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 […]
Love guava as much as I do?! Then you have to try this guava pudding out! My wife is obsessed with it and actually came up with this idea. It took a few tries to make but this recipe for guava pudding came out so good!! I think one of my goals in life is […]
Summer is around the corner so it’s time to start firing up those grills! I wanted to share with you all my delicious chimichurri recipe! Up here in New York, I have found it a little difficult to find good chimichurri. The stores sometimes make their own brand, but they are not always available. I […]
If you grew up in South Florida, your first meal ever was probably a croqueta and a tete (pacifier) dipped in Cuban coffee. No matter the event, you will always find either homemade croquetas or from a bakery at the event. It is a must have hors d’oeuvre for every Hispanic family. We even have a croqueta […]
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 […]

With this whole whipped coffee craze, I wanted to come up with some ideas on how else to use this recipe because it was just so delicious! I went to the kitchen, made a mess as per usual, and I created coffee whipped cream, whipped coffee milkshake, and whipped coffee over ice cream and a […]
Arroz con Leche (rice pudding), is my wife’s favorite dessert. I had never made it before, until our anniversary this year and honestly, it is not as complicated as it looks. The best thing about this dessert is the combination of all three forms of milk. It reminds me of a tres leches which is […]
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!! To finish off my Mexican fiesta run, I would like to share these delicious shrimp tacos on Taco Tuesday! I love shrimp tacos and they are extremely fast and easy to make. When I am running short of time I use fajita seasoning from Whole Foods, but the blend of […]
I fell in love with elote (Mexican street corn) when I moved to New York. Growing up in Miami, Mexican food was never a huge part of our diet, but when I moved to New York, it is about a weekly go to. Since then, elote has become one of my favorite appetizers. Since Cinco […]
