“Move Over Mojo.” – A Giveaway

November 18, 2013 By Marta Darby 59 Comments

I've been blogging since 2006. In that space of time and all across the internet, I've made some really wonderful friends.

One of those is the lovely don't-hate-me-because-I'm-beautiful Ana Quincoces. Recently seen on Real Housewives of Miami – she was the smart and classy one – Ana is a talented chef and quite the delightful personality. If you're curious as to how we met (and also want a killer, stuffed, Cuban French toast recipe) read that story right here.

Ana Quincoces is one of the most genuine people I've ever met and I feel privileged to call her my friend. In June when the Miami Heat won the championship and my daughter, Amy was also in Miami, I made sure she and Ana found each other at Versailles some time around midnight. (Just call me Mission Control.)

Amy and Ana

Ana has recently developed a new all-purpose marinade called Skinny Latina Million Dollar Marinade.

Last week, this package of awesomeness arrived.

Million dollar marinade 1

You know how much I love shortcuts when I cook. This marinade is the perfect beginning to any sauce. Ana calls it, "Cooking for dummies in a bottle. Move over, mojo!"

To help celebrate the launch of Ana's fabulous Skinny Latina Million Dollar Marinade, I'd like to offer one lucky MBFCF reader a case (six 12 oz. bottles) of this amazing stuff. It's low calorie, glutten-free, and delicious. Win!

On her site, Ana has recipes for 8 different sauces using her MDM as a base. Find those recipes right here.

Million dollar marinade

To enter this drawing for A Case of Skinny Latina Million Dollar Marinade, please leave a comment on this post and answer the following:

~ Tell me your favorite go-to recipe that's in heavy rotation at your house.

Please leave your comment on this post and I'll choose one winner on Wednesday, November 20th, 2013 at 8 pm PST.

Also, I feel like I have to add this disclaimer for the benefit of all my readers:

You don't have to be Cuban to enter any of my giveaways. That is all.

    HOLA! My go to recipe that is in heavy rotation in my casa is Roasted Pork, Frijoles negros and platanitos. Mami makes a HUGE batch of Frijoles negros when I visit her and she puts them in containers for me. I then freeze them and have them whenever we crave them. When I run out, it’s time to take another trip to Miami. We live in Tampa. I absoluetly love your blog, it’s a little taste of home. Gracias!

    I am Chinese-Cuban, my hubby is Irish-American and my daughter is a delightful mix of the two of us. Our go to meal is chicken anything, roasted, breaded, etc., but we’re getting very bored and need a new way of giving chicken a new flavor. In a pinch, my mom makes the best frijoles negros and always makes extra for us…then we have the best comfort food ever…frijoles negros con arroz y huevos fritos y Materva!!!!

    Hola, Being in a Cuban house hold your recipes are all in rotation here HONESTLY. Me and mi abuelita love them all but when it comes to la hora de la comida we have your Ropa Vieja every week on our ‘Abuela and Me cooking time’! There’s nothing more delicious for us than that meaty-veggie Cuban dish. Also I’m so glad I have mastered my flan skills thanks to your recipe so easy to do and to take to any party/gathering a Latin favorite.I love Ana Quincoces, living here in Miami I have wished to meet her and of course the rest of the cast of RHOM ( Alexia Echaverria, Marysol Patton) hopefully some day.
    Muchas Gracias,
    Andres y Andrea Hernandez 🙂

    My go to one is picadillo. The kids love it and my American husband can’t be without it. I make it once a week. Give it a different twist, I put it on top of the hot dogs for the kids on inside the hamburger buns. Skinny Latina would go great with my picadillo.I love Ana in the housewives of Miami. She was real.

