I feel like I am getting really good at creating my own condiments. Even though at first it seemed daunting, I began to really love the process. I love seeing what I can swap out for healthier more flavorful ingredients and when I gave red enchilada sauce a shot, I was surprised how simple it truly was!

I’m a big fan of Mexican food as I’m sure a lot of people are. Making my own Mexican food was ESSENTIAL when I lived in Hawaii because there truly were no places on the island then that could do it right. I often made enchiladas which were a favorite of my husband, and when I am feeling a more lighter version, I make my red enchilada zucchini version.
