All four of my kids are grown now, but it wasn't too long ago that we religiously made plans to watch whatever new Disney offering was available. In fact, we haven't missed a Disney film yet. You know that we love All Things Disney (especially Disneyland, see my Disney Scavenger Hunt as proof). That love affair started for me when I was ...

Art Attack! – A Giveaway
One of the benefits of living my life so publicly on the blogosphere is that I get to meet some amazing people online. (Yes, I know how it sounds, but believe me, the folks I meet through My Big, Fat, Cuban Family are wonderful!) Maria Soto Robbins is one of those. Here is her blog. We had been friends on Facebook and she has been a faithful reader ...

Cookbook Giveaway – Winner!
I've decided that what I love best about doing a giveaway, besides actually giving cool stuff away (duh) is reading your stories. Those tidbits of your lives that you share with me in the comments is like gold. If you just leave a comment and run (thank you, for commenting!), that's fine. But if you have a moment, please go back and read ...

My mom taught us girls how to cook when we were very young. During the summers, when my sisters and I were out of school, she devised a rotating system of teaching us Homemaking, the Cuban Way. My older sisters were already married and gone, but the three of us younger ones, Miriam, Alina and myself still needed to be groomed to be Perfect Cuban ...
Que Rica Vida Goodies Winner
Thanks to all of you lovely commentors commentators folks who left a comment for the Que Rica Vida goodies. I truly like knowing what General Mills products you use.

Wow! Okay, three things...I am amazed and grateful and a little overwhelmed at the generous outpouring of kindness and good wishes from all of you. I am sad that I can't give something away to every single person. I am excited to send stuff to three of you. =)I made a list of all your names in order of comment and plugged that into ...
