I'm also PR. There is nothing that I Do NOT miss from eating my Spanish food. I just have to learn how to handle a very small portion of it. Have to eat like a toddler will eat. Don't over do it. (Eating)

Ay Dios mio - I know. It will definitely be a challenge but small portion is best option

Yes. Keep up with your calorie and your protein. Portion your food. Go with brown rice if u tried it.

If you find any bariatric type Puerto Rico recipes post them. I may be a redheaded gringa but I love the cuisine. My late hubby's friend Rico was.a good cook and he shared. Ymmmn!

I’m part Puerto Rican and have tried brown rice it does taste the same as white rice when you make it yellow. There are substitute websites out there and the flavor is hit or miss

what are the websites and what thing have you tried making so far

Malanga is my best friend! I’m very creative in the kitchen and there’s nothing I can’t make that’s sleeve friendly. Sometimes it just has to be small portions but otherwise if u can cook you will definitely make changes that are delicious and suit your needs! By the way I use brown rice to make rice with gandulez and it’s delicious.

i found a recipe for arroz con pollo with cauliflower rice!!!

Share Lorena please!
