This double crust chicken pot pie is like no other you’ve tasted! Instead of a cream-based filling, it has a tomato base with raisins and olives. This is a Cuban version of chicken pot pie called pastelón de pollo. You can usually find pastelón de pollo at Cuban bakeries and some Cuban restaurants. In fact, this recipe is from the famous Versailles Restaurant on Calle Ocho in Little Havana.

What I love the most about malanga fritters is the CRUNCH! Frituras de malanga, as they are called in Spanish, are a super crunchy Cuban appetizer that’s quick and easy to make. My daughter and I love them, especially with a drizzle of Sriracha mayo or lime cilantro sauce. It’s a super Cuban thing but not as popular as maduros or plantain chips. Well, I’m glad I can give them a little hype today, because they do deserve it!

My brother loves Mami’s Pulpeta recipe and asked me to post it ASAP so he can make it. So even though it’s the middle of summer right now, I’m posting this ultimate comfort food recipe. Pulpeta is the Cuban version of meatloaf made with lots of love and Cuban sazón.

Pan Con Tomate is a super easy and very traditional Spanish tapas that is deceptively simple and so, so amazing! I must confess that I just recently tried this, although it’s something my mom loves and has told me about. It just seemed too simple to be a “thing.” But I stand so, so corrected!

Sangria is just such a party drink! You can dress it up with whatever fruit you fancy and make it a little more or less strong, just right for your crowd. Can you just picture yourself with a pitcher of sangria (to share, of course), a nice cheese board or some BBQ tapas on a lazy Saturday afternoon?

This easy shortcake recipe is my favorite! If you love strawberry shortcake, but don’t always want to make the shortbread part, this recipe was made for you. I used Maria Crackers that soften overnight, just like in an icebox cake. And the flavors! This shortcake recipe combines strawberries and guava, two flavors that work so well with whipped cream. It’s also very pretty and can be dressed up in so many ways!
