Fancy Hot Chocolate
Chriiiistmaaaas! la, la, la laaaaa! CHRISTMAAAS! la, la, la, la, laaaaa! It’s been unusually cold here in the big old state of Texas and we’ve literally had hot chocolate for the past three days. I’ve got a few recipes down but this one is definitely my favorite.
Tropical Homemade Coconut Ice cream
Coconut ice cream is one of my favorite flavors to devour. On the other hand, I feel very conflicted when it comes to choosing a favorite flavor of ice cream. I have yet to try a flavor, I do not absolutely love, but coconut ice cream is definitely one of my favorites. This recipe is …
Sofrito
As many of you already know, I’m a Puerto Rican. An important part of Puerto Rican cuisine is a particular seasoning known as Sofrito. We put this stuff in everything. I mean everything!

Pasta Salad (Ensalada de Coditos)
I love pasta: any type with any kind of delicious sauce please. During the holidays, there’s a particular kind of side dish we Puerto Ricans cannot get enough of. You know what? Let me actually make the previous statement a little clearer, Puerto Ricans eat this pasta throughout the whole friggin’ year. But, during the …
Coquito
Coquito is a Puerto Rican drink, equivalent to eggnog, made of all that is delicious, pure, and beautiful on this earth. I say eggnog because it’s a drink we usually have during the holidays. However, it does not have an eggy taste at all and it’s more like a coconut liquor, creamy, thing of just justice …
