I am what you call an "americana mala clase" LOL I'm very mixed...or I could say mixed up! My father is Greek, my mother is Dominican and Puerto Rican...I was raised in the Dominican republic till I was 15 and then came back to the states where I was born... I missed my abuelita's cooking...so I began calling her in DR and asking her how she did certain dishes...I furiously wrote them down in a note book, but during my relocation to Arizona I lost it...and now my abuelita is too old and has alzheimers so I've joined your site to gather some of my very missed recipes...So in my heart I will always be a Dominican.
