Pumpkin soup in a Mexican house?? Hahaha... no, not really something I grew up eating, but why not?? It would be hard not to want to cook with fresh pumpkins when they are all around me this time of year. In the past I would have used canned pumpkin for my recipe, but after watching my tia (aunt)…

Frijoles a la Charra... or frijoles borrachos, because of the beer!The real drunken beans, the way my Mom use to make them. She would usually prepare these on those summer nights of carne asada, ribs, and grilled chicken tacos. I could still smell the…

Like in the U.S., summer cookouts are popular in Spain too. However, rather than a “do your own,” residents and visitors head to the chiringuitos. These can be beach bars that serve food or open air picnic style areas with large pits preparing and serving BBQ style fish,…

Have you ever rediscovered the value of something long forgotten? Reacquainted yourself with an old friend? Isn't it the best feeling in the world? I've had this little Panamanian cookbook for over 20 years -- it has the wear, tear and stains to prove it -- I think I've only pulled it out about 3 times a year for each year I've lived here. That's like 60…

This is a good replacement for the standard mashed potatoes, just giving ya some options, you see?

These peppers work snuggled in front of a fireplace with a glass of wine or taking in the sun on the patio with a cold beer.



The peppers shine on their… Continue
