My brother has been married to a lovely Latina woman for over 15 years. Penelope is just like a sister to me, and certainly a member of our family. We always have so much fun spending time together. She has the biggest heart in the world, and she does a fantastic job taking care of my somewhat difficult at times brother. I figured out early on in their relationship, one of the reasons that my brother loved this woman so much. She is an incredible cook! She loves to do it too, and he loves to eat, so it was a match made in heaven right from the start.
Over the years, she has taken me into the kitchen with her and taught me some of her family recipes.
One that I still can’t get tired of looks quite a bit like this recipe from Spend with Pennies for Mexican stuffed peppers. If you’ve had stuffed peppers before, you are going to get a kick out of these. Every time she calls me and tells me that she is making these, we head right over.
I’m more than willing to help get these on the table faster.
