Remember those carnivals and fairs when you were a kid? You entered the gates with a stack of tickets in hand ready to hit up all the best rides. Your parents would buy you a wad of cotton candy as big as your head that makes your lips and fingers all sticky. Then you head…

Thanksgiving: Pavochon and My Mami’s Stuffing
I will be in the mid-west this Thanksgiving. Attending and helping with a traditional all American Thanksgiving with LB and JT and their family. I myself haven’t cooked a full Thanksgiving meal since 2001. However I thought that you may be interested to know what you would find on a Puerto Rican Thanksgiving table. First…
Asopao de Camarones
My parents live up in the mountains in Puerto Rico and it can get pretty chilly up there believe it or not. People think of the Caribbean being 80 degrees year round, but that is no the case in PR. There is a mountain range that runs though the center of the island and up…
Where the Wind Comes Sweeping Down the Plain…
If you watched Throwdown last night between Ree (a.k.a The Pioneer Woman) and Bobby Flay, it is likely that you also saw my mug making it’s first appearance on national television. I can’t really begin to describe the amount of anxiety that it brought on, but that is not what this post is about. As…
A Noshery Production: Budín de Pan (Bread Pudding)
I was in a competition. I was ousted of the competition. The next challenge was a video. This is my first attempt at a video. I am very nervous. I say now, u’m and TA-DA! Not to mention other weird sound effects. Ok here we go…. Let me apologize in advance. Sorry, please forgive me…
Are You Ready For A Throwdown?
On August 30, 2010 at approximately 2:46 pm I was sitting in my living room folding laundry when my phone when off notifying me that I had received a direct message through twitter. I opened the email and was convinced that I was reading something wrong or being spammed, so I went to my computer…
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Gouda Cheese Sauce
This morning I was looking at my home page and I realized that there is a lot of orange sweet potato and pumpkin going on. Considering the time of year I think it is very fitting. Maybe I should go red and green when Christmas comes around? Got any green and red recipes that I…
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
Here is my last recipe from my PFB picnic. I have to warn you, although this treat is incredibly delicious it is equally dangerous. It’s one of those goodies that can make you go a little crazy in the head, ultimately finding yourself hidden in the closet eating an entire tray. In fact there may…
Turkey and Sweet Potato Croquettes
Guess what I did this weekend? I vegged out. I sat on the sofa reading a 600 page book and enjoyed every minute of it. It was my first weekend without a challenge to plan and prepare. I can’t lie, I am disappointed that I was ousted of the PFB competition but I learned a…
Herb Roasted Turkey Breast
First I want to say that you all have been awesome, voting for me and supporting me during all these challenges. I know your probably feel a little neglected. I have been so wrapped up in the PFB challenges, my brain doesn’t have much room left to come up with other posts. Also, I was…
