love it!! haha – i always “asian-fy” recipes

;-D

come over on Twitter – I know you’ll have fun chatting with the bunch of us (www.twitter.com/steamykitchen)
and look at who I’m following – we’ve got a great community built up.

This looks wonderful! I like the latin additions giving this dish a little twist! Love it.

Sorry you miss your friends, that’s hard.

I just started reading your blog recently, but I like it so far! Keep posting, you’re great!

Yum! This sounds amazing. I’m so glad I found your blog (or you found mine, rather), because I’m really interested in latin cooking. Great site!

hey bren… sometimes it is difficult to keep up the motivation and desire to write (for free!). you gotta feel inspired and when you don’t, it makes it hard! is there any dish from your culture that you’ve never made? Something that is a family member’s fave or maybe something you ate out and loved? maybe something that most people unaware of Latin food would maybe be grossed out by but you know if they gave it a try, they’d love it?

good luck… you’ll get inspired again. sometimes you just need your juices revved up – sleep and fun/family will help.

I’m glad you dropped by. Great recipe. Looks yummy. I’m with you for the dishes, I cook, someone else had to clean.

Chica! I agree with Steamy. You need to jump onto Twitter!!! It needs a bit more spicin’ up

This recipe looks amazing! And I’m sorry you are having a tough time in ATL, but you will break out of the funk. Plus – who knows, perhaps a trip to Philly might be in your future?

That chicken looks delicious. As for possible future ideas, I’m all for desserts. Something latin-y, of course.

Also, I think its good you want to write more frequently again, but don’t force yourself. I think its essential that your food blog stay fun and if it becomes a chore, you’ll come to dislike doing it. I think the schedule just sort of happens out of that. *shrugs*

Why dont you cook some Kallaloo or something from Trinidad/Tobago. Keep it up. I find when I’m down my creativity is at my highest. Dont let the small stuff get in your way.

Go Bren!

Keep at it, I know sometimes things get in the way of creativity – don’t push yourself too hard, the inspiration will come when it is ready!

Welcome to The Foodie Blogroll! I am sure by perusing the sites there, you will find some inspiration!

Yes I know what I want you to cook.

1/ a chic version of Paella
2/ a tres leches cake (I never made one, I’m intrigued)
3/ anything with guava or passionfruit
4/ and it’s hot in NY so I would LOVE a nice cocktail with a Latin twist

Should I keep going? Haha

Don’t worry, inspiration comes and goes. It’s usually there when you don’t look for it. Can’t wait to watch your episode with Emeril. That’s awesome!

Looks amazing as usual! I hear you about cooking for one. But you get used to it. I have. Even now that I am married. I tend to enjoy cooking more when my husband isn’t around as he is such a picky eater and doesn’t like anything that it is no fun to cook for him.

all those ingredients sound wonderful. i have some cocoa sticks. made mole poblano with them. any other ideas?

the chicken dish is beautiful – and i just caught up on your past posts.

just keep doing what you’re doing with an open heart and it will all fall into place, you’ll see!

and maybe you could ask your friends to give you a hand? i do… next time just say it’s part of the deal. make it light and funny and hold them to it.

That chicken sounds really tasty!

This looks excellent.

Just saw this I like the whole “Chino Cubano” feel to it, my grandmother is like that to, she braises meats in soy sauce, wine, and water mixtures with Cuban spices and sofrito.

Here is one of her “estilo Chino Cubano” recipes:
