So, funny story, we thought that National Cheesecake Day was on March 24th, hence this cheesecake post, but according to multiple websites, it’s on July 30th. There were many conflicting dates to when national cheesecake day actually is but either way now you have the recipe to what I consider is the best cheesecake you […]
It’s the recipe you’ve “bean” waiting for! I have been dying to make my own black bean hummus for a while and now with my partnership with Chifles, I figured that this would be the perfect time to do so! Since we are constantly snacking in my house, I figured this would be the best […]
Chorizo is my wife’s second favorite food, the first is bread. She loves to combine the chorizo and bread together and let me tell you guys I’ve never seen someone happier than my wife when she eats pan con chorizo! But she also like croquetas. In reality, she just loves all food! Croquetas are definitely […]
Frijoles negros (black beans), is a dish that every Hispanic grows up eating. It is the perfect side for any recipe or just to eat on its own. And bonus tip – it is very high in protein; therefore, making it perfect for a vegan diet! My wife who cooks about once a quarter is […]
Sopa de platano (plantain soup), is one of my mom’s specialties. She always makes it with ropa vieja (recipe in blog) because she uses the liquid that the beef is pressure cooked in to make the soup. I was craving it all winter and decided to make it after cooking ropa vieja a few nights […]

When I think of pastelitos de guayaba (guava pastries), I think of the trips I used to take with my grandfather to Holiday or Vicky Bakery in Hialeah growing up. My sister, brother and I would always get into his blue Honda, where you had to roll down the windows yourself and it had those old seatbelts that would […]
Mariquitas with Mojo de Ajo (plantain chips with garlic mojo) is hands down my favorite appetizer of all time. Where ever I go and it’s on the menu, I order it. Now, there are many different types of mojos de ajo out there, but the BEST one ever is from Casa Romeu in Hialeah. They have this citrus garlic mojo that I […]
This garlic-cilantro aioli is so good that I feel like I did injustice not giving it it’s own post. So this post is just for that. I made it last Friday and I have been literally putting it on everything I have made since then. It just makes everything taste soooooo good! The coolest part […]
