No save como me da gusto que hay algien como usted en este
pais tan lleno de nueva technologia, porque se an olvidado de
lo que es las raises de cada familia y tradiciones que uno cresio
y me da mucho gusto que yo alla encontrado esta pagina en busca de recetas para selebrar la navidad con mi familia.
Cada ano nos turnamos con fiesta este ano me toca la navidad
yo nunca e tenido la oportunidad de aser la navidad en mi casa,
Y anda enbusca de recetas porque quiero que sea algo espesial
yo me recuerdo que mi abuelita en mexico asia unas cenas en noche buena muy deliciosas y ando en busca de eso.
por ahorita no e encontrado lo que quiero pero si me da gusto de aver encontrado su historia.

This is so precious. I thank you for doing this. I never had the privilege of meeting either of my grandmothers, so I might in some ways adopt your grandmother’s traditions for myself.

i stumbled across your site well looking for a reciepe to caldo de pollo reading your bolg brought back alot of my child hood memories. i to was born and raised in east los angeles by indiana and whittier blvd. and my nana was exactly as yours. but at age seven my mom moved us away from the love of my nana and i was unable to learn all that she had started to teach me and my mom like your children was never intrested. So now at 27 ive grown tired of the fast food and tv dinners and want to learn to cook like my nana used to so my four children can carry, on my son who is 10 loves to be in the kitchen and is constantly begging me to make him real food . Today is my first attempt with the caldo de pollo wish me luck and thank you.

I went to the Homestead Mexican marquet (30mi. south of Miami, where mexicans work the fields), I stumbled into quelites. My memory of quelites was that a humbled person used to bring those to my mom, she fed them to us, and we liked them. I did not know how to cook them, and your site provided me with not only how to cook and serve them but the nutritional value and story of the quelites. I was very happy to read your family history and made me think that time goes by quick, and I most start writing my moms recipies. Thank you!

What a beautiful gift to your grandchildren! I would be eternally grateful to my grandma if she did this for me! I’m in the process of trying to learn all of my grandmother’s recipes…from the tortillas to the atole she would also make in the mornings when I’d spend the previous night at her house .

The way you described everything really warms all the senses! What wonderful memories, you’ve certainly captured the love!

I stumbled upon your blog via Teresa’s and I’m really glad I did. You two have some fantastic recipes.

My grandmother didn’t measure either, and though I did try to help out in the kitchen as a little girl, I don’t remember everything…so now I have to resort to calling her, because she lives across the country! Hopefully I can learn a thing or two from you both, though, to fill in the gaps. It’s so important to me to hold on to my culture with food because, sadly, I’ve forgotten so much of the language. My husband and I plan to practice with each other, though .

Thanks again for sharing this, it’s very touching .

Wow those memories ring true for me as well. I had many days in the kitchen with my Grandma Maria. I learned to make tortillas at a very young age and all the mexican foods to go with those tortillas. I still do the old traditions even up to cleaning my own nopalitos. I have them in my back yard. Oh the life from before is unforgetable and oh so nostalgic. I will definitely share your blog with others.

What a fantastic experience. Thank you for sharing this. I have lamented often about being raised without the food or language of my ancestors (German). This story made me realize how important passing on a family tradition is and how much my own son will benefit from my love of cooking.
Thank you.

I stumbled on your blog today. What a wonderful gift. Your story about your abuelita rings familiar to me. I grew up in Houston, though. I loved my Mama Cuca so much.
