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.

Growing up in South Texas, we picked lemons from the trees in our backyard, found the sweetest Ruby Red grapefruits at the pulga (fleamarket), and bagged oranges in the bed of vendor pickup trucks on the side of the road. Inspired by the tastes of home, we made these Citrus Marinated Chicken Nachos with our Grain Free Dip Chips and dairy free Mild Nacho Cashew Queso!
Ahh, arroz con leche—it’s so much more than rice pudding! It was a sign of love from our abuela when we’d get home from school or a special surprise dessert in our lunch boxes after a long week. We decided to jot down this dairy free recipe, so you can create special memories with your familia, too!
To whoever said it wasn't possible to put fire in a taco, we see your traditional taco and raise you these Spicy Chicken Tacos, made with our Kettle Cooked Fuego Potato Chips. Baked to a crispy fuego-perfection, these delicious chicken tenders bring the crunch and the heat, if we do say so ourselves.
