Besides Designing!!!

Most of you may not know that I am a Cuban American with a splash of Italian, hence the fact that a fun activity for me and my boyfriend is cooking.  We like to spend a few hours every week preparing an authentic Cuban meal (sometimes other types as well), it is a fun activity that we love to do together. 

It's healthy to do things with your partner and we love doing this together (besides he is my grocery shopping companion). 

Here's some photos of our adventure making Ham Croquetas and Chicken Croquetas!! They are so YUMMY!!

These Croquetas came out so delicious!!! We took some to my mothers house and well we ate all the rest!!

Those look yumm! Recipe request! =) An entrepreneur and a cook (and who knows what other talents there are!). That's quite a power punch combination!

Hey Sunny thanks!!
I will to the best of my abilities translate the receipe and send it to your email (its in spanish). You may have a hard time finding certain things in California to make it, here in Miami we are 90% Cubans so they have alot of cuban style condaments in the grocery stores! I will send it to you regardless!
