Happy full moon lovelies. It's already mid-July and apparently I haven't checked in with you all about what's going on with Good Mexican Girl.  We joined a farmer's market on Wednesdays at the California Market Center. For July and August we are taking a hiatus and will return in September with new bakes.  Because of joining the market, we added vegan empanadas to our repetoire. We have joined pop-ups at Church of Seitan and Capuyo Cafe. Now we'll have one on August 10 with our friends Craft Beer Cellar in Eagle Rock.  If you follow us on instagram you may...

I have a wonderful lemon tree that has been offering generously large fruit. I will be attempting another try at a glutenfree lemon bar. I'll also be making my own candied lemon peels after watching a marathon run of British...

It's time to do some spring cleaning and celebrate the arrival of another season. You know how it's recommended to do the seasonal sort of your closet. The same goes for your pantry and refrigerator. First place to start is to go through the spices. There may be spices in there that you have for over a year.