    My must have recipe in rotation at home specially when the grandkids come over, that’s must of the weekends, we have nine of them, is Pollo Juanito, it is a chicken dish made up by my cousin’s Tata in Cuba because he would not eat anything else, so she invented it and because we loved it we still make it after 55 years…Thank you Tata…I bet if we substitute the regular mojo that we marinate the chiken with with this delicious looking Million Dollar Marinade it would become another fabulous tradition… thank you for the opportunity and love and blessings to all

    I would like to say that I was born in Miami moved to Chicago ( where there weren’t many Cuban seasoning a lot more Mecican and Puerto Rican ) and then moved back down to Miami not too long ago with my kids. I can say that mi mami taught me how to cook all sorts of Cuban food but I also learned with Carmencita from Que Pasa USA … LOL Anyhow, I have cooked with food network chef Robert Irvine from Restsurant Imposdible, with Iron Chef Michael Symon, with Food Network Chef Curtis Stone so I absolutely love to cook but have always wanted to show my family a different and great seasoning for our favorite recipe of carne con papas. They all love it at home ( including myself ) and would be wonderful to give it a little kick. De verdad que luce rico!!!

    My go to is ‘ picadillo a la rapida’ with sundried tomatoes. Brown the meat, add chopped purple onions and sazon completa. Mash with a fork throughout on med-high heat. As the groundbeef lets all the fat out, add tomato paste and a good bunch of sundries tomatoes in oil(drain the oil!). My people prefer it without bell pepper, so add it if you like. Keep stirring and separating the meat until it is all cooked, lower heat and cover.Zap some Uncle Ben’s white rice, open a bag of mariquotas and ‘Ya esta la comida!’
    God bless:)

    Easiest ‘go-to’ recipe: A version of Chicken Pot Pie that calls for a can of Progresso chicken & wild rice soup, two Pillsbury Butter Tastin’ Biscuits, and a slice of your favorite cheese. Scoop the soup evenly into two ramekins; put a folded slice of cheese on top, then a biscuit on top of that. (The cheese keeps it from sinking & adds cheesey goodness). Bake in the oven according to temp & time suggested for biscuits (I forget!). Enjoy!

    My flan is a “must” at all my family get togethers. Everyone thinks it’s so difficult but it’s NOT! Una lata de leche condensada, una lata de leche evaporada, 5 huevos, un poco de vainilla y una pizca de sal. My cake de guayaba is also a big hit!

Then to stir it in with the rest of the marinated ingredients and eat it with a side of white rice. Buen Provecho 🙂

    The dish that is in heavy rotation at my house is “frijoles colorados.” I loveeee them ever since I was a little boy. I make them at least two times a month. My mom taught me how to make them when I moved out of their house to live on my own. Also and of course “white rice.” I think that is a heavy rotation dish in ANY Cuban home.

    Hi There! I have to say the favorite recipe at my house has to be picadillo. I make a lot of it and freeze the left overs for another day. I make do-it-yourself hard shell tacos, and place little dishes with dut up onions, tomatoes, shredded cheese, lettuce. I will make a pasta sauce with it or add it to mac and cheese. Other times I make enchiladas in the oven, and of course the traditional, with rice and black beans, platanitos maduros and salad. My picadillo goes a long way! Thanks!!!

    I think the size of chicken breasts has changed dramatically since Julia Child’s day, which could account for some of her shorter cook time.

For me, Hispanic Heritage Month must be celebrated For me, Hispanic Heritage Month must be celebrated with The Food Of My People. 🇨🇺What an absolute delight to find  delicious Cuban food right here in Downtown Disney. 🎉
@kikiscubanfoodtruck was every thing my Cuban-food-craving-heart could ever desire.
🇨🇺🥳❤️We pretty much ordered everything on the menu: Cubanos, Yuca Frita, maduros, black beans, papas rellenas, and lechón asado; all cooked to perfection and washed down happily with Materva, Iron Beer, and Malta Hatuey. 🍺Kiki herself is a talented red-headed Cuban beauty who runs the truck with boyfriend, Mitchell and represents us so very well. 👩🏻‍🦰Full disclosure: I judge every Cuban restaurant by their black beans. (It’s true.) Theirs were pretty perfect. 🙌🏼So proud of this Cubanita! We will most certainly follow this delicious food truck around the Southland.
Thank you, @kikiscubanfoodtruck for your gracious hospitality. 😘If you’re in Southern California, go find this truck and tell them Marta sent you! 👋🏼Also, the black beans?
