Porto’s Bake at Home is EVERYTHING

October 10, 2019 By Marta Darby

IMUSA & Autism Speaks (A Giveaway)

April 18, 2012 By Marta Darby 18 Comments

Because we have homeschooled for so many years, we have had the privilege of getting to know, not just other homeschooled kids, but entire families who choose to homeschool their kids.

It’s the Little Things (A Giveaway from IMUSA)

March 1, 2012 By Marta Darby 65 Comments

 Growing up Cuban has always meant turning normal size things into the diminutive form. When there were Everest-sized mountains of sandwiches, they were called "bocaditos." Or "just a mouthful." Lies. It took more than "just a bite" to consume these particular delicacies. We don't just drink café, we have a ...

I was going to do a video and teach you how I ...

How to make Cuban coffee with KILLER espuma. You’re welcome.

June 13, 2011 By Marta Darby 64 Comments

Making Cuban coffee is more art than science. I think I learned how to make Cuban coffee when I was about 8 years old and able to maneuver in the kitchen without hurting anything. It wasn't just a matter of making the coffee itself, there had to be a frothy topping to that café and just the right amount of sweetness. Of course, like anything ...
