Every time the Hispanic Heritage Month rolls around I become really excited!  From September 15 to October 15 many people across the country celebrate and enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes of Hispanic culture.  A great way to celebrate with kids and acknowledge Hispanic contributions is through food.  I love how food exposes children to other cultures and opens their palates to different tastes. The Hispanic cuisine is so full of flavor and comes from many regions.

Today we’ll explore delicious foods from the countries of Spain, Peru, Chile, and the Dominican Republic.  This year, my 10-year-old will be the “chef of the day” and prepare a three-course meal to celebrate.  I, of course, will be his sous chef.

A three-course meal traditionally consists of an appetizer, entree, and dessert. In the menu I created, I included a beverage. You can see the full menu with an image below.  Print it out and enjoy!
