Recipe Round-up (May 2024)

In honor of the end of our 3-month Baja excursion, here are a handful of Mexican and Mexican-fusion recipes that I’ve put together in recent months.

Before crossing the border into Baja this past February, I was nervous that I might have trouble doing my recipe development job down there.

Times have been busy finishing the recipes for the second cookbook, so I haven’t been too active on the blog here, but I have still been hard at work over on Food Republic and Chowhound.

This recipe came from a request by a fellow nomad. It has been incredible to get to know more and more of the nomad community over the past few years, and it makes me so happy to get requests for recipes from other folks on

You might have noticed that things have gotten a little slow around thebuslifekitchen.com lately. Well, there are a number of reasons for that.

Albondigas

Albondigas

Albondigas are a typical tapas dish in Spain, little meatballs in a rich, paprika-infused tomato sauce, served alongside a cold beer or glass of wine. They are a perfect appetizer, each bite being a delightful combination of meat, herbs, and spices, all coated in a rich sauce that you will undoubtedly be dredging from the bottom of the dish with a piece of bread before too long. Next time you want to have guests over: a warm dish of albondigas with individual toothpicks, plenty of crusty bread, and a nice pitcher of sangria is all you need.
