We belong to a CSA for the summer. For those of you not familiar with what a CSA is, basically its a program where you pay into, and they give you weekly rations of fruits, vegetables, bread and even eggs that are locally and organically grown. I opted to buy it this summer for two [...]

A Ropa Vieja that makes itself (or how I learned to love the crockpot)
Posted in Cuban, Recipes, tagged Crockpot Recipes, Cuban Food, Recipes on October 19, 2010 | 5 Comments »
One of the things my husband and my friends BEG me to cook is Ropa Vieja. Seriously, it goes something like this: “Where are you from?” “I was born in PR my parents are Cuban” “Seriously? So you can make Ropa Vieja“ *sigh* of all the GREAT Cuban dishes, Ropa Vieja is at the top [...]
Healthy Eating

As we plan to get pregnant soon, and I have some pounds to lose (keep your eye out for The Biggest Loser Lambie edition), I’m also taking a second look at the way we eat. I get bombarded (a good thing) on a daily basis by ex-schoolmate Laura Posada who pretty much leads a one [...]

Shame on me for not writing in sooooo long. I don’t blame you if you don’t come around anymore or have taken me off your blogroll. However, try teaching a class, finishing a dissertation and packing a move so you can understand how time limited we are. Still no excuse, I should make time because [...]
Fried Cow

Yes, friends, Vaca Frita. I held off on posting this during Lent because I couldn’t guarantee it wouldn’t fall on a Friday, and since Catholics are not supposed to eat meat on Fridays, I didn’t want to torture any of my readers. Seriously, Vaca Frita on a Lenten Friday, that could be cruel and unusual [...]
¡Tostadas!
Posted in Cuban, Puerto Rican, Recipes, tagged Cuban Food, Recipes on April 9, 2009 | 10 Comments »
There is nothing I miss most living in Rhode Island than being able to have tostadas y café con leche for breakfast. Now, I have café con leche every morning; that is not problem. But tostadas? I can’t even get anything similar to Cuban bread for those. But, Dios ayuda a los pobres, and I [...]
I get Cravings…

No I’m not pregnant, YET. But every once in a while, the Cuban blood in my veins thumps around for something in particular. Something that I’ve not had in a while. Today it was Pan con Bistec. In Miami I would go to the Sergio’s in Bird Road, the one across the Bird Bowl. Man, [...]
Creating My First Crockpot Recipe!
Posted in Adriana, Cuban, Recipes, tagged Crockpot Recipes, Cuban Food, Lent on March 7, 2009 | 11 Comments »
A while back I had asked Marta if she had ever used the crockpot for ablandar frijoles. You see, while I can make MEAN frijoles negros, I am ashamed to say they come out of the can – the Goya con agua y sal can that is. But everytime I’ve tried to make it out [...]

It’s been a while since I posted a recipe….I didn’t want this to be 100% cooking oriented blog. I’m trying to achieve a balance between life and cooking that I hope keeps you the reader entertained! So for your entertainment, I bring you a CHILEAN recipe…because you know, now that I am married to one [...]
A Cuban remedio for the Artic Blast
Posted in Cuban, Recipes on January 18, 2009 | 3 Comments »
It’s been a cold week up here in Rhode Island. We had snow during the week and again today Sunday, so the view outside is beautiful. This week we also had a so called Artic Blast that had us with single digit temperatures for a couple of nights, and in the low teens about three [...]
