I'd be totally remiss for not including Mexico in this annual {All Around Latin America} roundup, right? You'd think I was crazy and not really in tune with Latin culture and food. I kind of waited until the last two days to feature it, kind of intentiona...

{All Around Latin America} Dominican Republic: Sweet Plantain Rice in Celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month
Day 4 of {All Around Latin America} food series is just what I really needed to see for myself. It's rainy here in DC, and a hearty, warm home cooked meal is what every soul should desire. It's stay-in-the-house kind of weather and what my amiguita Melis...
