Mom and I in the Kitchen

When ever my mom comes to visit the tradition is we sit and make a hispanic sauce we use on all the different dishes we make, its called sofrito.  We add this to meat, beans, and anything you like.  It is time consuming but the out come is awesome. It will keep in the freezer and you use it as you need it. 

The smell of peppers,  cilantro, garlic, and onions fill the house as the kids come up to see what mom and Abuela are doing.


After all the hard work dad comes home eats the great food (stew meat over rice and stir fried cabbage w/green beans). YUM!!  Then off to the park w/dad to play on the monkey bars

and lets not forget the swings.  What a way to end a great day w/family:)

Well tomorrow is Olivia's birthday and before we put her to bed she informs us that if we haven't warped her gifts that we should do it tonight. Then she asked  "or did you get my gift already?"  Kids are so funny sometimes.  I think its great that is all she is worried about is if we have gifts for her.  Too sweet:)
