We now know that eating healthier should be on our minds. Being Latino even gave you some ideas on what to buy, including oranges, apples and garlic. However, there are times where we just want to and splurge out in the city. But that doesnât necessarily mean we should eat at fast food restaurants. In fact, there are ways to eat out and still maintain a healthy diet. Luckily there are Latino chefs who are willing to take part in your healthy eating lifestyle and bring their culture into their work.
Every Puerto Rican knows that Christmas is fast approaching when Abuela starts making el arroz con dulce. As a child, the smell would make me melt. The first person to eat el arroz con dulce was me, warm, with a glass of leche on the side. I’d eat it cold too, but I preferred it warm, right out of the caldero.
After careful planning and perfecting, I think I came up with a good enough recipe to share with you all. Of course, you can make it your own, but if you use mine, let me know how it turned out.
El bochinche (or chisme) is big business today.  When I Googled Latino gossip, I found no less than seven sites dedicated solely to Latino gossip, and that was just on the first page (this doesn’t even take to account the number of gossip shows on TV).  I checked  out a few and was immediately bored.  Not because I’m above reading celebrity gossip, but because the writers seem to be grasping at anything to put a story together.
âSexy Latina.â The term is as ubiquitous as a Starbucks on a New York City corner. Searching for the term on Google will yield more than 2 million search results. Compare that to the 26k you find when you type in âsmart Latina.â
Latinas are sexualized in language and often, through terms that would more aptly describe foodâŠtheyâre âexotic,â âspicy,â âjuicy,â âhot tamales.â Latinas are sexualized in the media and perhaps nowhere more overtly than on Spanish-language channels themselves, on which âweather girlsâ wear low-cut clothing, super tight clothing, or hardly any clothing at all. The long-running SĂĄbado Gigante is one of the most egregious examples of female objectification. It showcases an ongoing parade of Latinas in bikinis. And in skits, women are portrayed as insipid ditzes, over-the-top sexpots, or both simultaneously.
