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.

The fun of making these Loaded Chocolate Churros lies in—aside from the obviously delicious chocolate + churro combo—the toppings! We used a variety of dried fruits and nuts to top ours, but feel free to top these with everything your heart desires. Chip chip, churr’ay!
There’s nothing that can’t be made a little bit better by a hearty casserole. How do we know? Because we’ve seen it in all the movies! We’ve made this Fuego Rice Casserole using our Grain Free Tortilla Chips for a kick of heritage-inspired flavor.
The dips table at our family carne asadas is an array of different flavors! From guacamole and pico de gallo to queso and salsa, we’ve got something for everyone. One dip we especially like to make is this Cilantro Spinach Artichoke Dip. We think you’ll like it too!
