Baja Spring Break

Posted on March 27, 2013February 23, 2014 by Jacky Hackett

Baja Spring Break goes something like this…

Your own Secluded Beach, Baja

A long day on a sunny beach makes you thirsty, margarita anyone?

Followed by chorizo and shrimp crispy tacos…

All generously topped with a fresh salsa…

A perfect spring break retreat…

Aw hell, I’m dreaming — I have to go to work tomorrow!  The only thing Baja about my spring break was Biz’s Baja fresh grilled salsa. I got my very own jar of it and let me tell you it is delicious as I imagined it would be.  And I may have just eaten the jar already.

Eh, I will take what I can get.  I am not be on spring break, but I did get a day off today to hang with the kids, get some house projects done, spend some time in the kitchen, and managed to find time to finish my book.  Heck, it was even almost 50 degrees today. Back in my high school days I probably would have laid out in attempt to get tan like the rest of the folks vacation on a sunny beach.

    A sunny vacation would be great right now. I won some of Biz’s Baja salsa last year and I hid it from my husband because I didn’t want to share! It’s so good. Your meal looks delicious too. Brings back memories of my semester abroad in Mexico.

    You had me going too, I was like “she never mentioned going on spring break!” Glad you liked the salsa – can’t wait until the cherries are in season – actually I am contemplating doing a whole series on grilled fruit salsas this summer – pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe – can’t wait!

      Great idea on the salsa, my husband texted me this morning, “This salsa is so good, buttery. But death breath from garlic. Get recipe.” 🙂
