Even though La Cantera Resort & Spa will not be open for Mother’s Day this year, their Chefs are sharing some recipes anyone can make at home. (La Cantera Resort & Spa, 2020)

Fiesta Corn Recipe by Chef Gio Silva – Chef de Cuisine, Grille 254
Ingredients:
4 pieces of corn on the cob
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 tsp. Valentina hot sauce
1 pinch of salt to taste
1 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
½ cup cotija cheese or queso fresco
1 tbsp. Tajin or chili powder
1 lime cut in wedges

Directions: Simmer the corn in water for about 30 min or until soft, or grill if you prefer. Mix the rest of ingredients, except the cheese and tajin/chili powder. When corn is done cooking, allow to cool down. Either slice the kernels or leave the cob whole. Mix or cover the corn with the Valentina/mayo mix. Sprinkle with cheese and Tajin.

Goldfish Cheddar Mac and Cheese by Chef Robert Carr – Executive Chef, La Cantera Resort & Spa
Goldfish add a nice crunch to creamy macaroni and cheese, while a mild poblano pepper gives the dish an earthy richness without being too hot for the kids. If you do not want to cook and dice the bacon, bacon bits will work.
Ingredients:
½ cup of shredded cheddar
1 roasted and diced poblano chili pepper
½ cup bacon
1 cup crushed cheddar Goldfish

Directions: Prepare the macaroni and cheese according to the instructions. Mix in ¼ cup of the cheddar, ½ cup of the crushed goldfish and the pepper. Top with ¼ cup of cheddar followed by the remaining ½ cup of goldfish and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Champagne Margaritas by Chef Gabriela Hinojosa – Chef de Cuisine, SweetFire Kitchen
Champagne Margaritas are so fresh and satisfying and easily adaptable with different fruit purees and garnishes.
Ingredients to yield 1 pitcher:
6oz. lime juice
4oz. orange juice
4oz. tequila
1/4 cup sugar
1 bottle (750ml) Champagne
Ice

Directions: Stir the sugar with the lime and orange juices to dissolve. Add the tequila and fill the pitcher with ice. Pour the Champagne over the ice and stir. Serve in Champagne glasses with a slice of fresh mango or orange wheel.
