Recipes

You’ll notice that most of the seasonings don’t have exact measurements. That is because in true Latina form, I do things “to taste” or I eyeball it. I’ve been cooking for more than thirty years and usually only baking requires an exact hand. So, as you get use to looking at my recipes, you’ll also get used to the flavor that certain ingredients have and decide how much or how little of certain things you will use moving forward. I hope you enjoy making these dishes as much as I do. I love cooking. I love seeing the look on someone’s face when they’re trying something that I’ve made them for the first time. Even more so, I love having friends request I prepare certain dishes, because even when they eat out, they haven’t a dish as good as the one I prepared for them. I’m not hiding anything in my recipes, I promise there will never be a missing ingredient that I leave out, so your dish won’t taste as good as mine. That’s never my intention. However, there is a layer of experience and love that goes into cooking for me that I cannot quite transfer into your hands. Don’t get mad if you make something and it doesn’t taste exactly as when I made it last for you. Just tweak the recipe slightly to make it your own.
