Cuban Food Posters For The Win

October 18, 2016 By Marta Darby

More reminiscing about what I've been doing for the past 10 years here on the blog and another giveaway today. It starts with a beautiful sofrito. The intricate dance between the warm olive oil giving life and flavor to the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. I could write poetry about the perfection that is a sofrito that signals the beginning ...

On the Set of ABC’s American Housewife

October 18, 2016 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

The hardest job in the world? Being a mom. You put your heart and soul into raising people and while the rewards are indescribable, the weight of responsibility can be soul crushing.  Ask any mom and they'd tell you that while all that is true, they wouldn't trade it for anything.  Motherhood is the perfect dichotomy. Am I right? Along with this ...

Who’s a Hungry Cuban?

October 17, 2016 By Marta Darby

Blogging has afforded me the incredible blessing of meeting people from all over the country. Mostly Cubans who connect with my stories of growing up in the cultural weirdness of being 100% Cuban and 100% American. I have an online friend who is an accomplished chef in his own right, who makes an amazing paella. We connected over - what else? - ...

Santayana Brings the Charm

October 12, 2016 By Marta Darby

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Santayana Jewelry. I think any Cuban worth their salt owns a piece by them. If you're interested in their "Coming to America" story - which I know you totally are - please click on this link, "Cuando Sali De Cuba, Elena's Story." You're welcome. As you probably have guessed by now, I'm still celebrating my 10 ...

A Decade of Blogging – There Should be Cake

October 6, 2016 By Marta Darby 5 Comments

It's hard to think of things I've been doing consistently for 10 years. Well, besides personal grooming, like brushing my teeth, or cooking meals for my family or doing laundry. Okay, so I guess I've been doing lot of things for the past decade, but that's not important right now. I'm celebrating my occupation of this particular space of the ...

Cuban S’mores Recipe

October 3, 2016 By Lucy Darby 2 Comments

Ah, summer. It's been a long, hot, beautiful summer. And frankly, to me, summer means All-American food. Burgers and hot dogs and stuff like that. Eric picked up a fire-bowl-thing a few weeks ago from Home Depot. He thought it might be fun to enjoy a fire in our back yard every now and then. And he was right. We're kind of loving it.  The ...

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Farmland® and Latina Bloggers Connect. But, of course, all opinions are my own. Recipe Development - let’s discuss this for a moment.  When I hear the term, “Recipe Development,” I think of scientist types in an expansive, pristine kitchen, clothed in white lab coats and safety goggles. Because ...
