It is Taco Tuesday again and you HAVE to try these chimichurri skirt steak tacos with roasted cherry tomatoes and red onions.

With it being National Burger Day yesterday, I had to celebrate but was not really in the mood for a regular burger. What the inner Cuban in me really wanted was a Cuban Frita. I figured I could make it an appetizer and instead make tiny Cuban Frita sliders for everyone to enjoy! To be […]
Fricase de pollo is another staple Cuban dish that I love to make at home. This is one my suegra’s favorite dishes to cook for us and OMG she makes it so good! This is one of those dishes that I make when I am feeling homesick. It gives me a nice, warm, and homey […]

Growing up, I never really enjoyed eating arroz con salchichas. Not sure why because it’s two things that I enjoy on their own, rice and salchichas. But together it just wasn’t my cup of tea. This dish is my brother’s favorite. I remember my mom always making it for him and I was pretty much […]

Chicken Vaca Frita has to be my all-time favorite dish that my suegros make. It is so delicious! It’s limey, crunchy, tasteful… honestly, it just has all the flavors you crave in one dish. Between you and me it is probably the main reason that I stayed with my wife because no one makes it […]
