Since moving back from New York and getting a grill, one of my go to meals is one of my all time favorites… Churrasco! So when La Lechonera reached out to me to try one of their new rubs, the Chimi Rub, I couldn’t say no! But instead of making just plain old churrasco, I […]
Every once in a while we wish we were off in the Greek islands eating delicious Greek food and when I received a Mojo Dry Rub from La Lechonera, I figured I could make a fun fusion recipe! So, I decided to make a rack of lamb using their mojo dry rub! Let me tell […]
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. […]
Lomo saltado is probably one of my favorite beef dishes of all time. Steak, onions, peppers, and fries all mixed together served with rice, my mouth is drooling just writing this. When Nilda was in law school in St. Louis, Missouri, there was this really delicious peruvian place downtown that we would always go to […]
The older I get, the more I realize that the simplest of tacos are sometimes the best of them. When you allow the flavor of the actual protein to shine, you don’t need to enhance the taco with so many toppings. This is why I love these street-style carne asada tacos. They are simple, yet […]
Rice is probably one of the only ingredients every country has in common. Everyone has their own variation of rice and every recipe is different.

Lasagna, ironically enough, is my mothers most famous and best recipe she ever makes. You must be thinking, what does a Cuban know about lasagna, but let me tell you, I think pure blood Italians would be impressed by this recipe. That’s right I am talking about you Joe Bastianich! (For those of you who […]
I made abuela’s Cuban pasta the other day for the first time because I was missing home and the smells took me back to my childhood. I always find it crazy how food can take you back to certain moments in time by just it’s taste and smell. My Abuela Vivian used to make this […]
Ok, hear me out, these fried chicken tacos are probably one of the best tacos you will ever try! Think of southern comfort food mixed with homemade mexican food combined into one dish. I know you’ve heard of tex-mex but I think we should start a south-mex cuisine category just for this dish. The fried […]
Since moving to New York I have broadened my horizons to trying new foods. Never in my life had I tried indian food prior to moving up here. I wouldn’t say Cuban, especially the males, are a big fan of trying foriegn cuisines. I mainly grew up eating Cuban and American food in my household. […]
