About Us
Hello! I'm Mona—a wife of 30 years and a proud mother of five. My youngest is now a senior, preparing to venture out into the world, and it's a beautiful, bittersweet moment. I grew up in both Colorado and Texas, where I learned the art of gardening, canning, and cooking for large gatherings. My dad was a pastor, and my mom, sister, and I often cooked for our church. By the age of 17, I hosted my first solo Thanksgiving dinner for over 100 people—quite the adventure!
Shortly after getting married, my husband and I moved to Hidalgo, Mexico, where we lived for 11 amazing years. During that time, I embraced the rich culture and learned to cook authentic Mexican dishes from talented home chefs. Later, we moved to Chiapas, where I discovered even more Mexican culinary treasures. For nearly 30 years now, I've been exploring and mastering Mexican cuisine, and my passion for it only grows.
