Family is very important to us, and it’s been the center of my life since I was a little girl. I was used to having great grandparents living in the same home, going on vacations to visit extended family in familiar places instead of sight seeing in new places, and having huge holiday parties with dozens of cousins and lots of food. Growing up with a lot of people around was the norm, and I still find I love big get-togethers and having lots of friends and family over often… practically every single weekend!
My family is multicultural, and a big part of our background is Dominican. I love to cook recipes that celebrate our heritage, and luckily I have a mother-in-law who is an amazing cook and happy to teach me her favorite recipes (she is also part Spanish and has accumulated a vast repertoire of Hispanic recipes that she stores in her mind, shared only when we cook by her side). My loud, beautiful family loves to sing and laugh and have fun, and they sure do love good food as well, so it’s important to make lots of favorites for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to her, my mom, and grandma, I can do this for those I love.
National Hispanic Heritage month is September 15 – October 15, and during this time my kitchen focus will be on making those delicious Latin-inspired meals our family loves best, including a great Chicken Posole filled with hominy, pinto beans, chicken, and spices. It is not only utterly delicious, but also a great choice for the beginning of fall because it’s amazing served hot on cool days. My mother-in-law makes it the best, and I’m so grateful she shared her recipe with me when I first got married ♥︎ She wanted to make sure her son ate it the right way, hearty and flavorful, and today I’m sharing her recipe with you.
