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:

In My Kitchen - July 2020


It's time for another round of that very cool monthly happening  called "In My Kitchen!" So here we go....
This Month in my Kitchen...

New cookbook alert - CHamoru Cuisine: A Mariånas Cultural Legacy! Found this great unique cookbook on Kickstarter and am so excited to dive into the cultural and culinary traditions of the Mariånas. You can order a copy here: www.gerardaflaguecollection.com


The Kitchen Garden is growing and we've been enjoying blackberries, string beans, carrots, greens (kale, chard, malabar spinach). Peaches are starting to fill out on the tree, while the okra, zucchini and tomatoes are struggling with oppressive heat and the cooler humid nights.



 Started drying herbs for storage, and began with a large bunch of peppermint for tea.


Decided to learn a new craft, and gave a try to basketry! I had so much fun, I'll be making another soon.

We had an abundance of Blackberries so I decided to try making Blackberry Mead.



We had a small July 4th BBQ with just immediate family. We were all really feeling the heat so cooking outdoors with dinner inside was the plan. Dinner was BBQ jerk chicken with marinade and poussin from the farmer's market, and veggies.

My brother started taking a Turkish Language course, so we've been experimenting in the kitchen with Turkish cuisine. Recipes to follow soon. 



Thanks Sherry from Sherry's Pickings for hosting! Please make sure you stop in and take a glance at everyone else's kitchens! IMK - July 2020

So tell me...What's happening in your kitchen this month?



If you're curious here's a link to what we were up to the last time I did In My Kitchen: July 2014, July 2015
