And there's not much better than homemade tortillas.

If at any point through the tortilla making process the dough seems too dry or too wet, add a little more water or masa to the dough. Let stand for, at least, 30 minutes. This batch rested for over two hours while the boys played. Take a piece of the masa dough and shape it into a ball the size of a plum, or slightly large golf ...

You're Invited: Marvel-ous Sips and Nibbles #FandomFoodies #MarvelUniverseEats

I am hosting a month-long homage to the Marvel Universe, in conjunction with Fandom Foodies , as we prepare for the release of Avengers: Endgame near the end of this month. April 26th, in case you didn't know. I used to just say that I liked the Marvel movies because I am a permanent resident of Testosterone Land...with two teenage sons and a husband. But, it's more than that. I actually really love the story-telling in Marvel movies. It's hard to pick a favorite, really. So, I'm inviting you to watch - or rewatch as the case may be - any of the Marvel movies and whip up something inspired. How to Participate Check the announcement post to see what the theme entails. Done. You're already here! If you’re already a fan of the Marvel movies and have immediate inspiration, great! If not, watch/read/play relevant things to drum up inspiration for a recipe. Cook up something or make a recipe! Foods can be taken directly from a Marvel movie or even j...
