    Black Beans and Rice

    Black Beans and Rice are served as a side with basically every Cuban meal. Growing up we would eat them with mojo pork chops or a cuban steak. They’re also great just on their own or with some plantains. I like to put the leftovers on tacos or in salads too! Print Recipe Black Beans…

  • Hungarian Coffee Cake

    Hungarian Coffee Cake

  • Blueberry Muffin

    Blueberry Muffin

    This is another one of my favorite recipes of my Grandma’s. I remember making these with her as a kid in the summers after we had just picked buckets full of fresh blueberries. The secret to how delicious these muffins are is the topping. One time when we were making them we forgot to add…

  • Coconut Chicken Curry

    Coconut Chicken Curry

    This Coconut Chicken Curry is a flavorful quick dinner for a busy weeknight. Especially if you don’t do any of the chopping.

  • Chicken Chili

    Chicken Chili

    I’m not really a big chili person, but I LOVE this chili. It was inspired by a recipe that I lost a long time ago that my roommate’s mom made for us in college and I fell in love with. It’s creamy and just involves a lot of chopping and stirring. Perfect for a cool…

    This was my grandpa’s birthday cake that my grandma would make for him every year. I love it so much that I stole it and now it’s my birthday cake every year too. I like to double the frosting recipe so that there’s extra to snack on because it’s so tasty!
