A bilingual blog for a binational family.
Two weeks ago the weekend started off with my good friend Ellen’s bachelorette party. For the party prep, I picked up a huge order of rice, beans, meat and tortillas from La Hacienda, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town. We decided that the best choice for drink to go with the food would […]
Yesterday I went to Ugly Mugs, a little coffee shop on Eastland in East Nashville, with Samantha so we could get some work done on a project we’re sharing. I ordered a brown sugar and honey latte (delicious) and Sam got the best smoothie I had ever tasted. It’s called a Curious George: bananas, PB and honey. […]
Since we showed some pictures of some of our meals, we wanted to also share our ways of cooking some foods. We don’t have time (and most of the time the energy) to make elaborate meals so in our kitchen the motto is: The simpler the better! Ya que les mostramos algunas fotos de algunas […]
Our diet has changed drastically since February 13 when we decided to follow the P90X nutrition plan in addition to doing the workouts. It’s hard to believe that we were posting about eating nachos and pigs in a blanket only a few weeks prior to making changes. For me, the hardest part of the program […]
When it comes to certain foods, I am very particular about the way they are prepared. One of these foods is the avocado. I love avocados, I could eat them every day (which I do) and if I were ever in a situation where I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest […]
Here are some quick tips and ideas about the basic parts of our current diet. In the future we will be sharing some simple recipes (yes, SIMPLE! we are not fancy cooks and normally don’t have the time to cook super produced meals) Aqui van algunos consejos e ideas se las partes basicas de nuestra […]
Javi and I just wrapped up our first successful Super Bowl gathering at the Los Rodriguez mansion! We didn’t have a ton of people over, but we definitely had enough food for 50 and we had a fabulous time with the friends who came! We basically had a Latino food buffet going on: I made […]
Since the weather has been acting up (it is amazingly warm in January), I was afraid that “soup weather” would go away before I could try out a few more recipes! I have been craving “caldillo de marisco” for a long long time (caldillo is a seafood soup very popular in Chile) so I thought […]
Uggggggh I’m sick. It started coming on on Monday night, by Tuesday I was definitely under the weather but I thought it was a little cold so I wasn’t too worried about it. On Wednesday morning I woke up and my throat felt like it was on fire…I had to brace myself every time I […]
Paula spoils us when she visits us in Nashville. Yesterday she made us a typical Chilean dish called pastel de choclo – I think the closest translation would be corn casserole. It’s typical to Chile the way grits are typical in the U.S. south – a simple but delicious corn staple. The ingredients (for 10 […]
