Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday that’s observed on the first of November, and it brings families together by celebrating the memories of loved ones who have come before us. Traditionally, families set up ofrendas, altars, in their homes, and decorate cemeteries with marigold blooms and bright papers. Our Siete family prepares a few weeks early by baking recipes that have been passed down for generations, like this Pan de Muerto. This grain free bread recipe calls for almond flour, cassava flour, agave nectar, and date sugar in this baked treat to celebrate the life and death of friends and family before us. We hope you enjoy this recipe while remembering your past loved ones, and connecting with those around you.

So, you're hosting for the holidays, and checking your guest list twice when you realize Jack Frost RSVP'd "YES." It's fantastic news (his calendar is booked this time of year!) but suddenly you realize you need to come up with a drink that's as cool as he is—literally. "I've got it: Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate!" you exclaim, "With buñuelos on top!" Well, isn't that just the icing on the shake.
Imagine: you're sitting on the couch with Mexican Hot Chocolate in hand, watching snow fall outside, and kicking your feet (clad in your favorite fuzzy socks, of course) up near the crackling fireplace. You take a sip of your creamy Mexican Hot Chocolate and ahhhh, yes..tastes like happy, happy holidays!
