To me, Cuban coffee, aka cafecito, is life. I can certainly say that I would not be where I am today without Cuban coffee. It has gotten me through undergrad, med school, residency, and now attending-hood. You can ask my wife, if I dont have my Cuban coffee in the morning, I am not a […]
Penne alla vodka is hands down my wife’s favorite sauce for pasta. When we first moved to New York and she was looking for a job, we were on an tight budget. Like counting pennies kind of budget and pasta was always on the menu. And that pasta had to be drenched in vodka sauce. […]
Nutella is one of my favorite chocolates. There is nothing better than some vanilla ice cream drenched in nutella…. well until this nutella cookies recipe. Being in love with nutella, I had to combine it with a cookie, because who doesn’t love cookies?! These cookies come out so soft, chewy and with the perfect amount […]
If you guys haven’t tried the egg white bites from Starbucks, stop what you are doing and go get some OR just keep reading and then make the recipe yourself (it will probably be cheaper that way)! Nilda, my wife, is the one that actually introduced me to the egg white bites and I of […]
My wife and I usually go to this mom and pop Argentinian restaurant in the Upper East Side, called Libertador, for many of our date nights whenever we are craving some tasty Hispanic food. It’s extremely convenient because it’s about two blocks away from where we live, so it’s perfect for our nights out after […]
It feels like I’m posting just as many chorizo recipes as I have guava recipes! You can thank my wife for that one because her love for chorizo knows no bounds. You know what they say, happy wife, happy life. And when I made these choripan sliders for her, she was as happy as she […]
Another week, another tapa and pan con tomate is probably the most delicious and easiest one out there to make. It’s also extremely cheap which is a plus because it is basically bread, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and a little bit of salt. Pretty much everything you can find in your house. This recipe somewhat […]
Chorizo a la Sidra, aka chorizo cooked in cider, is another classic spanish tapa and it is perfect for our TAPA TUESDAY menu! For those of you who have been following this blog for the past year, know that my wife LOVES chorizo, and thankfully a lot of spanish tapas have chorizo in it. So […]
Papas arrugadas, translates to wrinkled potatoes and it is another classic spanish tapa. As we continue to explore all the spanish tapas there are, I want you to know that potatoes are my weakness, which is a good thing that a lot of spanish tapas have potatoes in them. I legitimately cannot go out to […]
So 2021 is going to be the year of TAPA TUESDAYS and to start us off, I have an amazing recipe for spanish albondigas! We first went to Spain back in 2013 where we spent a few days indulging in spanish tapas. Ever since then we basically have them every couple of weeks. Now I […]
