danced, and we thoroughly enjoyed any Mexican delicacy we could get our hands on. I put together a collage of some of the amazing dishes we were fortunate enough to try during our visit - Everything from fresh fruit and yogurt in the mornings to perfectly grilled steak, chicken, and portobellas, to FLAN! We were seriously spoiled.

Surrounding the hacienda we were staying in were lime trees - made for wonderfully fresh and delicious margaritas! I also came upon an interesting drink while perusing the market one weekend: Micheladas. It is essentially beer and tomato juice or hot sauce with chili powder on the rim of the glass. SO GOOD! You can see the process in the picture second from the top on the right side.

Pictured second from the left at the top is the incredible ice cream shop, Tepoznieves. They have the most outrageous, delicious, and totally original flavors including: Cantelope,  Kiwi, Butter Raisin, Rice (yep!), even  ice cream with granola and chopped fruit!

The food we ingested until our bellies ached was ridiculously fresh and REfreshing! Absolutely nothing like the "Mexican" food we have the in states, that's for sure. I had some of the most inventive and creative salad dressings that I can't wait to try out for summer salads, so stay tuned!
