Tropical Quinoa Salad
I'm finding endless ways to use quinoa, and this is one of my favorite ways. This colorful salad is packed with delicious flavors and nutrients, especially protein. Quick, easy and cheap - do it!

Calabaza Bread
I love canned pumpkin. I really have no problem with it -- it tastes like the holidays. But there was something quite lovely and organic about making my own calabaza puree and using it to bake a delicious bread. I'll call it pumpkin perfection.

Couscous con Pollo
Here is a cool twist on the Latin classic, Arroz con Pollo. This dish tastes just as rich and delicious as the original, but it comes together a bit faster. It's also a bit healthier. 

Blue Corn Tortilla Chicken Soup
What I really want to call this is "Everything but the Kitchen Sink Soup," but it turned into something a little nicer sounding in the process. I've been making this soup for years, always using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This time, it turned out tasty enough to deserve a spot in my recipe index. 

Skinny Masitas de Puerco
This is one of my favorite things to order at a Cuban restaurant, but let’s face it... fatty pork chunks that are deep fried are not good news! So I made them healthy, still full of flavor, and of course, easy!
