Be Inspired

It is especially true at this time of year when we have so many things to do… whether it is making cookies, decorating, planning and attending parties, shopping for all our loved ones and racing against the clock…to become so engulfed in what we are doing that we forget to be in the moment with the ones we love. Holding on to the illusion that we always have to be in control robs us of why we are doing all this in the first place. That is why it is even more important now than at any other time of the year to keep things simple, be present in the moment and enjoy your family and friends. Linda and I have learned over the years what is important and what we need to simply let go of. It’s time to enjoy the Christmas season…so we encourage you to do what you can and forget the rest.

Ropa Vieja

Ropa Vieja

Here’s another one of our favorite Latin dishes…Ropa Vieja…a Cuban dish meaning ‘old clothes’ that takes a flank steak and braises it in a rich tomato broth with vegetables until the flank steak is so tender that you can pull it apart with a fork. I typically serve this dish with Rice & Black Beans and Maduros on the side. Then the very next day we wrap up the leftover Ropa Vieja along with the Rice & Black Beans in large tortillas and have ourselves delicious burritos! Love those leftovers… Continue reading

Well I know I’m not the only one because if you follow us you saw Linda’s awesome sandwich yesterday… here is how I used some of my turkey and the leftover dinner rolls too… Continue reading

Pork Carnitas

Pork Carnitas

I know, I know, Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I should be posting something I’m going to make for Thanksgiving but in my house it’s Taco Tuesday! My favorite day of the month and I just can’t help myself!! This is the time when I get to experiment with different flavors of tacos. On tonight’s menu are Pork Carnitas. Traditionally, Pork Carnitas are made with heavy cuts of pork such as shoulder or butt that are well seasoned and braised for several hours, then pulled apart. But today’s Pork Carnitas cook much quicker and are still just as delicious. Seasoned ground pork does its job well in these tasty tacos…A very quick and tasty meal today since Thursday we’ll be on our feet all day cooking… Continue reading
