Holy Mole! Celebrating Las Posadas!

December 16, 2015January 12, 2018Anali Martinez Gonzalez20 Comments

Last year, my boyfriend and I decided to start having an annual posada at our place. This year it will be the last posada we have in an apartment before we move into a house. I want to make it an extra special holiday party because of this, so I decided to make mole for my first time for the party.

But, of course, I wanted to test it out first before then. I am so excited because it actually came out AMAZING!! And it is a super simple recipe that anyone could follow and make using a slow cooker.

The taste of a frozen lemon pospsicle brings back memories of spending the night with all my cousins at my grandma’s house. My grandma had a thing for bolis and paletas. For some reason she was always fully stocked when we arrived. She didn’t offer actual food to us when we walked through her door. Instead she offered us sweet frozen goodness. That is one of the biggest memories my whole family has of her.

Kona Grill never disappoints! For a sushi chain restaurant it is great every time! I love the wait staff who are always nice and eager to serve. Our waiter was Alex and he was AMAZING. The environment is always hip and lively.

Nos Vamos a Colombia! Meeting the Love of My Life and Getting Ready for Our First Big Trip

I never understood that Colombians were “different” than us. We are Mexican, but my parents still exposed me to other Latin cultures and customs. In a way, I was always destined to meet a Colombian and fall in love with him, right? *winks*
Now, I am 3 days away from boarding a flight to Colombia. I am so excited and can’t wait to see what awaits us there! Julian has been there multiple times in his life (obviously), but this will be my first time visiting another country other than the US or Mexico.

As a Latina and a millennial, I realized how much POWER I have. Like my father, I am a Civil Engineer. I am active on social media. I also serve and hold officer positions on various volunteer boards, like both my parents. I have a blog where I can reach a broader audience on issues I find important. I have POWER to bring change through my work as an engineer and through my writing. When you go and make statements like the one you made about immigrants, it give me…us…the POWER to use it to bring consciousness on an issue that really needs to be resolved.
