We Have Easter Menu Ideas!
Spring is Springing!Easter is such a happy beautiful occasion right at the beginning of Spring that is full of color and new life. In Christian faith the celebration is meaningful, as it celebrates Jesus rising from the dead. However we feel that has widely become a day full of family and friends that properly ushers in the new season. Easter has become a day for everyone to enjoy family and celebrate the new fresh air upon us and welcome what is to come. There is no right and wrong when it comes to this holiday. Everyone has their own traditions, and own schedule. We have heard of people celebrating in the morning, at dinner and all day in between. We have created a roundup of our ideal Easter menus depending on when and who you are hosting. FIND ALL OUR PERFECT EASTER MENUS HERE In this newsletter we are featuring our Brunch and Lunch Menus (you can find our Breakfast and Dinner Menus on our blog). Remember we always encourage you to mix and match different items from each menu. Do what suits you! We just think there are a few must-haves for Easter: something with eggs, something fresh and definitely a dessert- preferably our Tarta de Santiago (see below) for something traditional and delicious. Easter Brunch Menu:One of the best things about this brunch menu is how simple and varied it is. You can check things off your prep list in the days before Easter for a smooth brunch. This is a great menu if you are cooking just for your family or if you are hosting a larger group. The ham and pan de jamon can be made in advance while dishes like the zoodle salad and deviled eggs can be assembled but not dressed and garnished until the day you will serve anything. We love assembling the French toast casserole the night before so the custard can soak into the bread and then baking it off that morning so the house smells like a sweet bakery all afternoon. Pan de Jamon Easter Lunch Menu:Lunch is the perfect way to host your big family or a large group of friends. A few appetizers like our cheese dip and zucchini fritters will be the best way to start off and wait for the paella to be ready. Accompany the paella with our tostones and summer salad or any other vegetable and you have a perfect main course. The Tartara de Santiago’s sweet almond is the perfect traditional finish.

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. Just sharing it here in case anyone else out there wanted to avoid a blank stare whenever their child asks them about the holiday. 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...
