Cuban Fried Rice | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Cuban Fried Rice
My son’s birthday was coming up and since I had ventured to make my daughter’s birthday cake and frosting , I knew I wanted to make a big Sunday dinner feast for my son. No cake this time, as I was going to order a Cookie Monster cake from Sweetness Bakeshop for my little cookie monster. What better recipe than a Cuban favorite – Arroz Frito and Arroz Frito Especial . In case you’re wondering,...read more...Posted on: Aug 12 2010 - 12:25:00 AMCuban Spaghetti and Meatballs | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Cuban Spaghetti and Meatballs
I’ve made Nitza’s albondigas (meatballs) before, but this time, we’re making it Milanese style. The difference between this version and her regular albondigas ? The meat is a mix of beef, pork and ham instead of beef alone and in this version, you add queso Patagrás (Gouda cheese). This Milanese version also omits green peppers, which the original albondigas have, so I’d venture to say that...read more...Posted on: Jul 14 2010 - 10:30:00 PMBoliche, Moros y Cristianos: Sunday Dinner at its best | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Boliche, Moros y Cristianos: Sunday Dinner at its best
In my life, I swear I don’t think I’ve ever had boliche. And if I did, I didn’t know it was named boliche. I didn’t even realize that "carne asada con naranja" (as it is named in the cookbook) was boliche until my mother in law pointed it out. When I asked some folks at work about their boliche experiences, I was told that Galiano Supermarket had great boliche meat (Herald Top Chef Silvi) and that...read more...Posted on: Jul 12 2010 - 12:00:00 AMCream of Spinach Soup | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Cream of Spinach Soup
Now that I’ve hit the fifth cream of vegetable soup, I’ll spare you any extra details and get right to the point. Recipe #11: Sopa de Espinacas a la Crema Let’s see if we can get this down to five steps: 1. Melt butter in the microwave. 2. Osterize flour, milk, salt and raw spinach. 3. Add the melted butter. 4. Osterize again. 5. Heat in a soup pot over low heat until heated through. This...read more...Camarones Enchilados (almost Shrimp Creole) | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Camarones Enchilados (almost Shrimp Creole)
When I was little, I remember Good Friday was made up of no radio, no TV, no going out to play, no laughing. You basically would sit in the house all day and think about Good Friday. I typically would spend the day with my grandparents and they’d remind me – no radio, no TV. Sit in the dark in el Florida (Florida Room), and think about why Jesus died for us. Geez, abuelo , I’m only eight years old. Can I at...read more...Posted on: Jun 11 2010 - 12:00:00 AMBaking a Cuban Cake | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Baking a Cuban Cake
My daughter’s fifth birthday was coming up and for her party, she asked that we bake a Louis the Alligator cake. Louis, as in the big, jazz playing alligator from the Princess and the Frog. A cake. Me, bake a cake. For her birthday party. For many many people. And not just any cake. No, of course not. A green alligator cake, with goofy eyeballs and green m&m scales on his tail....read more...Sopa de Chicharos (Split Pea Soup) | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Sopa de Chicharos (Split Pea Soup)
For the longest time, until my early twenties, I didn't know what a chicharo was. I actually didn't know much about beans, for that matter. Yes, I know it may sound strange that this Cubanita didn't know much about beans, but it wasn't until I started dating my husband and family that I learned the power of the bean, and of bean soups. Seriously, it's because of that threat that your mom gives you before you...read more...Cuban Coleslaw | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Cuban Coleslaw
There are a total of 37 ensalada (salad) recipes in The Project. For those of you that are familiar with Cuban salads, you won’t be surprised to read that 30 of the 37 have mayonnaise as an ingredient. Most of those 30 also have cream cheese in them, along with the mayo. The remaining seven? One is a Caesar salad, so you end up making your own mayonnaise in the dressing; one uses bacon grease; one...read more...Chocolate Mint Coconut Cookies | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Chocolate Mint Coconut Cookies
I should have known from the way this recipe found it’s way to me that it was going to be a memorable one. It wasn’t because of the Cuban-ness of it, as I actually have never had these cookies before nor have met anyone that has made them. No, it was more because of the way my coworker, Ibby, pulled a fast one on me. Before I knew it, I had volunteered to bake for our Haiti fundraiser. This was not me on so many...read more...Sangüiche Gigante | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Sangüiche Gigante
It’s a giant sandwich. A giant, three tiered sandwich, covered in cream cheese. Only a Cuban cookbook would have anything so enormously over the top (well, I’m sure there are other books out there with exaggerations such as this, but I wouldn’t be Cuban if I didn’t contribute to the exaggeration). I was floored when I read through the ingredients and preparations. There was only one day worthy of this...read more...Snapper Almondine | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Snapper Almondine
I know I’ve mentioned before that there are some recipes I just didn’t grow up with and some I’m not familiar with at all so that it’s hard for me to visualize the end product. This recipe happened to have been a little of both. It wasn’t until I actually sat down to eat it that I realized that it’s one of those fish variations that restaurants in the Keys offer. If you’ve been to Key...read more...Cheeseburgers and Hot Dogs with Burger Beast | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Cheeseburgers and Hot Dogs with Burger Beast
The time had come to let someone in that wasn’t family to partake in The Project. I had gone through fritas and hamburgers by the time I met Sef Gonzalez, the Burger Beast , so we settled on having him come over to partake in the last burger recipe in the book – Cheeseburgers. And, since he was coming over, I took advantage to make Perros Rellenos (stuffed hot dogs), as he also reviews hot dogs from time to time....read more...Posted on: Mar 20 2010 - 12:05:00 AMBistec en Cazuela and Cream of Carrot Soup | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Bistec en Cazuela and Cream of Carrot Soup
Recipe #53: Bistec Asado en Cazuela Bistec en cazuela is not one of those recipes that my family would make often. I know it’s one that many of you grew up on, but not in my house. And so, as with many of these recipes, I have no idea going into this, how it’s supposed to look. At least with stuff like tamales and arroz con pollo , you know exactly what the final product is, but with this? No clue....read more...Pescado en Salsa Verde (Fish in Green Sauce) | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Pescado en Salsa Verde (Fish in Green Sauce)
As some of you may recall, my husband went on his annual guys’ fishing trip at the end of the summer. Well, that was over four months ago, and there is still some fish in the freezer. This recipe was picked to help eliminate yet another bag of frozen fish filets – this time, 1 ½ pounds of triggerfish. For those of you wondering, like I did when I sat down to blog, triggerfish is ballesta in Spanish (thanks to...read more...Ham and Cheese Roll-ups | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Ham and Cheese Roll-ups
I feel a confession coming on…Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been 18 days since my last cooking session. I don’t know if it was the hangover from the holidays, or the madness of trying to get back into a routine, but I just could not get it together for the life of me to sit, plan and attack another recipe. Until I found this one.

