Hispanic Heritage Month Recipes

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Each year, from September 15 to October 15 Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by sharing the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. 2021 was especially significant because it was the 200th anniversary of Costa Rican Independence from Spain. Here are a few traditional & unique Latin American recipes you may want to add to your menu:

Bunker Hill Monument, Boston, Massachusetts

I’m excited to join up again this month with fellow blogger Fiona Ryan's A-Z Guidebook Travel Linkup over at Tiffin Sized Bites. This travel tale link-up goes from July 15th - July 22th, this time travels with the letter "B".

"B" is for the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston, Massachusetts. The 221-foot (67 m) granite obelisk was erected to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill. This was the first major conflict between British and Patriot forces in the American Revolutionary War, fought there June 17, 1775. In reality, the monument is actually not on Bunker Hill, but instead on Breed's Hill, where most of the fighting actually took place. In front of the obelisk is a statue of Colonel William Prescott, who according to legend coined the famous phrase, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes."

    You know, I was in Boston for 5 days and didn't visit this (that I can recall). To be fair, it rained all week so outdoor pursuits we curtailed to a great extent. Thanks for joining in again Emily. See you back for 'C'!

      If you ever get a chance it's a great vantage point to see the Suspension Bridge, and Old Iron Sides. Thanks for hosting, looking forward to next month! :)

    How interesting! I have of course heard the famous quote but had no idea about the battle. Would love to visit Boston one day!
