Penne alla vodka is hands down my wife’s favorite sauce for pasta. When we first moved to New York and she was looking for a job, we were on an tight budget. Like counting pennies kind of budget and pasta was always on the menu. And that pasta had to be drenched in vodka sauce. […]
This Tapa Tuesday is inspired by one of my favorite tapa restaurants in Miami called “Bulla Gastro Bar”. We used to visit it weekly when we lived in Miami and my wife worked right next door and now that we are back in Miami, I feel like the tradition will start all over again. Their […]
When I think of bacalao (cod), it reminds me of being in my grandma’s house during lent when we couldn’t eat meat on Fridays. She would make what seemed like hundreds of cods in the oven and the smell of fish in her house would slightly drive me crazy, but the taste was delicious. So […]
Nutella is one of my favorite chocolates. There is nothing better than some vanilla ice cream drenched in nutella…. well until this nutella cookies recipe. Being in love with nutella, I had to combine it with a cookie, because who doesn’t love cookies?! These cookies come out so soft, chewy and with the perfect amount […]

Talk about chicken noodle soup for the soul. My abuela’s Cuban Chicken Noodle Soup (Sopa De Pollo) is wholesome, flavorful, and comforting. The perfect chicken noodle soup recipe for when you have a cold or feeling a little home sick from your abuela’s cooking. Sorry Campbells, you have nothing on this recipe. What is the […]
If you guys haven’t tried the egg white bites from Starbucks, stop what you are doing and go get some OR just keep reading and then make the recipe yourself (it will probably be cheaper that way)! Nilda, my wife, is the one that actually introduced me to the egg white bites and I of […]
Calamari is one of my wife’s favorite appetizers at any restaurant we go to. These fried little squid rings are crunchy,delicious, and full of flavor. Squeeze a little fresh lemon on top and this goes from an appetizer to share to an appetizer you want to eat on your own. To be honest with you, […]
Lomo saltado is probably one of my favorite beef dishes of all time. Steak, onions, peppers, and fries all mixed together served with rice, my mouth is drooling just writing this. When Nilda was in law school in St. Louis, Missouri, there was this really delicious peruvian place downtown that we would always go to […]
