Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
The meal that always brings me back to my childhood whenever I eat it is carne asada, Mexican rice, and beans. I remember the family get-togethers in my grandparent’s backyard, the savory aroma of the carne asada sizzling on the grill, and the laughter of my cousins echoing through the air. The vibrant colors of the Mexican rice and the heartiness of the beans always made the meal feel like a fiesta. Those were the times when we would sit around the table, sharing stories and creating cherished memories.
