Mama's Kitchen is a Latin Post video series featuring celebrities, chefs, and our readers as they reminisce about the special connection between food, family, and childhood.
Each holiday demands a production, particularly those that come toward the end of the year. Between the gifting, the shopping, the cleaning, the cooking, the hosting, the traveling and the general rearrangement of life simply for a 24-hour stint of high energy food production and consumption, Thanksgiving, and similar holidays, leave home entertainers mercilessly tired.
Barilla, the Italian and European food company that produces a variety of delicious pasta and sauces, has chosen to celebrate the 2014 holiday season with Latin-inspired pasta recipes. The longstanding company even solicited the assistance of three top influential Hispanic bloggers, based in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, to help give pasta recipes an interesting and delicious Latin twist.
The colorful plates of food laid before us each Thanksgiving/holiday season are enticing. Loaded with cheese, fat and grease: the mac and cheese, pernil, mashed potatoes, greens, seasoned rice, turkey and much more are absolutely delicious. But, unsurprisingly, that food can be unhealthy and it can easily undermine any healthy strides we'd made within recent weeks.
Si, your abuela knows it best... she knows how to stretch a dollar and turn a meal that's seemingly meant for two into a small feast fit to feed you, your siblings, your aunts, your parents and a few of the primos. Latin Post.com brings you the best and most affordable recipes for Latino dishes to add some spice to your Thanksgiving Day meal.
Double-Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are just the mere tip of the iceberg. From starters, to main dishes, to side dishes, to desserts, pumpkin can be introduced all over the plate. And the autumn-enhanced dishes will entice anyone who loves the creamy and earthy quality of the squash plant.
The holidays are a perfect time of year for vegetarians & vegans (such as Your Humble Author) to suffer endless bouts of aggravation as you explain, yet again, why you would not like any turkey (or ham), thank you very much.
