I recently made Arroz Con Pollo (Latin Chicken & Rice) and the recipe called for Sazon Seasoning.
Sazón, which means seasoning in Spanish, is a staple in Latin cooking. When added to soups, stews, and rice dishes it brings a beautiful yellow color.
Sure, I could have gone to my local market headed down the International Foods isle and found the familiar yellow and orange box of Sazon packets.

Make a batch of Homemade Adobo Seasoning Blend to have on hand.
This all-purpose blend is a delicious way to season meats, vegetables, soups and stews. You’ll find this spice blend is a key ingredient in many Latin, Mexican, and Caribbean recipes.
You’ve likely seen it on the grocery store shelves in the Latin/Mexican section.

Homemade Ice Cream in a Ziploc Bag allows everyone to celebrate National Ice Cream Day! Get shaking!!
Our first attempt at making ice cream in a Ziploc bag was the night I discovered Thin Mints in the freezer. It was late. For some reason we decided we couldn’t have one without the other. The ice cream was a success.

Crispy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
Move over cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli is making a comeback in this house!
Oven roasted, crispy-edged, parmesan-crusted, lemon-zested broccoli is THE best!!
You can serve it as an appetizer (hello…roasted Brussels sprouts are on nearly every appetizer menu).
You should definitely make it your go-to side dish. And Crispy Roasted Broccoli is more than happy stealing the show for any vegetarian meal!
