Bringing Families back to the table one meal at a time.
One more pumpkin spice recipe for the last day of the month. I thought I would make these as a treat for my friends when we get together for Halloween. They are so easy to make, and you can use any cookie you want. I made these with Oreos when I was working on the [...]
This is one of the recipes that use the 2 qt Slow Cooker. Many of the dishes in my new cookbook use this small slow cooker for those who need to make small portions and are new cooks. I made this one festive just in time for Halloween. You will love the spooky look without [...]

I love flan, and I love coconut. I love pretty much everything coconut. This is a super simple recipe. I will say it's easier to make with a flan pan. If you don't have one make the caramel in a saucepan and pour it into your baking dish while still hot. Be careful, melted sugar [...]
Brociole was a dish I learned years ago, one of my family recipes had cooked eggs in the filling. This recipe I created has some of the influence of my Cuban family. When I am cooking, I try to think about what my family will like. So this is a blend of Italy and Cuba [...]

I contemplated putting them as a recipe in an upcoming cookbook. However, I think you will enjoy these now. My [...]
Even though I am traveling, I wanted to make sure I shared a recipe with you. Years ago, when my husband and I were dating, we were at his parents' house studying. My father in law came home late and offered to take us out to a friend's Cuban restaurant. We went, and I ordered [...]
I love Lasagna. However, I am not a fan of all the carbs. I thought it would be fun to use butternut squash instead of noodles. I was so happy with how this turned out. Just don't cut your finger as I did on the mandolin. Use all your safety tools. Serve as a side [...]
As the fall trees change and the brisk winds blow my favorite soup is the potato. I thought this poblano potato soup was just what was needed on a rainy day. I am so happy I had the idea, now it is one of my favorites. I know it will be your new go-to potato [...]
