Colombian Breakfast

One of the best things about being Colombian is the delectable food. Traditional breakfast is my favorite and a staple in my childhood. I didn't live in Jackson Heights growing up, but I would literally visit every weekend. One of the spots I use to frequent was Native's on Northern Blvd. It closed down, changed management and reopened as Boulevard. The food is just about the same as a remember it.
 Arepa with butter and queso fresco.

Calientado: rice and beans, steak, chorizo, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes and green onions

Colombian Christmas

Yesterday my abuelita spent most of the morning preparing the tamales we ate on Christmas Eve.





The tamales have chicken, beef, pork, yellow corn meal masa, peas, carrots, potato, and guiso!






They are cooked slowly in boiling water and served with rice, maduros, and tostones. 


Feliz Navidad!
