In my home, our Latin heritage is celebrated every day; ever since I’ve come to live in the U.S. and had children who are both Latino and from the States, I’ve wanted them to learn all about Latin cul-ture. Hispanic Heritage Month is ideal for appreciating our raíces, and one of my favorita ways to mark the occasion is by preparing traditional dishes such as this potato and meatball stew. This recipe comes from the culinary repertoire of my grandmother and mother; it couldn’t be easier, deliciosa, or more comforting. So, I invite you all to dust off a large pot and get ready to prepare for national Hispanic Heritage Month. Your body and taste buds will be sure to thank you!
