Breadfruit in Seasoned Coconut Sauce (Costa Rican Caribbean Styl

Nov 23, 2012 2:30:06 PM

Authentic family recipe from Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. We met our new friend Eliza on our trip to Punta Uva last week. She and her family offered to show us how to make breadfruit Caribbean style. This dish is AMAZING! One of my new favorite meals. This was my first time having breadfruit, and I think I liked it even better than chicken. More tender than chicken, more moist and less starchy than a potato. Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFzbhKyABDU&feature=plcp

Served with soft corn tortillas, this traditional Costa Rican dish works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Salsa Lizano is a Costa Rican condiment that’s similar to Worcestershire sauce but thicker and sweeter.

Living in the tropics has taught me that even the good ole' faithful recipes get tweaked now and then! Like the traditional Pineapple Upside Down Cake, this one is yummy in a totally different way! Be sure your starfruits are very ripe.

More Than a Strawberry Smoothie

Jun 10, 2012 8:24:57 PM

First I want to tell a little story, a few weeks ago my husband bought a Vitamix and for those who know this brand will know that this is the most popular blender at the moment, does much more than blending, is almost magical says my daughter. Well, my youngest daughter was so excited, she loves being in the kitchen with me, we were trying to see what kind of recipe we made first, my precious baby said she wanted a milkshake, I saw her very surprised because I did not know where she had seen that you could make smoothies and I saw that she had the recipe book in hand. We started to make the smoothie and everyone loved it, my Vitamix has officially become the tool of the smoothies. I made this smoothie the day that my daughter did not want anything to eat, she has only 3 years so sometimes it is difficult for her to eat. I try to use fruit that she likes and I add a couple of secret ingredients that nobody would notice. Some times we have to disguise some meals for the children. This is

Budin - Costa Rican Baked Pudding

Nov 7, 2011 9:15:28 PM

This delicious dessert is a cross between a custard and a bread pudding. In fact, it starts its life as a stale french roll or baguette. This recipe is from a Costa Rican foodie website: recetasdecostarica.com but obviously, the recipes are all in Spanish! Be sure the bread is old and dry. You can personalize this recipe in so many tasty ways... try adding any of the following: 1/2 cup raisins, candied fruit or shredded coconut, 1 tsp orange zest, almond extract instead of vanilla, etc. The finised product is wonderful with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of home-made fruit reduction (think raspberry!). Enjoy...

Arrayan, also called satre guavas are small, tart guavas with a seed in the middle. I have had a hard time finding recipes with them so I created this, and it turned out great.

Based on a recipe from the box my Tommy Bahama Ultra Premium Rum came in. It reminds us that the Mai Tai was invented in 1944! And here I thought it was invented while I was in college! :)
