Autumn is definitely my favorite season. I love the beautiful colors of the changing leaves and that I can wear the clothes I love… boots, jeans and light jackets. I also love the fall because when the weather starts getting cold, I like to cook all of my favorite Colombian comfort food recipes.
This stuffed beef is a popular recipe in my family. My grandmother used to make it a least once a week and all her kids follow the tradition, adding their own touch. Mamita would stuff the beef with pork, peas, carrots and potatoes, and cook it in the pressure cooker for 45 minutes. It was absolutely delicious! One of my uncles, on the other hand, uses cooked egg, pork belly, peas and carrots in his stuffing. I also love his variation and he uses the pressure cooker too. I made my recipe similar to my mom’s, but I used a slow cooker, not a pressure cooker. Enjoy it! Read more…

I had a great time with my sister the past couple of weeks. She left yesterday and now I am getting back to my normal routine. She is a great sister and friend to me. I will miss her and look forward to seeing her again soon.
So, I bought some and made the soup.

I was so happy when I heard her say, “Yes, they are the same”. Well, actually she said “Si, son los mismos”. Anyway, I made the soup the same way my mom used to make it and it was fantastic! 
The other day I used some egg yolks in a recipe. Normally, when I make a dish using just the yolks, I am at a loss for what to do with the whites, so I waste them. This time, however, I decided to make meringue cookies, one of my favorite cookies as a child. They were simple to make and delicious. 
On those days when I feel homesick, it doesn’t mean I don’t like living in the United States and being an American citizen, but just that I miss my family and friends a lot. Those are the days that I will go to the closest Latin market and crazy or not, I go to the Colombian food aisle and feel like I am home. Just the other day I was walking in the supermarket looking for some 
This is a fantastic brunch recipe as it is easy to make and delicious. You can even play with the dish and add your favorite vegetables. I happen to love mushrooms and asparagus and used Portobello’s but you can use any kind of mushrooms that you like. Enjoy!
