So here is what we did with the #squashblossom last night. Always trying to integrate #localfood I switched it up! Cream of seasonal #Tepozteco corn with zuchini and fresh #huitlacoche topped with a crispy goat cheese stuffed squash blossom. #LaVillaBonita #mytepoz #VenAComer #culinaryvacation Special Christmas Elf Tamale production line #lavillabonita #mytepoz #diadelosmuertos #decoration in the #kitchen at #LaVillaBonita with a gentle breeze. It was a beautiful, perfect day in #tepoztlan Today off to the cemetery. #culinaryvacation #mytepoz #Mole Colorado and #cava? A fabulous combination suggested to me by @gabyrenterian – I am creating a new hastag in her honor – #MoleAndCavaTuesdays #LaVillaBonita #CulinaryVacation #mytepoz #tepoztlan This New Year it was such a pleasure to have Susan Burke back with us! Susan was our first “real client” back in 2000 when she came with her daughter. This is her fourth time back with us! Susan, you have become part of the family! So great to see you again. Wow! Incredible #streetmural painted last week in #tepoztlan #mytepoz #lavillabonita Tortilla time! #lavillabonita #mytepoz #lavillabonita getting ready for #diadelosmuertos #mytepoz Time for lunch with guests from Florida and Great Britain. #squashblossom #soup #smellovision #lavillabonita #mytepoz I love my #apple vendor. It is a #LuckyDay. Those great old variety apples that are crisp and tart. It always reminds me of how apples are supposed to taste. These are grown in San Juan just up the mountain from #Tepoztlan. He doesn´t have a stall so you just have to be lucky as he walks around with his buckets of apples. #eatlocal #buylocal #savelocalvarieties #mytepoz #LaVillaBonita #CulinaryVacation #foodieparadise
