The Sides that Steal the Show!
Thanksgiving is Really All About the SidesOn Thanksgiving, it seems to us that the Turkey gets all the focus and all the praise. However we are strong believers that the sides are what make the meal. You know we are right! The turkey is delicious (or it can be) but it's all the things that you pile on next to the turkey that make the meal memorable and keeps the people coming back for more. This newsletter is dedicated to all our favorite Thanksgiving sides. So if you are looking for a little inspiration or need a new side recipe to help turn up the heat at your Thanksgiving table you are in luck! We got you covered today! Our Favorite Thanksgiving SidesThere are a few ways we can categorize sides. We are going to start with the classic carb loaded sides that everyone knows and loves. Then we will also show you a few lighter more "health" friendly recipes that will help keep the meal balanced. As we always advise, the key to any meal you are hosting is to find the balance and to be sure there is something for everyone. We do have one recipe that transcends all rules. It is technically a side, but it is more of a sauce and it is far and away our most clicked recipe this time of year: The Classic Carby Favorites The Lighter FavoritesTools We Can’t Live Without:We don't know about you but we are never making mashed potatoes without a potato ricer ever again. It really is the secret to non-gummy no lump mashed potatoes that you dream of.

If you've been here for a while, you know- Thanksgiving is one of our absolute favorite days of the year! We think hosting it is a badge of honor. What a wonderful blessing to be able to gather and host a meal for your favorite people on a day dedicated to gratitude. However we know that this "blessing" does not come easily, and that there is a lot of work and sacrifice that goes into a hosting a night like this. One of our goals here at Abuela's Counter is demystifying the urban legends of...
Hispanic Heritage Month is Here While we think Hispanic Heritage is something that should be celebrated year round. Over the last couple of years, we have taken Hispanic Heritage Month as a time to reflect on other cultures outside of our own, Cuban. It’s been a pleasure to dive into their ingredients and ways of tying food together that both is so similar to what we know and also has a subtle difference that sets it apart. It’s been an incredible journey to find the overlap between cultures....
Happy Labor Day! Happy Labor Day! We are a little embarrassed, but we actually did not know the exact reason we celebrate Labor Day. We did a little google search.

Labor Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the first Monday of September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and...
