Chicken Pillows!

Fluffy, amazing comfort food at its finest. I was intimidated to cook this at first, but they are so easy and delicious. Easily one of Andrew's favorites.

Vodka Pasta

No, you can't get drunk off this pasta. Yes, you do use real Vodka. 
​Somehow my mom heard of it and then she passed on the recipe to me. It's a crowd pleaser.
*We use ready-made alfredo sauce instead of the heavy cream.

Banana Bars

Whenever I have overly ripe bananas and I need a quick dessert, I go straight to this recipe. For banana-lovers only.
Beware: these banana bars are quite addicting.

Rolo Cheesecake Bars

These bad-boys are a guilty pleasure. They look beautiful, they taste amazing, and they are actually not crazy-difficult to make.  I had friends and family begging for the recipe after I made them for a party. 

Kababs and Grilled Pineapple

Grilling season is upon us, and we love it! Teriyaki chicken kababs and cinnamon sugar grilled pineapple make for an easy meal that has quickly become a favorite.

Ropa Vieja (Cuban dish)

Literally translated, Ropa Vieja is "old clothes". This Cuban dish has shredded flank steak in a delicious tomato sauce with sautéed onions and green peppers. Load it over white rice and serve it with a side of tostones or platanos maduros fritos (fried planatains, salty or sweet variations) and a tomato salad, and you'll be experiencing the good life: Cuban style.
