Hispanic Heritage Month Recipes

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Each year, from September 15 to October 15 Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by sharing the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. 2021 was especially significant because it was the 200th anniversary of Costa Rican Independence from Spain. Here are a few traditional & unique Latin American recipes you may want to add to your menu:

In My Kitchen - November 2014


It's time for another round of the very cool monthly happening called "In My Kitchen" run by Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial.

So here we go....

This Month in my Kitchen...



October was a great month...in a word Halloween!


We had our final major harvest for the year almost 10 lbs of Sweet Potatoes! Not bad for 4 plants for $1! 


It's all about the pumpkins this post!

We carved a scene from "The Walking Dead" for our porch pumpkins...

Scooped out the insides and made Buckwheat Pumpkin Pancakes...

Dried the Seeds for Snacks


and Pumpkin Seed Brittle Yum!

This year as Halloween Treats, family and friends received:
Conjure Cookies

Ginger-dead-men Skeleton Cookies

And of course in keeping with the "Walking Dead" theme, Zombie Cookies.


This month also happens to be our 2nd Wedding Anniversary, time flies when you're having fun! 

While October was great, November is going to be an adventurous month. We will be in India  for 3 weeks for our Hindu Wedding! I'm hoping to post from Amma's kitchen! :)


Please make sure you stop in and take a glance at everyone else's kitchens!

So tell me...What's happening in your kitchen this month?

    I love the look of that brittle. Halloween did not feature in my kitchen this year, I was just so disorganised, but am loving all your cookies esp the Zombie ones. Happy Anniversary, wish you well for your Hindu Wedding Ceremony and look forward to reading more in the near future.

    Hi Emily, what a great IMK! I'm not one for Halloween but your cookies could convince me.
    I love the idea of the dried pumpkin seeds and your carvings are works of art!
    cheers
