Gorton's Recipe Challenge

Did you know that shrimp are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which starve tumor cells and help fight cancer? Yes! Recent studies show that eating 8 or 9 shrimp a day can help reduce breast cancer risk. I'll take it! I could eat shrimp everyday in various ways. Whether it's grilled, fried, baked, boiled, in salads -- I'm all for eating shrimp any day. I'm so glad that Gorton's makes it extremely easy for busy parents like myself to have dinner on the table in minutes. After working an eight … [Read more...]

My kids are back in school and I'm sure I'm not the only happy, ok ECSTATIC parent about school finally starting. ;) We are on day two and I couldn't be more happier! After a long, boring summer, I'm so glad my kids are back to a schedule and to some well-needed structure. We couldn't do much this past summer because of my crazy work schedule but I'm hoping next summer will be a whole lot different. Now that the kids are back in school, I always make sure we have our fridge stocked with … [Read more...]

EASY Recipe: SouthWestern Pulled Pork & Roasted Potato Medallions (Courtesy of Target)

Target

Several months ago, I went to an event that was sponsored by Target showcasing various products by Giada De Laurentiis in addition to Archer Farms items, sold exclusively by Target. At the event, I found numerous products that I would buy for my family and for any get-together in my home.  I tried out some really good foods such as Bacon Cheeseburger Pizzas, Apple Streusel Pancakes and Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Olives & Lemon but the one food that stood out to me were the … [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...]

Thank goodness the holidays are over and done with.  Aren't you glad? I'm so over Christmas, the tree, the lights, the food (well almost) and all the gifts.  All the hoopla is now gone from my system.  Now it's time to concentrate on something I haven't done in a few weeks and that is to post my succulent recipes. I know you all have been waiting. ;) Last night I made one of my family's favorite dish -- Puerto Rican-Styled Pepper Steak.  It's an easy recipe that I created with the help of … [Read more...]

  This past November I was given the opportunity to makeover my fridge with the help of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.  They helped me by providing some useful tools and some very needed information on how to deep clean my fridge and how to store foods. I chose to really deep clean my fridge right before Thanksgiving because my menu was full of delicious meals that would definitely leave leftovers for the weekend so I needed all the room that I can get. With 3 kids, a husband … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Bistec Encebollado (Steak & Onions)

BistecEncebollao

I remember visiting my grandparents every weekend when I was a little girl.  I was always filled with excitement when I knew we were going over.  My grandparents were my parent the first 3 months of my life because my mother got very sick after she had me.  I guess you can say that is the reason why I had a special bond with them -- not because they are my grandparents. My abuelo (grandfather) was the chef of the house.  He would always create the tastiest meals ever.  Everyone would … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Potato Pancakes With Avocado & Eggs (Sabroso Saturday)

October 9, 2010 By 16 Comments

When I woke up this morning, I thought to myself, I've got to get a recipe up on my blog for Sabroso Saturday.  I was thinking of my version of empanadas (which I will post soon) but I wanted to post pics with it too. So then I thought maybe I'll add a breakfast recipe and was wondering what to write. Like any other morning, I drank my coffee with one of my favorite magazines like Everyday with Rachael Ray trying to get inspired with one of the recipes. In the October issue, I spotted … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Healthy Tuna Fish Sandwich (Sabroso Saturday)

September 25, 2010 By 13 Comments

After seeing Go Red Por Tu Corazon on TV last week, I have to be honest and say I've set my mind to eating right and cooking healthy for my family.  I don't want to have heart disease at an early age and I certainly don't want my family to suffer from that either. I was so happy when I was invited to an event about making one night a week a sandwich night with the Deen Brothers from the Food Network.  I chose the Tuna Fish Sandwich from the event because it is tasty, healthy and very easy … [Read more...]

Easy Recipe: Chicken Gyros – By Bobby Flay (Sabroso Saturday)

September 18, 2010 By 10 Comments

I saw this recipe being made right before my eyes at a Hellmann's event this past week (full event post coming up) made by Iron Chef Bobby Flay with the help of Lori Loughlin (Becky from Full House).  It was one of my favorite recipes that they made because not only was it easy to make, but it is healthy and very tasty. I'm one who is very picky when it comes to veggies (yes, I know, that is bad!) but with this recipe, I found out that I love fresh spinach.  Who would've thought! I never … [Read more...]
