With game day fast approaching, I wanted to create a drink that encompasses my go to drinks, Corona Light and mojitos. Since everyone drinks beer during the Super Bowl, I figured when else would be the best time to concoct a drink involving beer. Everyone out there is going to be drinking it, so might […]
So, with the Super Bowl approaching, I figured I would share a simple but delicious chicken wing recipe we have been making in my family for years. We typically make these during the summer, when we have family over for a pool party and for the Super Bowl of course. My dad would typically grill […]
When I think of papa rellenas, it takes me back to 2006 during hurricane season. I remember we were about to get hit by a hurricane in South Florida and my siblings and I were helping my dad put up shutters right before the storm hit. It brings me back to this day because this was the first […]
Picadillo—to me—is a staple of a Cuban household. It’s quick, super easy to make, and, when made right, delicious.

Garlic aioli must be one of the most delicious dips there is out there. I always thought this was an extremely complicated recipe and required a lot of work, but after some research and trial and error, the one I created here is extremely simple and can be whipped up in a flash for any […]

Funny story about avocados, I always hated them until I started dating my wife back in 2012, which is when I can say my life truly changed. Not because I started dating my wife, but because she introduced me to avocados! See, technically I met my wife in 2011 and it took her several months […]
Pork is a staple in the Cuban diet and man do my wife and I love pork chops. My favorite way to eat them is sautéed in a pan, marinaded in what I believe to be the best marinade ever made, “The Lechonera Mojo Criollo.” Goya does have a similar product which I do resort […]
