Comfort Food

When I decided to cook dinner last night I was really hungry and in a hurry so I thought to myself, "Well, I guess I can always start doing recipes for the blog tomorrow". I put some rice on, hopped in the shower, came back down to the kitchen and finished cooking. I literally threw food into a pan, how great can this be? I took a QC (quality control - shout out to Anne Burrell) bite just to make sure I could serve it to my husband and son and actually expect them to eat it. Dang! Sprinkle on some Sazón Goya with Azafrán and WOW, it just keeps getting better! This is one worthy of putting in your recipe book, but it's so simple and easy you won't ever need to look it up.

Now on to the real reason you're here: my witty personality the food! Some might think this odd but my comfort food is almost always Cuban or some other Hispanic origin. Do I have an abuelita who taught me all her family secrets? Nope. Did my mom "cook around the world", exploring a variety of different cultures through food? Definitely not. I was raised on unseasoned baked chicken, white rice, and a frozen veggie of some kind. Don't get me wrong, my mom definitely has some great recipes that I want to share with you, and baked chicken can be delicious when spiced up a little bit. It's a great standby, but there's so much more out there than baked chicken Wednesday and taco Tuesday!
