Welcome to Tastes So Fine! I’m a native of Monterrey, Mexico where I was a preschool teacher, and now I live with my husband in Northern Virginia just outside of DC. I’m excited to share with you some delicious recipes I’ve discovered through the years. Some are authentic Mexican dishes just like the way they are made back home, and others have been modified, or “Americanized,” and still other recipes I post just because I think they are yummy, whether from Mexico or anywhere else in the world!
Not too long ago, I started analyzing all of my grocery receipts, breaking down the prices per item and counting how much money was being spent per recipe. This has really helped to motivate me to stay within my family food budget each month. It has also helped to prove to myself that I really can cook delicious restaurant-quality recipes at home and save tons of money, rather than going out to eat so often.
I hope that by sharing these tasty dishes, along with the costs, it inspires you to have some fun in the kitchen and cook more at home.
