In this heartwarming video, Abuela teaches her great granddaughter how to make Arroz Con Leche. I have to say, watching these older videos from Abuelaskitchen on Youtube have me in tears because they make me miss my Abuelita and brings me back to a long time recipe that has been passed down from her to my grand kids.  Watching three generations cooking together shows the love Abuela had for her family and the true legacy she left behind. May she rest in peace.

If you aren't already a fan of Arroz Con Leche, this is one recipe your children will love. Follow abuelaskitchen on instagram and youtube. 

The 28th Street Metro Cruise celebrated it’s  16th Annual Car Show at Rogers Plaza in  Wyoming, MI. This is one of West Michigan’s biggest car events drawing over  275,000 spectators or more over a period  of two days.  It started on Friday with celebrations & ended on Saturday evening with  greater fanfare.   Rogers Plaza is where the main event is  held every year but the line up along 28th  St extends for miles from East to West.   People gather together in front of businesses and empty lots or on the corners to  enjoy many vendors, food trucks, restaurants, moving from location to location  and enjoying entertainment stages with  live music & DJ & lots of cars!    From Woodland Mall, people were able to  get out their lawn chairs to see cars, trucks  & motorcycles that cruise up and down  28th street to Rogers Plaza.  It was a great  night to see so many cars and meet people.  Somos pocos pero locos en  lowriding!  Having a car event?   Contact Homer (616)893-3906  deeho123@comcast.net
