 I grew up watching my mother drinking cups of milk daily. She'd fill up her favorite glass with milk and leave it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Sometimes she'd let it freeze, or even dip her galleticas Marias into her COLD glass of Milk. I'd think it was weird.. Through my life I've drank my milk mostly with breakfast cereal & dip my favorite cookies or brownies. I also love adding it on foods that are best to cook with, like mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, special creamy sauces or soups. My siblings, Robert & Isabella, can go through a gallon of milk in 2 days, like if it were water. They don't really add any flavor to it (Chocolate, Strawberry, Sugar), they just drink it straight up with whatever meal, from their favorite breakfast cereal, a bowl of Spaghettis or favorite Steak! Having milk with my favorite bowl of pasta or entree isn't exactly what my stomach can handle, but to each their own... This past Monday, September 14th, Celebrity Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli enriched his guests with several recipe demonstrations at Eating House in Miami, FL. He displayed Latino plates with quality protein, as part of his MILK LIFE Somos Fuertes Campaign for Hispanic Heritage Month.
