When I was growing up, I always thought that one day I was going to be able to Travel throughout México and visit the cities that I only knew from my school textbooks, like: Guadalajara, Ciudad de México, Monterrey, Mérida, Veracruz, Puebla, Tabasco, and many more. My dreams finally came true years later and I was fortunate enough to travel to the north, south, east and west of México. I was able to visit ancient ruins of the Mayans, Olmecas, Zapotecas and Tenochcas, but I also learned of our vast and rich culture… and of our gastronomy.

Mexican cuisine is rich, diverse, and delicious because you can prepare recipes with anything and everything that comes to your mind: fruits, grains, vegetables, fish, poultry, pork, and beef. Yes, anyone can prepare delicious meals with your favorite kind of meat and other products, and this coming week I will have the privilege to host another fellow food blogger, Sonia, who shares her Mexican heritage and the wonderful flavors, colors, and foods she grew up with on her blog La Piña en la Cocina.
