Revised Tilapia
The other day I was at the grocery store and they had whole tilapia on sale. Typically, I purchase fillets, but have always felt that tilapia is so mild in flavor that if I cooked it with the bones and skin still intact, the fish flavor would be stronger. Admittedly, I was a little intimidated with the whole fish. But, once I got over the fish eyes looking back at...

Dia de los Muertos Spicy Chicken and Apple Empanadas
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my mom and other loved ones dear to me that have passed. I’ll catch glimpses of them in other people’s smile, the flowers, the wind, and the stars at night. Still, I enjoy the idea of having one day where we outwardly show our love for those who have moved to ”the other world” every November 2 with...

Picadillo Mexicano Recipe — A Childhood Favorite for LatinoFoodie

The best part of writing a food recipe blog with someone is that you can sit and compare family recipes. Both of our moms were tremendous cooks, but rarely used written recipes. Most of the meals came from what they learned growing up. Recently, we were talking about Picadillos.  We started to laugh because we both had similar stories. Picadillo was a stand-by dish both our mamas would...

The other day we were listening to a podcast where the host interviewed a chef and they mentioned Chicken Tinga. I love the way that sounds!  Now, I don’t think  I’ve ever made Chicken Tinga. I’ve seen it at fiestas especially during Cinco de Mayo or Mexican Independence Day festivities, and also while in Cuernavaca, Mexico with street vendors....
