Dear Reader, As a child growing up, I was surrounded by so many people that loved to cook. I don’t know whether it’s in my blood or if they impacted me so profoundly but, I do know that food is one of my passions. Watching my grandmother and father in the kitchen was awesome! Having the family gather at the table and laughing our hearts away was precious. Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) parties featuring a roasted pig in the “Caja China” & playing dominoes are moments that I will never forget.

Easy and Delicious No-Bake Guava Cheesecake Recipe
Happy Sunday Everyone! Today I’m going to introduce you to my recipe for an Easy and Delicious No-Bake Guava Cheesecake! As some of you may have read in my intro, I am a LOVER of ALL things GUAVA! I was born & raised in Miami and, grew up in a Cuban household. Since I was a child my grandmother would tell me how she would make fresh batches of Guava Marmalade in Cuba. A marmalade so sweet and delicious that EVERYONE had something to say about it. Growing up with these stories, my love for food opened my eyes and tastebuds (of course) to trying new things.

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. Of course, I was a chubby little girl eager to be her taste tester. My grandmother would spend hours working her magic in what I always believed was her favorite room in her house. Honestly, till this day I have not found Cuban food as good as hers. I wish I had her longer so that she could teach me her ways. Although she is not with us today, I honor her memory with my love for…
