Squash Blossom Quesadilla

Have tons of squash blossoms in your garden? Girl, same! I’ve been putting them on everything: pizza, sandwiches, and yes, in quesadillas. I can’t take any credit for this. One of my TikTok followers commented on one of my squash blossom videos and told me that growing up in Mexico, her mom used to make…

Tex-Mex Egg Scramble

I couldn’t even count how many times I make this a year. It’s one of my favorite breakfasts! I make it often when I have leftovers chips and salsa. At first you might think, tortilla chips in scrambled eggs? Are you mad? But just trust me. It’s so good! My dear friend Eric taught me…

Chocolate Cinnamon Cake

This is one of those cakes that I’ve baked many times and have never published on The Rose Table. Why? I’m not sure! I baked these as cupcakes for my cookbook a couple of years ago and everyone raved about them and I thought, I need to blog this! Better late than never, right? This recipe…

Backyard Taco Night

What an easy way to host people! I just love taco night. I couldn’t even count how many times I’ve hosted taco night for my friends. (I am Texan after all and queso is life.) I wasn’t planning on blogging about last night’s dinner with my friends Jessica (who, by the way, photographed most of…

Grilled Corn Guacamole

‘Tis the season for corn recipes! Don’t you just love fresh summer corn? Toss some on the grill then cut it off the cob to add to this guacamole. The corn adds a sweetness that goes so well with the saltiness of the cheese (use cotija or feta) and the heat of the garlic and…

Steak Quesadillas

I make quesadillas every single lunch and yet no recipes appear on The Rose Table. The reason? I never measure! But in an effort to bring you more of my everyday foods, I’m writing this up sans measurements. I especially love making quesadillas for lunch when I have a little leftover chicken or steak. On…

Loaded Guacamole

I made this on a Saturday night and said to my dog, “This is the best guacamole I’ve ever had!” The next night my mom came over and ate leftovers and said, “This is the best guacamole I’ve ever had!” So there you have it. Keep reading if you want to make the best guacamole…

The Best Beef Queso

My friend Jason makes the best queso I’ve ever had. Trust me, I’m Texan. Just look at it. Don’t you want to jump in and swim around?! He was kind enough to share his recipe with me so I could share it with all of you! It’s beefy, it’s cheesy, and it’s easy to make….

Pollo Rose Table Tacos

This is the dreamiest taco recipe: roasted chicken tacos with crispy chicken skin, pickled onions, crunchy romaine, juicy tomatoes, Monterey jack cheese, with a drizzle of sour cream and a squeeze of lime. I made this for my mom and me for Sunday dinner and we were swooning. We couldn’t even follow a conversation. We…
