Hi Everyone! Happy Kikko de Mayo! I have been practically losing sleep thinking of all the stuff I can make with my Japanese goodies. (Sadly, I'm completely serious here.) And I'm delighted to have been able to participate in this fabulous giveaway. Thanks, Kikkoman! I want to thank you all for your comments and tell you how impressed I ...

Lime & Ponzu Carne Asada Recipe (I think I’m turning Japanese. I really think so.)
So there I was, cooking Cuban food and minding my own business, when I received an email from the lovely folks at Kikkoman. Yes, you know them best as the Japanese soy sauce people. They were inviting me to try some of their products. Really? You know I'm a Cuban cook, right? (I was intrigued, but not convinced.) Ponzu, which they explained ...
I *heart* olive oil.
I don't know what staple of my kitchen I love more than olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil to be exact. (Please don't call it EVOO in my presence, that's just weird. Thank you.) So I was delighted when the good folks at Crisco contacted me and asked if I'd like to receive a basket of their goodies. (Well, technically, a basket of ...
Fresh and Easy Does It Every Time!
The following post has been brought to you by the lovely and talented Kikita (who is still practicing her cooking skills).There are perks to being Mami's "driver/photographer." I get to see and do a lot of cool things.I'm sure Mami has every intention of sharing with you the fantastic experience that came from ...
Epicuriouser and curiouser…
So, I'm still recovering from the Comelatas that defined the month of December for me. And I'm still struggling to migrate my files from the old Mac G5 to the new (Thank you, God and my sweet husband!) Macbook Pro laptop. There have been multiple trips to the Apple store to consult Geniuses and of course there's a learning curve, but ...
Whole lotta latte
Kikita here! Last week, Mami and I stumbled into a weird and wonderful world.(Ok, we didn't really stumble, we were invited and we took Lucy & Katie with us, but that's not important right now.) A land of milk and honey. (Ok, mostly milk and I don't think there was any honey at all, but that is not important right now ...
Celebrating National Guava Month (Oh, yes I am.)
It's a special Monday, Pre-Thanksgiving Edition of Marta's Cuban American Kitchen. I have been trying, without much success, to declare November "National Guava Month." Sadly, no one seems to take me seriously about this, but that's not important right now. I've taken up the cause on my own. And today I'm all ...
I scream. You scream. We all scream….
When I was pregnant with Amy (26 years ago) there was only one thing that I constantly craved.Ice cream.Not just any old pedestrian-out-of-the-carton ice cream, either. It had to be from Baskin Robbins. There happened to be a BR just up the street, walking distance (technically, waddling) from my home at the time. And during my 9 months of ...
I do not think it means what you think it means…
Adam was looking pretty great the other day. But there was some confusion over a conversation he had with my mom. We had a good laugh over it. But we also had a great meal. Click on over to Babalú today and see the most gorgeous Roast Chicken ever - Pollo Asado. That's where you'll find the whole crazy-mixed-up story.Totally ...
Cooking with The Boy
I have to admit that my kids (all four of them) are usually great sports when it comes to any projects I ask them to get involved with. (Eric would most likely insert the term "harebrained" somewhere in here, but that's not important right now. =D) I especially love when they show enthusiasm in spite of not having all the ...