A typical Saturday morning consists of my daughter calling me, from her room, at around 7 a.m. asking if it’s too early for her to be awake. My answer, every time, is a big, "Yes". She runs to my bed anyways and asks me for homemade pancakes. Not just any homemade pancakes, but Guy Fieri pancakes. You see, last year, we went to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Fun & Fit as a Family...read more...Pastel de Medianoche | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Pastel de Medianoche
Yes, as in a midnight Cuban sandwich. Yes, as in a midnight Cuban sandwich pie. ---End of blog post--- When I first read through all the recipes in the book, I read this and took a double take. You first build your own dough for the top and bottom crusts, from scratch, and then build a medianoche sangüiche (midnight sandwich) in between. It’s scary. It really is. And as you’re going through the process the...read more...Posted on: Feb 4 2010 - 12:00:00 AMBurger Beast visits La Cocina de Christina | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Burger Beast visits La Cocina de Christina
This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of welcoming Sef Gonzalez, aka Burger Beast, into my kitchen. I was a little nervous, I must admit, as the Burger Beast takes no prisoners when it comes to reviewing burgers and other food experiences. But, I was ready for the challenge. Cheeseburgers and Perros Rellenos are done, getting me over the 60 recipe mark (recipes 60 and 61, respectively). I’m sure you’ll...read more...Posted on: Feb 1 2010 - 03:10:00 PM
Tia Alicia is Cuban then Mexican | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Tia Alicia is Cuban then Mexican
My mother in law’s sister, Alicia, was born in Cuba, along with my mother in law, their two sisters and one brother. All in all, there were five of them. They all left Cuba and came to Miami, with the exception of Alicia. She left to Mexico. And that’s where my Mexican side of the family began. Although Alicia’s entire grown up life was made in Mexico, she still considers herself as Cuban...read more...Posted on: Jan 30 2010 - 09:10:00 AMSecret Ingredients: Sour Cream & Citrus | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Secret Ingredients: Sour Cream & Citrus
I had been hearing about Herald Top Chef for a couple of years now and since I had become a self-proclaimed chef in training and blogger for MomsMiami.com, I felt it was only proper that I join in on this year’s competition. Our Executive Editor, Anders Gyllenhaal picked the secret ingredients and they were – sour cream and citrus. Being the newbie, I assumed you had to use both ingredients (which I still think...read more...Posted on: Jan 18 2010 - 12:00:00 AMKFC, Abuela style | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom KFC, Abuela style
(photo courtesy of: RetroJason via Flickr) When I sat down to pick my next recipe, I came across this one and realized that it was none other than southern style fried chicken. Rich batter fried chicken. Nitza calls this Pollo a lo Miami , which is confusing because why would anyone think that batter-fried chicken is chicken Miami-style? Growing up, my husband and his cousins used to go to the beach every weekend with...read more...Posted on: Jan 10 2010 - 04:05:00 PMThanksgiving - Nitza style | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Thanksgiving - Nitza style
My husband and I have been hosting Thanksgiving since 2005. All of our holidays before then had my husband and I doing time between my family’s house and his family’s house. As the years passed, we started timing the gatherings so that we could be in all places in one day – quite exhausting, but we would have a chance to see everyone. Thanksgiving used to be brunch at my grandparents’ house, late lunch...read more...Congri – Round I | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Congri – Round I
When I decided I wanted to make a Cuban Turkey for Thanksgiving, I made sure Nitza had a recipe for it. I wasn’t going to try to do my first turkey without Nitza. She has a recipe for a congri-stuffed Turkey and, I figured it would be good to practice making congri first before feeding 20+ a first time turkey and first time congri. Good thing Nitza has two congri recipes – this one here and the one for the turkey. Not...read more...Posted on: Dec 30 2009 - 10:30:00 PMLobster Canapés | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Lobster Canapés
This is a really simple appetizer – nice for when you have a dish to take to someone’s house. In my case, I made this for our work Thanksgiving lunch and actually made it when I arrived at our hostess’ place. The ingredients are so non-perishable, you can really whip this up at any time, as you’re likely to have them in your pantry. Recipe #603: Canapes de Langosta List of ingredients:...read more...Moki’s Macarrones | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Moki’s Macarrones
In my conversations with people about The Project, this recipe comes up as a favorite of many. It’s our version of a lasagna, it seems, but no one ever compared it like that to me. So maybe the abuelas wouldn’t layer it like a lasagna but rather serve it all together and skip the baking part, but for presentation’s sake and for cheesiness’ sake, think lasagna and layer it up. Recipe #213: Macarrones Con...read more...Plain ol’ Mashed Potatoes | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Plain ol’ Mashed Potatoes
There’s something to say about a recipe in this book with only five ingredients. Either there’s a typo in the recipe, or I’ve just stumbled upon pure simplicity. Being that I try to find the positive in any situation, I went with the latter – and I was right. Recipe #243: Pure de Papas Coming off the prior recipe’s almost 30 minute success (Chicken with Onions and White Wine took less than an...read more...30-minute meals? | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom 30-minute meals?
Lately, my cooking sessions have been taking place on Monday nights. Partly because I tend to make every Monday the day to start fresh and get organized (yes, I go through this every Monday), and partly because I realize that another busy weekend zoomed by and I didn't attack a recipe from The Project. On this given Monday, I came across this recipe and thought it was the one that was going to be a quick night meal. Really. I...read more...Six Friends, Four Recipes | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Six Friends, Four Recipes
When I was little, I remember my weekends consisted of either sleepover parties at Abuela and Abuelo’s, with all the cousins, or, going to do visita (visit) with my parents to someone’s house. Either way, food was always involved. Meals ranged from Cuban sandwiches my grandfather would make, to full-fledged meals that I’d never enjoy because I was too busy running around with my eight-year...read more...Arroz con Carne de Puerco | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Arroz con Carne de Puerco
These recipes never cease to amaze me. Great great great food - - but with a great great great amount of time invested. Believe it or not, this one took over 6 hours to make, over the span of two days. Just when I thought prep work would save me - - along came this dish. Recipe #227: Arroz con Carne de Puerco I had never had this dish before and when I read through the recipe for the first time and realized I had to...read more...Salsa Blanca | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Salsa Blanca
Time for a new chapter – salsas . And no, it’s not salsa as in chips and salsa. It’s salsas as in sauces.

