Ecuadorian Chicken – Seco de pollo https://www.laylita.com/recipes/seco-de-pollo-ecuatoriano/. This was a very tasty dish. We had lots of chicken in the house so I was trying to find something to make to go with it, then stumbled onto Seco de Pollo which seems to be an ecuadorian staple, like meatloaf in the states…but tastier. It is made […]
Mexico! Some not so typical Mexican dishes (at least on the East Coast). Calabacitas is a mix of zucchini, corn, tomatoes onion and garlic…and hot pepper…it was delicious. In fact this meal made our top 10. According to cousins who live on the West Coast and New Mexico, this is super popular there and found […]

We all LOVED it. In fact, Scott, who is not […]
We had an internet outage for a day so I am behind on my culinary travel posts. As we are still in the C’s and I had some defrosted ground turkey, CHILE was the next stop on our cullinary tour du monde. I was actually very excited because I had a recipe from years ago […]
Today’s culinary destination was Costa Rica. Tilapia on a bed of rice, beans, oranges and tomatoes. Funny because the fish itself was very much like how I generally make fish when I cook on my own and without recipes…I tend to marinate chicken or fish in garlic or onions, lemon or lime juice and sometimes […]
Our Colombian adventure was not only fabulous (all of us enjoyed it) but it was so good that it made it to our top 10! We had not planned to do Colombia until a bit later, but I had some defrosted chicken in the fridge so I looked up Colombian chicken recipes and stumbled upon […]
