When my family has dinner, it is a little different than regular American food. On special occasions my mom makes Dominican food. We make empanadas,rice and gondolas and carne guisada (beef stew). I think that empanadas are my favorite. They are filled with beef and wrapped with a dough.It takes a lot of concentration to make these. Mostly because you have to season the meat and watch how long it cooks.Also the dough that we use is very fragile so you have to be careful when wrapping the beef in the dough.  

 Then we have my grandmother. She is Italian and makes Italian food all the time. My favorite is her pasta with meat sauce. When I watch her cook it I get bored because it takes so long to make. But I know that’s it’s worth waiting because it’s so good! My Grandmother uses a secret recipe that has been pasted down from her mother.  But in the end I love both foods!