I’m on a roll – literally. I’m breezing through this sandwiches y bocaditos chapter. Partly because it’s been easy so far, and partly because I’m a Cuban bocaditos addict. I can admit it. Ain’t no shame. I can take down those mini-medianoches platters and bocaditos with any pastica in a kiddie birthday party in no time. I’m not the only one, I know you’re with me. I...read more...Cuban Pinwheels | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Cuban Pinwheels
The real name for this recipe is Bocaditos Enrollados which translates literally into: Rolled-up little sandwiches. So, Cuban Pinwheels it is. Recipe #601: Bocaditos Enrollados A recipe that calls for an adventure, such as going to Publix to ask people to do me special favors, makes the recipe so much more exciting. This one involved a special way to cut bread and a reference to brazo gitano (literal: gypsy’s...read more...Pumpkin soup and Picadillo too | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Pumpkin soup and Picadillo too
Getting to picadillo was a treat. My husband and I usually make some sort of ground turkey rendition that sometimes leans towards picadillo and other times leans towards chili without beans when we add cumin. But this was the time to really make picadillo , the Cuban way, and it was surprising to learn all the ingredients that went into it – not just one type of ground meat. Since I had decided to do this on a...read more...Posted on: Oct 10 2009 - 11:50:00 AMBocaditos de Bonito? | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Bocaditos de Bonito?
As I came to the next recipe in the Sandwiches y Bocaditos chapter, I became quite confused. This recipe, Bocaditos de Bonito , didn’t have bonito (good quality tuna) in it and instead, it had lots of eggs as one of the ingredients. There she goes again. Messing with the ol’ rookie chef. Why does Nitza have to be so crazy? We had a dinner party to go to and I had volunteered to take an appetizer. For some reason,...read more...Bistec a la Plancha | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Bistec a la Plancha
The first recipe in the 50-recipe beef chapter is good ol' Bistec a la Plancha , otherwise known as Cuban steak. At least I think that's what it is. Recipe #50: Bistec a la Plancha Once I sat down to prepare for this recipe (remember, no on the fly cooking with Nitza as she's always throwing curve balls at the end of her recipes), I read through the ingredients and made my grocery list. Easy enough - one pound...read more...Only 600 recipes to go | Moms Miami //MomsMiami.com Member: gpmom Only 600 recipes to go
As I neared the 29th recipe in The Project, a wave of...well, a wave of not-quite satisfaction came over me. I have six hundred recipes to go? I've been cooking for two months now and I haven't made a dent in this process? I sure have made a dent on the scale, which has led me to quickly join Weight Watchers in full force again.

