Day of the Dead

Día de los Muertos – a celebration of life! Learn how I honor my father and how my Day of the Dead altar comes to life with calaveras, food, music, and more. Through food, including Mexican Hot Chocolate, Buñulos, Sugar Skull Cookies, and my father’s favorite dessert, I’ve been able to evoke and honor the memories of loved ones who are no longer part of the terrestrial world.
