Authentic Chiles Rellenos Recipe
•
While not a quick weeknight dinner, chiles rellenos are worth the effort they require. Scorching the peppers concentrates the flavor into a deep, nostalgic flavor. The light and fluffy batter is the perfect pair with the melty, cheesy filling. When I think about chiles rellenos, I think about Saturday nights with family, dinners out with friends,…

Easy Breakfast Blueberry Muffins
•
One of the biggest issues I didn’t foresee about being an adult was the constant struggle of trying to think of a healthy filling breakfast. I wake up before work with an overwhelming sense that nothing is going in a pan. In fact, nothing is even going in the toaster most days. This usually leaves me eating another…

Simple Lemon Olive Oil Yogurt Cake Recipe
•
I’ve always loved a lemon flavored dessert. Rich, dark chocolate has its place, but there’s something about the light, citrus sweetness that is perfect for any occasion. When I was a kid, my abuela would make lemon squares every summer, lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I loved the sweet and sour combination, the delicate crumb of the crust. This recipe was…

Easy Mexican Rice Recipe
•
Since I was a child, a meal has never felt complete without a side of rice. While I love plain white rice, cilantro rice, and any other variety, classic tomato rice has always been the one I crave the most.

Cuban black beans, frijoles negros, are a staple of Cuban cooking.

Crispy Wok-Fried Green Beans Recipe
•
These green beans are for the part of the meal where everything feels a little heavy and you want something sharp, fast, and loud enough to cut through it. Wok-frying gives them blistered spots and a little chew, the kind of texture that keeps you reaching back into the bowl instead of politely moving on. They’re not trying…

Crispy and Easy Oven-Baked Cauliflower Recipe
•
This is the recipe I make when I’ve been on a vacation or right after the holidays when my body is screaming for a vegetable but I’m still craving something comforting. This is the ultimate side dish when a salad just won’t do. My dad made this for my brother and I when my brother was just starting his foray into cooked…

Lime and Cilantro Pan-Seared Salmon Recipe
•
I have a confession. I used to hate seafood. When my abuela put a fresh plate of bacalao in front of me, I dreaded the agonizing process of picking the meat from tiny, almost microscopic bones. I couldn’t even focus on the flavor. Fried fish and shrimp was no better. I didn’t have the bones to contend with, but I still had…

Easy Applesauce Muffins Recipe
•
When I was in college, the highlight of every fall was going to the apple orchard with my friends. Putting on cute jackets and walking through rows upon rows of apple trees, laughing and taking photos, will always be some of my favorite memories. We often broke the central rule and ate one or two apples straight off…

Easy Yogurt Parfait Recipe – A Healthy Breakfast or Snack
•
This recipe is more about putting things together than any actual cooking, which makes it one of my go-to weekday breakfasts. The secret is a delicious homemade granola that you make ahead (or your favorite brand from the store), seasonal fruit, and your favorite whole milk yogurt. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on…
