Our family believes in the power of food, and its ability to gather loved ones around the table; but this recipe reminds us that food is also a way to remember and honor loved ones who came before us.
We share this Taco Salad in memory of Carol, Kristen’s mom, who taught her “that love has no limitations, family is who you love, the earth is for us to respect and nurture so that it can give back to us, a smile can mean the world to someone so always look people in the eye and smile, wave to people you do not know, and never ever take anything for granted.”
Thank you, Kristen, for sharing your family’s story with us. We’re honored to be at the table as you remember your loved one, and share this with nostalgic recipe with the rest of your Siete familia. Juntos es Mejor.

This Grilled Acorn Squash isn’t like any other grilled acorn squash, it’s a Grilled Acorn Squash preparado. To some, “preparado” might just mean simple toppings, but to us, it means the flavors of lime, chili powder, dairy free yogurt, and homemade vegan cheese! So grab a plate, and enjoy the taste of comida preparada!
They say, “When you meet the one, you’ll know.” It’s like the moment French Fry laid eyes on and Ketchup in her best red dress, and when Salt saw Pepper and suddenly needed a glass of water. Or, when this dairy free French Onion Dip met our Kettle Cooked Sea Salt Potato Chips. That’s quite the story, but we’ll just say this: We’re not quite sure why the universe made them all such great pairings, but we’re glad they did!
