“Elena Ruz” Turkey Sandwich Recipe
Greetings Everyone 🙂 ! To give you some background, the “Elena Ruz” Sandwich started in a restaurant called “El Carmelo” located in El Vedado, Havana, Cuba.

Abuelita’s Chicken Fricassee (Grandma’s Fricase de Pollo)
Hola My Friends! I was thinking back on my childhood and how much I worshipped my grandmother’s cooking. As soon as I would get home from school I’d head straight for her kitchen.

Although she is not with us today, I honor her memory with my love for…