My Cuban Cousin is pregnant. Well, she’s been pregnant for a while and is actually due in less than two weeks. So, it’s not surprising to some when they hear that I had to make this recipe for her before the baby comes. I mean I HAD TO make this recipe – no one wants an orzuelo (a sty) from a pregnant lady.

Last week, we had the pleasure of spending some time with family in Mexico City. I thought it would be a nice break from the fast pace we had been running now that school was back in session. The pace didn’t change, however, and the days flew by – dinner, dancing, First Communions and family reunions. All set to the tone of food, drinks and more food. When we returned to Miami on Labor Day, I was exhausted. Luckily, I...read more...

In my family, there’s a super tamales queen named Lidia. She’s been making great tamales since forever. So, since she’s had all that time to perfect them, I knew that I couldn’t tell her when I would make my first attempt at tamales. Long before The Project, I had thought of making tamales one day. I can’t remember the exact date, but it was just a few months ago when Lidia gave me two tamales she...read more...

Last weekend, my husband went on his annual guy fishing trip. Usually, it’s his time away to recharge and refresh and my time to do the same (except that I stay with the kids, so…). But this time, I had a few requests to make for The Project. I mean, if he’s out there, big game fishing in the Marquesas, there’s nothing wrong with a few requests: fish heads, fish fillets and whole fish. Hey,...read more...

Last week, while on staycation, I was able to make breakfast (a good, homemade breakfast) a total of three times. Not a huge amount, I know, but it’s because after the first day and the first recipe that had us eating brunch instead of breakfast, I realized that no matter what time of day it was, Cuban cooking was a production. The next two recipes would never get us to eat at brunch time – we’re only talking...read more...
