For those of you who know me, you know I am a fiery and LOUD Cuban Woman! And what do fiery, LOUD Cuban woman like? Salsa Dancing and tight pants, yes of course, but what we love most is…FOOD! Cuban food is not always healthy so I was super excited when I came across this yummy Paleo Cuban Crock Pot Ropa Vieja recipe. […]
Happy 8th Anniversary Ben! Today marks 8 years that Ben and I have been married. On September 4th, 2004, just less than 4 months after I graduated from college, Ben and I secretly got married so the Army would station us together. It sounds like the premise of several romantic WW2 movies were the couples were […]
Yes you read it correctly. AVOCADO Margaritas! I know this is a Mom’s healthy food blog but let me be the first to tell you that not EVERYTHING I write will all be about tofu and box jumping. Remember I am far from perfect and there are days I want to ring our boys necks (I know I am not the only one out there, right?!?!?!). On this […]
My Pulled Pork Sliders might be the easiest (yes I said EASIEST) crock pot recipe in my repertoire. It only has 3 ingredients and it is so yummy! The kids love it, adults love it, and Mamas love it too because there is little mess to clean up. This recipe is great to serve at parties, tailgating, etc. […]
I ENLIST YOU! I have been a busy bee this summer. Between work trips and a few mini family vacations, I have been all over the country/world these past couple of months.

Sorry you all for the week+ hiatus. I was living it up (on carbs and grains and all) with the family on vacation to the East coast for the past week and half. Can I tell you again how much my family (read EXTENDED family) means to me? I always say that I love living […]
My two favorite grain substitutions for pasta are spaghetti squash and julienne cut zucchini squash. We use spaghetti squash and zucchini in place of pasta exclusively now. Surprisingly, Jackson and Julian are my toughest critics. They still aren’t completely sold. They prefer “brown noodles”(whole wheat) over the “special yellow noodles (spaghetti squash).” Hopefully they will come around soon […]
Chicken Curry I don’t know about most of you, but I love love love curry. Most people you talk to either love it or hate it, never in between. So which one are you? If you THINK you hate it (because it smells funny) then I challenge you to try it again and you may be […]
So this is my first workout post on OurFullPlate.com and I have recently went round and round about what topic I wanted to first discuss. Ideally this page will feature everything from tips to start working out if you don’t work out at all, finding a more active you if you are in a slump, […]
Ok everyone, as you know, I am Cuban through and through and grew up on all things Cuban. Rice and beans were a staple in the Sanchez home and when we made pork… we MADE pork, Pernil style. Anyway, when I make a pork “Cuban style” I make my own flavorful “mojo” or wet rub, […]
