@Athenav1

Your grandmother did the right thing in teaching you to make them.

You made Jackie up above laugh because you used the F word...by the way, you made me laugh as well because I know how our older relatives can become attached to the strangest things. Ha ha! Good post. Thanx.

Making alcapurrias, pasteles (plantain like tamales but in a plantain leaf instead of a corn husk) and the coconut desserts is a family affair. I remember grating plantains and other ingredients; also grating coconut when I was a child (just for a little while to help).

Thank you so much for making this video! This is exactly the way my mom does it and her pasteles... everything with the Guayador (very old school...LOL)! Your mama is beautiful, she reminds me of my mom. GOD bless her and your family! Keep making more videos with her!

God bless your family. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I'm going to making this for easter. My mom past away a long time ago and I never got the chance to learn her recipes. Again thank you. Can't wait to see what else your mom can teach us. Give her a big hug and kiss for us.

I love the video but I the same time I felt so sad :( I really miss my family who are all in PR.

In my kitchen PR is in every meal :).
