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 a … [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 to … [Read more...]

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...]

September 4, 2010 by 7 Comments
When summer is gone and school is in session, I tend to bake more because I love the way my house smells when there's something baking in the oven. Even more so when it contains pumpkin pie spice. The smells that permeates the air puts me in a great mood. I love anything that is pumpkin -- Pumpkin pie, pumpkin flavored coffee, pumpkin cake, pumpkin bread, you name it, I love it! The one recipe I make every year is the Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Nut Loaf Bread. Ever since I found this recipe … [Read more...]
Easy Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
August 27, 2010 by 8 Comments
When I cook, I rarely use a recipe. I cook how my mother and grandparents taught me. A little bit of this, a little it of that and make sure you taste as you go along. Learning how to cook was fairly easy for me because I grew up in the kitchen with my family. I was always fascinated how they would just add ingredients and rarely measure anything and it was the greatest meal ever. That is how I cook today for my family. I'm like a Latina Rachael Ray because she doesn't measure either. … [Read more...]
How to make Flan | The Easiest recipe EVER!
December 22, 2009 by 7 Comments
Allow me to be honest here. I used to HATE Flan with a passion. It was either too eggy (yuk, I hate that texture) or too "wet & slimy" - yes that is possible. I avoided Flan like the plague...seriously. UNTIL, an old co-worker of mine taught me how to make Flan - nice, rich and creamy. It is so easy. Here's what you need: Blender Cake pan or a pan large enough to hold the flan A large pan to hold water - Baño de María or Bain marie 1-Can of Condensed Milk 1-Can of … [Read more...]
