Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is one of Mexico’s most beautiful and meaningful celebrations — a time to honor and remember loved ones who have passed by welcoming their spirits home with food, music, and color. Families build ofrendas (altars) adorned with marigolds, candles, photos, sugar skulls, and the favorite dishes of those they’re remembering.
On my blog, you’ll find everything you need to celebrate this cherished tradition — from step-by-step guides on how to make traditional sugar skulls and set up an ofrenda, to beloved recipes like Pan de Muerto (Day of the Dead Bread), Conchas (Mexican Sweet Bread), Mexican Champurrado, Mexican Tamales, and Chicken Mole.
These Día de los Muertos recipes are more than food; they are symbols of love, memory, and connection passed down through generations. Whether you’re celebrating for the first time or continuing a family tradition, I hope these recipes and stories inspire you to honor your loved ones and fill your home with warmth, remembrance, and joy.
