First of all I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to my dad, who is in heaven. I miss you dearly and never a day goes by without the thought of you. I love you Papi. Happy father's Day to my husband, the father of our children -- who loves us unconditionally and is always there for us. He fixes everything and anything in our house to make it look presentable. He does laundry, makes the BEST breakfast on the weekends and cooks dinner from time to time. He is the go-to person when we need to … [Read more...]

May 26, 2011 by
Where has the time gone? Doesn't it feel like yesterday we were just in January? Or is it just me? Memorial Day is this weekend! Seriously, I feel like time is literally flying by and I don't know if I like it. That means my kids are getting older and I am missing my babies dearly. Sigh. Well, at least we have the holidays coming up which also means good food accompanying the days. I'd thought it would be a great idea to share some of my favorite recipes I have found over the years from … [Read more...]

Last week I was invited to a Hellmann's event featuring Bobby Flay's recipes with the help of Hellmann's mayonnaise. Previously I posted the Miami Cuban Sandwich, which is a scrumptious sandwich. So now I am sharing two more recipes that were demonstrated at the event; The New Orleans Chicken Muffuletta with Spicy Olive Relish Mayonnaise and the New York Turkey Reuben with Thousand Island Coleslaw. Both sandwiches are delicious. I'm a bit of a picky eater and I have to say that the flavors in … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Bobby Flay’s Miami Turkey Cuban Sandwich
April 23, 2011 by Leave a Comment
[Read my Hellmann's recap with Bobby Flay at La.Venue in New York City.] If you ever tasted and savored a real Cubano (Cuban) sandwich, then you know the real deal. It's a sandwich made with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and depending when you get it, sometimes salami on warm Cuban bread. I love my Cubano to be heavy on the roast pork with some mojo (garlic sauce). You can't go wrong with garlic on anything! Well besides sweets like cakes and cookies. ;) After … [Read more...]
EASY & Healthy Recipe: Korean Cucumber Salad (Oinamul)
April 8, 2011 by 3 Comments
I know I said I was a picky eater not liking vegetables and all but I do have to add that I love cucumbers. It's refreshing, low in calories, contains fiber and has vitamin C. Talk about a good thing. I love it in salads and in sandwiches too. Surprisingly my 12 year old enjoys it like she enjoys an apple. Plain with nothing on it. I came across a recipe in the Diabetes Health magazine in my doctor's (endocrinologist - I have Thyroid issues) office a few days ago. Since my mom has … [Read more...]
The EASIEST Way To Hide Veggies in Foods For Kids
April 7, 2011 by 5 Comments
I'm not a proud mama when I say I have two very picky kids when it comes to trying out new foods and veggies. I'm not proud because they are just like their mom. I'm so picky when it comes to veggies because I grew up not liking anything that was green. When it came to fruits, I liked almost all fruits so that's what my mother bought for me instead. I recently came across an article in the April edition of Redbook magazine that I immediately loved, I just had to share it with my lovely … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Bacalao Guisado (Codfish Stew) #SabrosoSaturday
March 11, 2011 by 10 Comments
Ash Wednesday was just a few days ago so that means every Friday until (Lent) Easter, I will be eating meat-less meals with my family. I don't know about you but I LOVE seafood. If I could afford it, I would eat it at least 3 times a week. From shrimp, flounder, crabs, tilapia, salmon - you name it. My most favorite fish is salted codfish (bacalao), which by the way is relatively inexpensive. I remember when I was a little girl I would eat seconds when my mother would make it. She would … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (Sabroso Saturday)
March 5, 2011 by 12 Comments
I love breakfast foods but when it comes to making breakfast, I rather stay in my warm, cozy bed until my back tells me to get out of bed. Usually my husband takes over the breakfast-making duty on the weekends since I make him breakfast and lunch during the week. For me, it's a win-win situation. The weekend is my time to sleep in so the last thing I want to do is to wake up early and start cooking in the kitchen. No way, not me. Give me my coffee and let me be for a couple of hours. Is … [Read more...]
