If a guava pastelito and a creamy bread pudding had a baby… this would be it 🤤 GUAVA CREAM CHEESE CRINKLE CAKE 💕✨ Crispy, buttery layers of phyllo filled with creamy custard and pockets of sweet guava, then finished with a simple syrup while it’s still warm - HEAVEN!!!! Basically everything we love about guava + cream cheese, in cake form, so basically we are genies 🧞‍♀️ YOU’LL NEED: 1 (16 oz) package phyllo dough 1 stick unsalted butter, melted 14–16 oz guava jam, preserves or guava paste 1 (8 oz) bar cream cheese 2 large eggs 2 cups heavy cream 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 tbsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp salt FOR THE SYRUP: ¾ cup water ½ cup granulated sugar HOW TO MAKE IT: Crinkle two sheets of phyllo at a time accordion-style and pack them tightly into a 9x13 baking dish. Brush with melted butter and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until golden. Let cool for about 20 minutes. Blend the heavy cream, cream cheese, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla and salt until smooth. Pour it over the phyllo, then tuck or spoon the guava throughout the layers. Bake another 35–45 minutes until beautifully golden. While it bakes, simmer the sugar and water for about 10 minutes. Pour the syrup over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven and let it soak into all those crispy layers. Serve it warm. And yes… the crispy edges are the best part 😍 Save this one because guava + cream cheese never misses and you really do need to try this one!

The easiest chicken you will ever make! I started making this when my oldest was a baby because I needed dinners that required almost NO thought — and all these years later, my kids still ask for it- weekly! They call it mommy's chicken 🥹 - Cristy All you need: 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tbsp sazón Salt + pepper 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Season the chicken generously, drizzle with olive oil and roast uncovered at 350°F for about 60–65 minutes, or until cooked through! But the best part? THE SALSITA 🤌 All those juices at the bottom of the pan get spooned right over white rice and it is HEAVEN! Do not waste a drop 🔥 Easy. Reliable. Family-approved. Exactly the kind of recipe we think everyone should have in their back pocket!

Instant Pot Carne con Papas + Rice = 🤤 Tender chunks of beef, potatoes and carrots in a rich sauce and that final spoonful over fluffy white rice? Now that's dinner!! Here’s what you’ll need: 🥩 2½ lbs chuck roast, cut for stew 🧅 1 large onion, finely chopped 🫑 2 bell peppers — we like red + poblano 🧄 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped 🍅 8 oz crushed tomatoes 🥔 1 lb mini baby potatoes 🥕 3 large carrots 🍷 8 oz vino seco 🥣 2 cups chicken or beef broth 🥄 1½ tbsp cornstarch 🧂 2 tbsp salt 🌿 1½ tbsp sazón 🍃 2 bay leaves 🌱 ¼ cup chopped parsley 🫒 ¼–½ cup olive oil Here’s how we do it: Set the Instant Pot to sauté and get it nice and hot. Pat the beef dry, season with salt and pepper, then sear it in batches for about 2 minutes per side. Set the beef aside and build your sofrito right in the pot with the onions, peppers, salt, sazón and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add the garlic for another 2. Add the beef back in and coat it in all that sofrito. Mix in the cornstarch, then add the bay leaves, crushed tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, vino seco and broth. Pressure cook on HIGH for 35 minutes. Check that the beef is fall-apart tender if it needs more time, give it another 10 minutes — then finish with fresh parsley. (Abuela’s Cuban Counter⁠) And the only way we want to finish this meal… Pour the carne con papas and ALL that sauce right over a bed of white rice🍚 Save this one for your next Cuban comfort-food night ❤️ This recipe and more on AbuelasCounter.com 🐓🐓 #carneconpapas #cubanfood #instantpotrecipes #weeknightdinner #abuelascounter by @abuelascounter
