Ham and Cheese Empanada Recipe
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.

Patata Bravas
Patata bravas are one of our all-time favorite tapas! If it’s on the menu, it’s in the order when that waiter comes around, but with quarantine and all, I have had to recreate it at my own home to get that tiny taste of Spain we crave every once in a while. I was actually […]
For The Love Of Camarones Al Ajillo
