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 - April 2015


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...


Spring Crocus

 March was in like a lion, and out like a lion! April showers are definitely in the works and soon Spring Flowers! :)


The Kitchen Garden is planned, now just waiting for a few warmer days to begin working outside.

 Lovely little Quail Eggs found at the Market. I decided this year to dye them instead of chicken eggs. It's a lot easier to eat 12 quail eggs in a few days than 12 chicken eggs. :)

I used some of the eggs to make Baked Scotch Eggs.

A cute little birdie creamer.

Our homemade beer is ready! Citrus Summer Wheat ~5% ABV
I plan on experimenting with the trub for bread.

Some fresh made Beer Mustard.

A lovely little tea scoop with springtime strawberry tea.

Homemade Queso Blanco, yum!

These very cool 3D cookie cutters I found on clearance!

A little Crocheted Easter gift for Mom's new 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?

    Your dyed quail eggs look amazing! And they look delicious as scotch eggs :) You make your own beer & cheese, which both look pretty good - I love both beer & cheese. Happy cooking & I'll see you next month for IMK x

    Those dyed quail eggs are the cutest thing I've seen all week! They're super adorable! I'm impressed with all the planning that goes into your garden - we just go outside and throw seeds in most of the time! :) Very cute cookie cutters too! x

      Hi Celia! Thanks for stopping by, yes a lot of planning goes into the garden because we use it almost exclusively during the summer months for our veggies! :)

    What a good idea to use quail eggs for coloring and Scotch eggs! The regular ones are so large. How long did you boil the quail eggs? It's always been something I wondered about.

    Love your little chick jug, very cute. I'm glad that spring has finally come to the East coast. You've had a difficult winter.

      Thanks Liz! I boiled the quail eggs for about 2-3 minutes.
      We have had a hard winter, and are rejoicing for warmer weather and sunshine! :)

    I don't know how I missed this post Emily, as you know _ I LOVE having a nosey around in your kitchen. I have never eaten quail eggs, but they do look so cute dyed and very effective. Your milk creamer jug is so adorable. Looking forward to seeing you use the 3d Spec cookie cutter.
