You are my go to channel for great Mexican dishes. I’m a white girl with a Mexican husband and babygirl and your recipes have taught me so much!!!! My husband loves menudo I need to try this. Im nervous too, but I think I can do it ❤

Rossana, your menudo looks delicious, but then all your dishes do! My dad is from Jalisco, Mexico. He's 93, almost 94, and been living with type 2 for many, many years. Now my daughter and I take care of him. We've changed what we eat, how we eat, how often we eat all to help him, but because YOU and Nelson have inspired us. I only use avocado oil, and olive oil, the kinds I see next to your stove. You are amazing and you're both such a blessing to anyone who watches your channel. We'll be praying for you, and Nelson. 😘

@@VillaCocina A lot of people I have talked to tell me that there is a severe bad smell when cooking Menudo, can you tell me what you use to get rid of that smell inside the house because they say there is a trick that is passed down from generation to generation so do you have that trick? God bless you and thank you very much.✝️✝️✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸

I was watching one of your episodes and saw your CGM. My 11 yo was diagnosed with T1D in Oct 2021, after going into DKA and having to be “Life Flighted” to Children’s Hospital.

Great recipe! I have a daughter and she loves making Mexican food. I love making food for both my kids. I am originally from Mexico but live in the US. I too was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and it has not been easy but I do my best to follow a good diet. My mom is also type 2 and I help her with her condition. Thank you for your recipes and sharing your condition. Keep up the channel going!

I love how your recipes include all edible parts of the animal. This shows respect for the animal giving their life. I've only had Menudo once, but loved it. But the only way to get it is to ask one of my Mexican friends to make it. Now I can try to make it myself! I'll have to freeze it in single serving sizes though. 😅 The full story about your condition is relatable to me. I don't have Type 1 diabetes but type 2. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 40, though, and enough damage was done to my pancreas that I was (and still am) also insulin resistant. After 20 years I now wear a continuous glucose monitor in hopes to steady my numbers, lower my A1c and possibly get an insulin pump. I have 3 of the four things important to you. Prayer, good diet, great water intake. But due to several spinal conditions and diseases, exercise is extremely limited. I can only due light swimming (but have no access to a pool) and walking (which the distance length is limited). I'll be having 2 spine surgeries next year and hope the exercise limitations improve. 🙏 I'm also sending prayers to you that you'll always have full control of your condition. 🙏 I love, love, love many of your recipes and, of course, adore seeing Nelson. I look forward to your authentic recipes that are slightly adjusted to cater to diabetics. Thank you for being you. You're really special. 👍❤️

So sorry to hear about your health situation, Diabetes is a very tricky situation but I pray you find what works best for you. Stay motivated! also, thanks for sharing your story, thanks for the support. Im deeply humbled by your wonderful comment.

I like the fact that you’re honest and full open about your situation with your diabetes. I am a diabetic myself a type two I have a hard time trying to find things that are good to eat and that still taste good not as much as it was in the beginning when I first discovered this is it now that I can’t find things it’s just finding new recipes that taste good, but yet keep the carbs down so that the A1c stays down I appreciate the fact of knowing someone like yourself that is a good cook and chef and have went to school to learn how to cook so that I can get special recipes from you that I have great flavors and I look forward to following your videos as you go through your challenges in life. Thanks so much with all your Share.

Im sorry to hear you have diabetes as well... I completely understand, it's a rollercoaster of emotions and continuous work. A well balanced diet/carb counting is what allows me to enjoy my favorite dishes once in a while. And, I love that I can still enjoy Mexican food responsibly. Balance and portion control is key. Keep up the good work, Im happy to know I can be of inspiration. Lastly, dont forget to stay in close connection with a medical professional when it comes to your health because everyone is different❤️. Ill do the same 😊 (This is not medical advice though)

Dear Rossana , how can I use Ancho Chilli in soup ? Greetings from Germany!

@VillaCocina

Жыл бұрын

Greetings!!! incorporating it is fairly easy. It's usually hydrated and blended into a sauce (very common technique. ) You just have to take into account its dried fruit sweetness, smoky flavor and the fact that is mild in heat in order to add the right amount. It can be paired with other peppers such as guajillos and puyas (for an added kick of heat.) It all depends on what kind of flavor you want to achieve, balance is key. Hope this was of help!
