Homestyle Healthy: Puerto Rican Food
May Vokaty
Recently, my husband and I took a little vacation to Puerto Rico. Getting away to a tropical island for a little R&R was a most welcome treat.
Puerto Ricans are friendly, charming and very proud of their beautiful island, and rightly so. Majestic beaches, beautiful weather, the ancient rain forest, El Yunque are just a few of the reasons to fall in love with Puerto Rico.
