Italian Grandmas Try Olive Garden For The First Time

Sofrito Lovers,

You are in store for a treat because the video posted below will have you in stitches! The good folks at BuzzfeedYellow decided to feed Italian mothers/grandmothers Olive Garden, which is shitty chain Italian food, and recorded their reactions.

Some of the mothers/grandmothers are from Italy and the others are Italian-American, so they cover the gamut of opinions on Italian food.  My favorite is the hilarious sassy Brooklyn sounding Italian-American mother who cussed a blue streak.  You need to watch these amazing mom/grandmoms do their thing.

Watch, laugh, and ¡Buen Provecho!

Sofrito Lovers,

I found the video posted below, from Delish.com, to be incredibly interesting! I had no idea how simple and straight forward American dinners could be throughout history. 

I noticed the lack of salad or cooked veggies in most of the meals as well. I can see where the American "meat and potatoes" mythos came from. Also, the definition of what an "American" dinner seemed interesting to me since many of the dishes were of either European, African, or Latino descent.

Check out this interesting piece of history! This video has made me curious to taste a few of these dishes! Watch, learn, and Buen Provecho!

How to Make Hard-Boiled Eggs in the Oven

Sofrito Lovers,

Food hacks help amateur cooks like me make do!  Honestly, I want to master all the cooking techniques I can, but hacks help me cheat a bit.

Recently, I saw this video from FoodNetwork.com on Facebook that has motivated me to start getting creative with my oven.  I'm not a big fan of hard-boiled eggs, but I need to start incorporating more eggs into my diet. They're extremely nutritious and a super food for Diabetics.

I like scrambled eggs and can tolerate hard boiled eggs as well.  I plan on putting this hack to good use.  I'm going to start "hard-ovening" a dozen eggs and  incorporate them into my breakfasts and lunches.

Check out this cool little hack and start hard-ovening those eggs!  Watch it, bake it, and Buen Provecho!
