Hey everyone! It's been forever, hasn't it? Since my last post, Halloween has blown through, Thanksgiving settled down for a little, then was driven out of town by the craziness of Black Friday. It is now December, which means the holidays are here, the weather has become a little colder, Christmas songs are on the radio, houses are being decorated, and microwaves, stoves, and ovens are all being used for the greater good of cooking and baking holiday goodies. Throughout the world, at least in most places, December reunites families and with that comes many dinners, family events, and huge gatherings. For small families, December means making food together and sharing a lot more time as a family. That's my family's case. We're small, and basically it's just my mom, my dad, and me, as well as our pets: horses, cats, dogs, and chickens. I'm usually the one that bakes everything, while my mom is the one that cooks. I've been baking for a while now, and kind of decided to start practicing my cooking skills. I personally don't own any actual "cook"books, but my mom does. Hers though are all in Spanish. So, what popped into my head? Findes Sabrosos did. Since my family's Colombian, I decided to bring some of my heritage onto the site. This is going to be done through what's literally translated as "Tasty Weekends." What am I going to do for these weekends? My mom has this book called Medellín Gourmet which revolves around giving a Colombian take on recipes from all around. I'll be testing out the recipes and posting them up here, in both English and Spanish. The only catch is that there won't be any pictures, since by the time I'd be making these and serving them, it would be night time so the lighting would suck or we'd probably eat it all before having a chance to even think of taking a picture. I hope it doesn't bother anyone and that you all enjoy being able to try out all these recipes.
I'll be posting up 2 recipes a week: one for Saturday and one for Sunday.
What's on the menu for this week?
12/06: Zucchini y Pescado a la Italiana
12/07: Crema de Espinaca
Que disfruten!
