Ropa Vieja

Yessie just called me and she’s trying to make white rice and some ropa vieja. For those of you who aren’t sure what ropa vieja is, it basically stands for two things. Old clothes and it also stands for the name of this very delicious Spanish style shredded beef in seasoned sauce which is one of my kid’s favorite dishes.

So Yessie decided to make dinner today and that’s what’s she’s making tonight.

I guess I really can’t complain. I mean for her to come out of the blue wanting to make something for the whole family is such a nice gesture of hers.

For those who have never tried Spanish food and love beef, you definitely should try the fancy dish of “Ropa Vieja". I know you will absolutely love it!
