Hot Mama In The City

Soybean oil is one of the most versatile ingredients in my pantry. The oil has a neutral flavor that helps me create some of my favorite traditional meals without compromising taste. Almost all margarine and shortenings contain soybean oil. It is also frequently used in mayonnaise, salad dressings, frozen foods, imitation dairy and meat products and commercially baked goods.

The United Soybean Board invites you to reflect on special moments in the kitchen preparing traditional recipes with your family with the “Capturing the Past for Better Future” Digital Time Capsule. Share a cherished recipe and the memories it stirs up from now until September 30, 2014 for a chance to become a featured video on soyconnection.com/hispanictraditions


Growing up in a Hispanic family with very traditional Hispanic recipes, we used a lot of cooking oil in most of our recipes. Using soybean oil in my recipes is something I do whenever I cook meals for my family. I use soybean oil in both my traditional family recipes like charro beans or when I make crunchy tacos and in many of my new recipes I've developed. 

Some of my favorite family recipes originated in my grandmother and great grandmother’s kitchens. The stories behind the recipes are cherished moments that I will pass on to my children. As a Soy Connection Ambassador, I encourage you to keep memories and cooking traditions alive by recording your stories and sharing them with us.
