In the hierarchy of proteins pork is king in Puerto Rico, and there is no place that more clearly defines authentic Puerto Rican food and our love for pork then a small stretch of road along Rt.184 in Cayey Puerto Rico. Tucked away up in the mountains of Cayey is pork heaven, a mile of…

My Favorite Things to Do in Puerto Rico: Old San Juan
I am SOOOO excited!!! OB and I just bought tickets to go home to Puerto Rico for Christmas!!! It’s probably been ten years since the last time I spent Christmas in Puerto Rico. I have been home to visit plenty of times since then but, not for Christmas. I plan on attending my sister’s Christmas…
Strawberry Jalapeño Salsa
I like most people have an appreciation for salsa. Anytime I go to a restaurant and chips and salsa are placed before me I can not help but, stuff my face with chip after chip. Time and time again I try to demonstrate some semblance of self-control when a bowl of chips and salsa is plopped…
Summer Recipes
Before the weekend comes around I am full of plans of productivity. Plans of what project I am going to tackle and what activities I’m going to do but, sometimes the best-laid plans are pointless. Especially when you run into a marathon of Jurassic Park movies. I’d seen the original Jurassic Park multiple times, but I…
Summer Strawberry Salad with Grilled Chicken
One of my favorite things to eat during the summer is a hearty salad with grilled meat. A bowl of salad greens and charred grilled meat is the perfect summertime dinner.

Chipotle Mango and Coconut Rice Pudding
Last month I traveled to Avery Island, Lousiana to visit the home of Tabasco. It was two days spent completely immersed in the operations and history of Avery Island, the McIlhenny Family and Tabasco sauce. You can see photos of my trip here. Along with the trip, I’ve been asked to create recipes using sauces…
23 Memorial Day Recipes
Sorry, I’ve been MIA for a bit it’s been a little crazy! Not crazy like normal life stuff. It’s crazy weather and tech stuff. For the last two weeks, we have been under threat of either severe thunderstorms, flooding or tornadoes watches. It’s been fun! Especially when living in a camper. Thank goodness the only…
