Puerto Rican Sancocho
Sancocho is Puerto Rican comfort food! This is my mom's recipe that she serves with bread to soak up the delicious flavor. The mix of vegetables and herbs in this stew was influenced by Spanish Canary Island ancestors of some Puerto Rican families, then adjusted to the vegetables available in Puerto Rico, such as corn, pumpkin, and plantains.
Very Chocolate Ice Cream
This homemade chocolate ice cream is made with two types of chocolate blended into a rich custard base. It's creamy, decadent, and just as good as anything you'd buy at the store.
Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler
This mixed berry cobbler works well with any juicy summer fruit: peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Short of serving store-bought ice cream, you won't find a simpler, more delicious dessert than this fruit cobbler. And if you use frozen berries, this dessert can be assembled in less than 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
