Nancy Sokoloski commented on Norma Torres's blog post Piña Colada Upside-Down Pancakes + Coconut Rimmed Pineapple Mimosa"I think you mean "griddle" instead of 'grill' when cooking the pancakes. Grill is like for barbeque. This looks delish...thanks."

- About Me
- I consider myself a “foodie”. The love of cooking, creating and still keeping with the old ways of Puerto Rican traditional cooking is my goal. Not only will I concentrate on Puerto Rican dishes, but I will also bring dishes from my childhood days in Venezuela, Spain and the Canary Islands. I have travelled to many wonderful places and we will also journey there. Along the way I'll bring new and old recipes to the table.

Now she is leaving New Jersey and making the grand move to West Hollywood, California and we are taking that journey with her to help her…

As I write this, the husband is at the market buying…

Olgateresa Gonzalez Baigas said… Hi Norma,
I am in New Mexico...the platanos come up from Mexico, but hard to find good ones..they are green and then when ripen they are starchy and not so sweet. I am going to make the Platanos Rellenos...I miss them from my grandma and great grandma...I am excited about this cooking website and look forward to getting more recipes.
