May 16, 2020 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

I'm not a big breakfast eater, but I sure do love my cafecito... and a little something sweet. Sometimes I grab a big mug of black coffee in the morning... and a little something sweet. When I was growing up breakfast was usually a café con leche... and a little something sweet. Because Cuban. Obviously the constant in my Breakfast Life is... a ...

My latest Melissa's Produce Challenge Box arrived the other day and I was so excited. (Yay.) Let me invite you into my decision-making process when I open that box. Besides the oooh-ing and aaah-ing, I also have a moment where I assess everything that's in it and I make some notes about what food I could make in my attempt to use ALL the ...

Homemade Cherry Pop Tarts Recipe

August 2, 2019 By Marta Darby 4 Comments

I don't know how I've gotten this far in life without making Homemade Pop Tarts. I didn't even know it was A Thing. Did you know it was A Thing?  I guess it's because my old-school Cuban generation was more in love with pastelitos de guayaba. FOR A MILLION GUAVALICIOUS REASONS, but that's not important right now.  So, my friends over at Melissa's ...

A Very Cuban Picnic – “en cajita”

July 18, 2016 By Marta Darby 7 Comments

Summer and outdoor living just go hand in hand, don't they? It seems that since the weather has warmed up we are spending much more of our time outdoors. Sometimes that just means serving dinner out on the patio, but often it means packing a picnic and enjoying it somewhere... out there. Because we live in Southern California, one of my very ...

December 22, 2013 By Marta Darby 3 Comments

I have a recipe today that was kind of a happy accident. Ever since I went up to San Francisco a few months ago to cook my Picadillo, my family has been clamoring for it. Yes, there's been clamoring. For the past few years I've been making my picadillo with ground turkey. It's just become a thing. When I cooked for the Blurb Food ...
