Bacalaitos (Codfish Fritters) con Salad
Historia
When the ocean breeze used to hit the porch de Don Luis’s childhood home in Puerto Rico, *abuelita* would call out, “¡Los bacalaitos están listos!” The crispy sound de fritters frying in the pan was music to his ears. Back then, he’d sneak into the kitchen, pretending to grab a napkin—only to snatch the first golden fritter off the plate! 😄 Now, standing in his rustic kitchen con his signature jean-y-leather apron, Don Luis recreates this crunchy memory para his grandkids, pairing it con a refreshing salad to keep things light y bright. This dish is a crispy celebration de heritage y a reminder that simple moments create lasting joy. 💛🌊 Time & Nutrition
