It's so interesting to see everyone's background/stories!

I'm 1/2 Dominican from my mom's side. Like me, my mom was born in NY and so you can imagine how Americanized we've become. Well, my mom has passed away and so has her mom... I'm super sentimental and love this website of dominican food, culture, etc :-)

My hubby was born and raised In San Carlos Dominican Republic and I am Philly Rican (a Puerto Rican raised in Philadelphia). Our children are multicultural Latinos. I want them to be educated on every aspect of their heritage. I love my family's Dominican, Puerto Rican and American roots.

So, what's your reason for being here?

I'm half Dominican and half Puerto Rican, raised in Washington Heights, so I relate more to the Dominican side in me. My grandmother, aunt, and mom have all passed away and I miss their cooking terribly. I am living in Boca where I am far from my family and anything Dominican (almost everything latino is either Mexican or Cuban around here). This website takes me back to my childhood, and keeps me close to those I love and have lost. I can even now make yaniqueques (my mom always just said add this then that, and it never came out right for me). I love this site, thank you for being such a wonderful community. This New Year's Eve, I am making pernil, ensalada russo, enpanadas, and quipes. I am feeling quite ambitious with this website!
